Monrovia, Liberia - The President of the Republic, H.E. George Manneh Weah, has delivered a consignment of pickup trucks and motorbikes to traditional leaders of Liberia. The President also provided ambulances to all county health teams of the country.

The provision of 30 pickups (two per county), 150 motorbikes (10 per county) and 15 ambulances to the 15 county health teams was a fulfilment of his promise to the local leaders who had requested them during his nationwide tour last year.

The donation was made Tuesday, January 25, 2022 at the Samuel Kanyon Doe (SKD) Sports Complex, where throngs of traditional leaders and counties superintendents from across the 15 counties of Liberia had gathered for the rather electrifying ceremony.

“This is the promise I made to you during my county tour,” the President said in a short statement. “Each county asked me for three motorbikes and one vehicle to be able to move around. But I am pleased to give you ten motorbikes and two vehicles per county.”

President Weah said as a private citizen then, he provided for Liberians from his personal resources and that he will, as President of Liberia, do more for the people of the country.
 

“I don’t have to tell you how to use them, but it should serve as conduit in your efforts to help the government, to reach out to different parts of your counties with ease,” the President told the beneficiaries of the logistics.
 

He also urged traditional leaders to put dialogue first in every undertaking, rather than agitating and fighting.
 

In separate remarks, the excitement-filled traditional people thanked President Weah and the government for the donations, which they described as unprecedented in the history of local governance in Liberia.
 

The chiefs and elders said the vehicles would ease their movements and also strengthen their capacities to get government's policies across to every nook and corners of their control-areas.
 

They pledged their unflinching support to President Weah and his administration and invoked God’s blessings upon him as he works to elevate the country and involve every citizen.
