The Marbigi County District 3 lawmaker has presented to the Muslim Community a payment receipt for a lot of land, proposed for the construction of a Muslim Women’s Clinic in the District.
The presentation of the land to the Muslim community brought about a huge appreciation from the residents, thus resulting in Islamic jingles being voiced in a sportive slogan and the show of anxiety to their lawmakers.
She made the presentation before hundreds of Muslims in Kakata City, Margibi County who gathered for a reconciliation meeting with their District 3 Representative Ellen Attoh-Wreh.
According to the representative of the community, Mohammed Alieu Bility, the gathering was aimed at holding a frank conversation with their Representative for reconciliation, following the outcome of the 2024 elections which they believed brought some strange feelings within their community.
Solaiman A. Barry, the Muslim Youth Community representative, and the Muslim Women representative, Assata Dunor called on their Representative to see all persons of the District as one people.
The two, however, lamented that during the elections in 2023, though some of their faith-based brothers participated in the elections, but did not abandon Rep. Attoh-Wreh, but pleaded that what happened, has happened, and there is a need for oneness in the spirit of reconciliation.
Omaru Jalloh from the United Dawah Umah of Liberia called for unity amongst Muslims in the county.
The United Dawah Uman of Liberia is a faith-based civil grouping for the promotion of Islamism and its virtues between and amongst Muslims of different ethnic or traditional persuasions.
Imam Abraham Massalay in his supplication for the District also called for unity amongst Muslims of the district seeking Allah’s favor and blessings.
The Imam along with the representative of the Margibi County Muslim Council called on Rep. Attoh-Wreh to use her influence to ensure that Muslims in the county are represented at the level of the county’s local government leadership.
Meanwhile, the lawmaker said that during the elections many found it difficult to continue their support to her because there were other Muslim contestants; she holds nothing against anyone, and now there is a need for everybody to work together for the good of the District.
According to Attoh-Wreh the fact that the Muslim community gathered in the manner and fashion as they did, she felt the spirit of one oneness and reconciliation among them as residents who want the good of the District.
Attoh-Wreh further committed to working with everyone, stating that she intends to be a leader, not a ruler.
She then disclosed that the Government of Liberia in the budget process has considered US$100,000 for the developments in the District.
The lawmaker continues that the development monies when available, residents themselves will meet and decide which project they want to execute.
She called on District residents to begin thinking about impactful projects to do in the District as the government raises the monies in its fiscal budget.
