The Co-chair of the Grand Gedeh County Senior Citizens’ Grievance Committee, Joseph Taryon, says his mission in Monrovia is not on falsehood.
Prof. Taryon is one of the lead advocates against those linked to criminality in public offices especially in Grand Gedeh County and Superintendent Kai Farley is not off that hook.
However, it is being rumored that people believed to be confidants of Superintendent Farley in Grand Gedeh County have embarked on a mission to taint Prof. Taryon’s character because of his advocacy.
“I am not the one calling the Superintendent a criminal. He told the citizens of Grand Gedeh County that he is a criminal, so those alleging that I, Prof. Joseph Taryon is the one calling Kai Farley a criminal are spreading falsehood,” Taryon clarified.
In his disappointment over the widespread rumor, the senior citizen however said, Superintendent Farley’s involvement in criminality is not an issue of allegation.
The Grand Gedeh Senior Citizens Grievance Committee’s stern position is that Superintendent Farley’s connection to criminality should no longer be classified as an allegation on grounds that a public statement made by himself on July 3, 2021 in an administrative meeting confirmed him of being a criminal.
Speaking in an interview with this paper recently, Prof. Taryon alleged that residents of Grand Gedeh County are being victimized by the actions of the Superintendent on many occasions and that serves as tangible reasons for which residents want him dismissed.
“The Superintendent in a stakeholders’ meeting agreed to have taken the county’s yellow machine to Sinoe for contact in order to put money in his pocket unknown to the residents and that is a criminal action,” Taryon reminded.
He asserted that, “The superintendent accepted that under our law anyone who practices criminality is a criminal and that remark was made in the presence of the development superintendent and other people who raised the concerns about the machines that were missing at that time.”
Meanwhile, the aggrieved citizens are still calling on President George Weah to investigate the superintendent over the alleged misuse of public office and at the same, are urging him to take the appropriate actions in order to rid his government of corrupt officials.
