The Grand Bassa County Administration has taken a significant step toward improving governance and service delivery by distributing 28 motorbikes to district superintendents and commissioners.
The official handover ceremony was held on Wednesday at the county administrative office, signaling a commitment to strengthening rural outreach.
Superintendent Karyou Johnson presided over the event, emphasizing that the motorbikes were procured through the 2024 budget, following all procurement guidelines mandated by the Public Procurement and Concessions Commission (PPCC).
“These motorbikes are crucial in addressing the transportation challenges faced by our local leaders in remote areas,” Superintendent Johnson stated.
He urged recipients to utilize the motorbikes responsibly, warning that strict measures would be enforced against misuse.
“This resource must be used solely for the purpose of serving our communities efficiently,” he emphasized.
In addition to the motorbikes, Superintendent Johnson announced the purchase of 200 bags of rice, which will be distributed among local leaders in preparation for the upcoming July 26 Independence Day celebrations.
Among other things, the gesture aims to foster unity and provide support across the county’s districts and townships.
Speaking on behalf of the commissioners, Harlandsville Township Commissioner Isaac Williams expressed gratitude for the initiative.
“This will greatly improve our ability to perform our duties and reach our constituents,” he said.
Meanwhile, Williams also urged his fellow local leaders to adhere to the rules governing the responsible use of the motorbikes.
