MP accuses Paramount Chief of embezzlement
The Paramount Chief of Gbo Chiefdom, P.C. Tutu Fawundu and P.C. Desmond Kagobai of Selenga Chiefdom both in the Bo District, have come under scathing attack by the Member of Parliament for Constituency 77, Hon. Paul Kamara for alleged misappropriation of nineteen bundles of corrugated iron zinc. The zinc was meant for the construction of a quarter for the Health Centre at Baima town and a school building for Gualla village in the Gbo Chiefdom, together with five bundles meant for another building project for Dambala, the chiefdom headquarter town of Selenga Chiefdom .
Speaking in a radio broadcast over Radio KISS 104 FM in Bo, Hon. Paul Kamara said that out of the nineteen bundles in question, seven bundles each were for the School and the quarter for the Health Centre in the two towns in Gbo Chiefdom, while the remaining five bundles were meant for the building work in Selenga Chiefdom, all respectively entrusted to each of the two Paramount Chiefs in question.
Explaining further, Hon. Paul Kamara expressed deep disappointment over the alleged misuse of the zinc, and that all efforts made to get the two Chiefs produce the items, have failed and called for an intensive investigation.
He described the practice on the part of the Paramount Chiefs as a calculated ploy to sabotage his good intention to contribute meaningfully to the development in his Constituency which, he stated, is in dire need of infrastructural development.
He therefore promised to do all in his power to let the Chiefs produce the nine bundles of zinc
Speaking to Awoko News, P.C. Kagobai of Selenga Chiefdom was quick to dismiss the PMDC Member of Parliament and further promised to call up a joint Press Conference together with P.C. Tutu Fawundu of Gbo Chiefdom, with the view of explaining the entire accusation and above all to properly throw light on the
whole issue.
There has been no independent verification of the above accusation except that various people spoken to say the rift between the Paramount Chiefs and the MP for Constituency 77 is not good to write home about which analysts say is not good for the development of war-torn chiefdoms, and henceforth called for an end to the hostilities.
