Representative Domah explained that the US$ 1.6 million is part of the county’s Social Development Funds which was released into the Government of Liberia’s account.
The District 7 lawmaker further disclosed that continuous confusion among the legislative caucus is hampering the smooth operation of the county in term of developments and also delaying the council sitting.
