Meanwhile, a Bong County citizen based in the US, Dennis Garsinii has sent communication to the Bong County Legislative Caucus through its chairman, J. Papa Kolleh requesting an investigation into the mining accident that led to the death of the four men.
According to him, accidents such as the one under discussion are avoidable if people behave differently in Liberia.
“Representation comes with responsibilities one of which should not be self-interest seeking. The people of Kokoyah, especially residents of Bonsein have paid way too much price for hosting mining operations with little benefits. I hope that steps will be taken to mitigate risks to our people in the area” he concluded
