In a heartfelt address to the public, Paramount Chief Brima Sullaman Kamara II of Kabondeh Chiefdom Pujehun District lamented the ongoing underdevelopment plaguing his community.
Despite substantial tax contributions, the chiefdom has yet to witness significant infrastructural progress.
Chief Kamara outlined a myriad of challenges, including the absence of clean water facilities, inadequate school infrastructure for junior secondary education, deficient road networks, poor mobile network coverage, the absence of a court facility for administrative activities, and the glaring absence of a police post, fostering an environment of lawlessness.
Furthermore, he highlighted the absence of a paramount chief quarter within the chiefdom, exacerbating logistical difficulties in governance and representation.
Expressing disappointment, Chief Kamara called upon the government, stakeholders, councils, and NGOs to prioritize the developmental needs of Kabondeh Chiefdom. He emphasized the urgency of addressing these pressing issues to uplift the livelihoods of the community members and ensure equitable access to essential services.
The appeal serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of equitable development initiatives and collaborative efforts to address the socio-economic disparities within regions like Kabondeh Chiefdom.
You nor even don 1 year yet, you don begin grumble? You nor see natin yet sef. Wait tae 2025 to 2026… na im you go see something… Na una same wan bin dae hala for ram… (me ah nor dae call name ooo). Shaka Steven bin say, “call name na im dae bring plaba”.
Who is responsible for the problem in the chiefdoms, the government, the elected MPs, the chief or who?
There is a saying thus, ‘when everybody’s business becomes nobody’s business, everybody suffers’, could that be what is affecting that chiefdoms?
As a product of that district, I am aware that at every given time in the political history of that country there has always been highly placed sons and daughters of that district in positions of trust, but do they really serve their people? My answer to that question is ‘a big no’, so, why blame government, after all we all are the government.
I advise the chief to bring a proposal to the government through its political appointees, councillors etc detailing what the district in general needs, how he Hope’s to utilise any resources available and what contribution the chiefdom is ready to provide, as the chiefdom in question is the district headquarters, rather than just making unfounded claims about neglect by central government, what do you think?
