The death news of Grand Gedeh County District #1 Lawmaker,Erol Madison Gwion Sr. has turned dramatic as a group of citizens in the county carried out unlawful actions by destroying properties belonging to those believed to be behind his death.
Early Tuesday morning December 5, 2023, a group of disenchanted citizens in Zredu, the capital city of Grand Gedeh County, stunned the street, burned down several residences and the Office of the traditional council in the county.
During their actions, one of the homes belonging to their Senator, Zoe Emmanuel Pennue was set ablaze while the other home was vandalized followed by burning down several houses belonging to a lady whose name is yet to be identified, but was accused of confessing that she bewitched the late Lawmaker.
Accordingly, some citizens of the county believe that Senator Pennue used the lady who allegedly confessed to bewitching Representative Erol Madison Gwion Sr., and have him killed for reasons yet to be known.
Madison is a member of the 54th legislature from the outgoing Coalition for Democratic (CDC) , who got reelected during the October 10th legislative and presidential elections awaiting to be certificated as a 55th member of the legislature on December 8, this year.
He served as a representative of the Tchien district in the county before being announced dead this week.
For the year 2022, Representative Erol Madison Gwion, Sr. (LRP, Dist. #1, Grand Gedeh Co.) gave back to his Constituency a record amount of US$30,000 and LR$1,194,000 in fulfillment of his voluntary promise to equally share his monthly salary with his People for the purpose of rolling out basic development initiatives that will benefit them.
Fully coming to terms with the vow to submit fifty percent of his salary, presents a unique view in the politics of Liberia.
Rep. Gwion signed a notarized, legal Promissory Note, committing to the people of his District that he would give back to them half of his salary. He did that in October 2021 when he joined the race to become Representative of District #1 in the November 16, 2021 by-election in Grand Gedeh County.
At the ballot, Gwion of the Liberia Restoration Party (LRP) by them decisively defeated rival Jeremiah G. Sokan of the governing Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) who many “CDCians” in the district believe was wrongly picked to vie on the ticket of their party. Gwion himself is a founding member of the Congress for Democratic Change, the central contingent party of the ruling establishment, and ran for the same office in 2017 as its candidate but was pushed aside in the by-election in the absence of a primary vote.
