Speaking earlier, NAYMOTE Program Assistant BakoKorboiShuaibu averred that the process is also part of efforts to support the national policy of the decentralization process and discover what citizens think about the Local Government Act of 2018.Shuaibu maintains that if citizens in rural Liberia must have an understanding of the legal document, the need for more of such engagement cannot be overemphasized.

Giving the level of financial support, Shaibu discloses that the exercise is expected to be extended to all of Liberia’s 15 political sub – divisions.
