In a move to strengthen grassroots security efforts, Bong County Senator Prince Kermue Moye has donated two brand new motorbikes and L$320,000 to the Bong County Community Watch Forum. The contribution is aimed at enhancing the group’s operations in some of the county’s most remote and vulnerable areas.
The donation was presented on Thursday in Gbarnga through the Bong County Police Detachment by Daniel Kerkulah, Special Assistant to Senator Moye.
“This donation is the Senator’s way of reaffirming his commitment to public safety and community policing,” Kerkulah said. “He understands the challenges our community security groups face, especially in the hard-to-reach areas.”
The Community Watch Forum works in collaboration with the Liberia National Police to maintain law and order at the grassroots level, often serving as the first line of defense in rural communities where formal police presence is limited.
Receiving the donation, Superintendent of Police Fassu Sheriff praised Senator Moye for his continued support to the security sector.
“We are grateful for this timely intervention,” Sheriff said. “The Bong County Police Detachment has been working closely with the Community Watch Forum, and this support will go a long way in helping us respond to security concerns in real time.”
Sheriff emphasized the importance of such partnerships in ensuring the safety and protection of lives and property across the county.
Senator Moye, who represents Bong County in the Liberian Senate, has often prioritized security and development in his legislative agenda. In a statement released following the donation, he reiterated his dedication to fostering peace and justice in the county.
“The safety of my people remains my top priority,” the senator said during the campaign. “We cannot talk about development in the absence of security. That is why I will continue to stand with our security institutions and community volunteers who risk their lives every day.”
The Community Watch Forum is expected to use the motorbikes and cash donation to increase mobility and conduct patrols in hard-to-reach communities where crimes often go unreported due to lack of access.
