In a radio interview on Voice of Bong in Gbarnga via phone, Rep. Kogar said the citizens should lay the blame on their own son, Vice President Jeremiah Kpan Koung, for appointing individuals who supported and also close to him.
Kogar made this statement in response to criticism from some Nimba citizens who accused President Boakai of neglecting their County after voting hugely in the 2023 general elections that brought the Unity Party government to power.
Kogar pointed out that it is the responsibility of the vice president to ensure that citizens from his county are fairly represented in the government.
He argued that Vice President Kung should have used his influence and position to appoint competent individuals from Nimba County instead of only appointing his close associates.
The representative also emphasized the need for Nimba citizens to work together and support each other instead of always looking to the government for jobs and appointments.
He urged them to focus on building their own skills and talents so that they can compete for top positions in the government.
Kogar also reminded his fellow citizens that President Boakai was not obligated to appoint people from their county, as he is the president of the entire country and must consider the best interests of all citizens when making appointments.
His remarks have sparked mixed reactions from the citizens of Nimba County, with some agreeing with his sentiments while others believe that President Boakai should still be held accountable for not appointing enough people from their county.
Representative Kogar highlights the importance of unity and self-empowerment among citizens, as well as the role of the vice president in ensuring fair representation of their county in the government.
