TUBMANBURG, Bomi County — Klay District Commissioner Momo Seh on Wednesday praised Bomi County Sen. Edwin Melvin Snowe as “a man of peace and development” during the senator’s presentation of his 2025 annual legislative report, which highlighted scholarship support, oversight initiatives and community projects across the county.
The report presentation, held at C.H. Dweh High School in Tubmanburg, drew a large crowd of government officials, traditional leaders, civil society representatives, students, and residents from across Bomi County.
Snowe used the occasion to outline his work in 2025, including legislative and oversight efforts, scholarships, development initiatives, humanitarian assistance and community outreach.
Oversight and national advocacy
Snowe said his office helped push the Senate to establish a special committee—chaired by Gbarpolu County Sen. Amara Konneh—to examine mechanisms for restoring funds deducted from civil servants’ salaries following the government’s salary harmonization process. He said the effort reflects his broader advocacy for fairness and economic relief for public workers.
Scholarships and education support
On education, the senator said 100 Bomi County students are currently benefiting from his scholarship program at Bomi Community College, while three students are pursuing studies in India at his personal expense.
Snowe also promised that Tubmanburg will soon have a modern, fully air-conditioned city hall, which he said he expects to complete by this time next year.
Commissioner Seh commended Snowe for reporting back to constituents, calling the annual legislative report a sign of accountability and transparency in public service.
He said such engagements strengthen trust between citizens and elected officials by keeping communities informed about legislative performance.
Community appeals raised
The forum also provided space for institutions and advocacy groups to raise concerns affecting the county.
Representatives of Bomi Junior High School cited deteriorating learning conditions, including a shortage of classrooms and teachers, and appealed for urgent support.
Meanwhile, Patricia Kamara and Moses Saah, representing the disabled community and the National Civil Society Council of Liberia’s Bomi chapter, appealed for an ECOWAS parliamentary slot to expand civil society exposure and partnerships. The disabled community also requested economic empowerment support to help keep their children in school.
Snowe pledges support
In response, Snowe said he will engage members of the Bomi Legislative Caucus to pursue renovation of Bomi Junior High School, while committing personal support toward the effort.
He also agreed to support the civil society request for an ECOWAS slot, promising to facilitate participation alongside the already recognized Council of Chiefs.
In an emotional moment, Snowe said his wife has agreed to sponsor the education of children from the disabled community.
Key projects highlighted
Snowe’s report also detailed a series of youth and development initiatives carried out in 2025, including a vacation job program launched in August that benefited 375 students with a total value of L$1 million.
He said he established a Scholarship Vetting Committee in September to promote transparency in awarding scholarships, and later dedicated a legislative-funded multi-purpose basketball and volleyball court at C.H. Dewey Central High School in November.
In December, he said he turned over a legislative-funded multi-purpose town hall in Sackie Town to support civic meetings and community programs.
The program ended with speakers applauding Snowe’s report as an exercise in democratic accountability, while offering prayers for his continued leadership and service.
Snowe formally presented the report on Jan. 21, 2026, also highlighting domestic and regional engagements, including missions tied to his ECOWAS parliamentary responsibilities.
