Maryland County Senator J. Gbleh-bo Brown has launched a call for reconciliation among Marylanders.
The lawmaker, who was re-elected during the general presidential and representative elections on October 10, 2023, has embarked on a peace and reconciliation campaign across Maryland County.
eaking at his hometown residence in Manolu, Karluway District, Maryland County, on December 28, 2024, following visits to Wartiken, Karloken, Wuluken, and Manolu, Senator Brown expressed his gratitude to Marylanders for re-electing him.
He emphasized his commitment to fostering unity and peace in the county.
The senator stated that he returned to the county to appreciate voters who had recommitted themselves by placing their trust and confidence in him to serve Maryland for a second term.
Senator Brown outlined multiple reasons for his visit, including appreciating voters, touring the J.J. Dossen Memorial Hospital in Harper City, inspecting the ongoing international bridge construction project by ECOWAS at the Cavalla River, and conducting a countywide tour of all districts in Maryland County.
According to Senator Brown, he regrets the delay in expressing his gratitude due to the crisis at the House of Representatives and an unfortunate fire incident leaving several properties damaged.
The Maryland lawmaker, who also serves as Chairman of the Committee on Rules, Order, and Administration at the Liberian Senate, noted that he would have loved to celebrate with Marylanders, but the crises hindered his plans and delayed the passage of the 2025 National Budget.
Senator Brown reaffirmed his top priority to unite Marylanders and promote peace among all residents and inhabitants of the county.
The senator also extended his sincere gratitude for being re-elected, a milestone he noted had never happened before in Maryland’s history.
He recommitted himself to restoring peace at William V.S. Tubman University following the suspension of 15 students allegedly accused of violating the student handbook.
He promised to engage in dialogue with the university administration and the student council leadership to resolve the conflict on campus.
Senator Brown announced plans to break ground for the construction of a bus stop in Harper to serve university students during both rainy and dry seasons.
He explained that the project was initiated following a formal request by the student council leadership.
He highlighted the significance of William V.S. Tubman University as Liberia’s second state-run university and emphasized the potential contributions of the University and Concession companies in Maryland County.
Despite these advancements, Senator Brown lamented the lack of qualify Marylanders during his tenure as County Superintendent which has attributed to the loss of job opportunities which TU is providing now and needs to be protected by all Liberian.
