GBARNGA, Bong County — The political leader of the Citizens Movement for Change (CMC), Hon. Musa Bility, has pledged to construct 20 miles of roads in Bong County if Sen. Prince Moye undertakes just five miles in his home county.
Bility criticized Moye for what he described as a lack of tangible development in Bong despite the senator’s reputation as the county’s “political godfather.” He accused Moye of failing to use his influence in the Liberian Legislature to deliver meaningful infrastructure or livelihood projects.
“The Legislature shared 800 million in 2024 among lawmakers. Hon. Moye, who served on the committee, didn’t bring any development here but now wants to fight us because we want to undertake projects,” Bility said. “I came here to carry out development, and he wants to make it look like I came to his farm.”
Bility further alleged that Moye, who has served on several lucrative legislative committees, has not used his position to improve the lives of Bong residents. Instead, he claimed, the senator has focused on personal gain.
“Moye thinks the people are from his farms. What kind of heartlessness is that? Whether they like it or not, we will never leave Bong County the way it used to be. CMC will improve Bong County,” Bility asserted.
He also accused Moye of amassing wealth and properties through corrupt practices, challenging the senator to publicly disclose the source of his assets to dispel what he called growing public suspicion.
According to Bility, Moye has grown increasingly unsettled by the CMC’s presence in Bong County and has allegedly been mobilizing residents to resist his development initiatives. The CMC leader insisted, however, that his party is committed to “liberating Bong County” — a mission he said Moye cannot derail.
Bility made the remarks during the groundbreaking ceremony for a US$500,000 bridge project over the Jor River in Gbarnga over the weekend. He said the bridge fulfills a request by Rep. Josiah Marvin Cole, whom he praised for prioritizing the needs of his constituents.
“When I approached Rep. Cole to join our political movement, he didn’t ask for personal benefits. Instead, he requested projects that would benefit his people,” Bility said.
Bility, who represents Nimba County District 7, criticized what he described as attempts by the Bong County administration to obstruct the bridge construction.
Residents say the absence of a bridge over the Jor River — which connects Civil Compound with Jorkpamue and nearby communities — has long endangered lives, citing several drownings over the years. Locals believe the new bridge will bring long-awaited relief and safer travel for commuters.
Bility noted that the Jor River bridge is the first of several infrastructure projects the CMC plans to deliver in Bong County.
“They want us to abandon this bridge so that more lives can be lost, but we will not. This is not the last project we will do here. Bong County is the second home of the CMC,” he concluded.
