Suakoko District, Bong County - Liberia’s Ambassador to Washington Jeremiah Sulunteh has again proven what he is known for in his native land of Bong County - donating US$5,000 and making available an assortment of tools aimed at giving Gbarnga a facelift this festive season.

It was an amount that marked Sulunteh’s eighth consecutive year in his pursuit to make Gbarnga a place of public attraction being a centrally-located city.

The amount now sums up to US$40, 000 that had been infused into the beautification of the city during the period under review.

The gesture, according to Victor Flomo, head of the dedication that trooped from Monrovia to Gbarnga, was intended to continue a culture Ambassador Sulunteh had begun since his preferment of Liberia’s transport minister 2006.

He told FrontPageAfrica that Amb. Sulunteh intends spreading this culture not only in Bong but all of Liberia’s fifteen counties with a message to the citizenry to uphold the tenets of cleanliness.

Mr. Flomo further assured that the Liberian Ambassador will do all in his capacity to ensure that Gbarnga and other parts of the county remain a place of attraction. He said, “The Ambassador intends to do more of this in the near future perhaps in taking this gesture to other parts of the county.”

The commencement of the campaign code name “Sulunteh’s Pride County” according to inside sources will begin tomorrow December 6, 2012 in a bid of preparing ahead of the planned Vision 2030 national conference in Gbarnga.

Sulunteh’s Assistance in Bong gained Recognition

Even out on ambassadorial assignment, the Suakoko-born has evitably won the hearts of every street corner in his homeland with credits being attributed to the continuity in the “Sulunteh scholarship of Excellence” that accommodates over two thousand students at both Cuttington and secondary institutions across the county.

As son of a recognized Suakoko philanthropist in Youbbah Sulunteh, the former NDPL vice presidential candidate’s parental upbringing, you would suspect, has disciplined him in relating to the greater masses (underprivileged).

As he revealed in 2010: “I love sharing the merger I have. Sometimes it may appear small in the eyes of many but once it meets the satisfaction of those in need I am pleased.”

Residents expressed gratitude to Sulunteh

Pleased with the gesture, representatives of the City Mayor and Superintendent offices lauded the Liberian Ambassador for identifying with Gbarnga.

The delegates said the Ambassador’s gesture reflects his true passion for his native land despite him rising to the highest position ever occupied by a Bong County citizen.

They described the donation as timely and revealed that it arrived at the time they were short of busy utensil in their bid to work out modalities for the planned Vision 2030 national conference to be held in Gbarnga.

Sulunteh’s senatorial ambition grows among youths

Pleased with the huge turnout that greeted Sulunteh’s donation program, supporters of the former CU lecturer said it was largely indicative and symptomatic of his ‘political strength’ in the county despite being exile for nearly a year.

Flomo said: “Supporters of Sulunteh are still interested in the senatorial seat amid the list of candidates.”
