According to Mr. Dorley, the drugs were purchased based on the prescriptions made by the County’s Health Team and at the same time informed the clinic staffs that the medicines he donated are not expired.
He said despite he did not win the December 8, 2020 Senatorial Election in Bomi County, he cannot deny the people of the county the development and assistances he promised them.
