Inducting Madam Walker into office, Liberia’s Internal Affairs Minister Varney Sirleaf challenged the new superintendent to professionally perform her duties free from political differences.

Minister Sirleaf assured the Bong County superintendent of his fullest support. Turning the gable of authority over to the new superintendent, former Bong County Superintendent Madam Selena Polson Mappy encouraged Mrs. Walker to work with those who will be willing to help in achieving her goals.

She extended commendation to former President Ellen Johnson – Sirleaf for affording her the opportunity to serve the post. Though there were rumors that Madam Mappy was not invited at the event, she however pledged her commitment in working with the new superintendent for the county’s growth and development.

For her part, Madam Esther Walker assured the People of the County her fullest cooperation as new superintendent, saying “My appointment is not because I want to enrich myself, but to start from where past superintendents stopped”.

She assures residents that Bong County will gradually transform in terms of development and even get better than other counties in Liberia.

“Madam Walker has worked with me for a very long time and she is capable of doing the job. But all you need to do is to support her because when she achieves, meaning Bong county has achieved,” Madam Taylor concluded.
