MONROVIA- In an escalating political feud, Senator Prince Moye of Bong County has publicly lambasted CMC Political Leader and Representative of Nimba County District #7, Musa Hassan Bility, accusing him of misusing funds earmarked for the development of Bong County. The senator’s critique highlights growing concerns regarding transparency and accountability in political dealings within the region.
In a recent statement, Sen. Moye called out Rep. Bility for what he described as political manipulation, particularly referencing an incident from the 2016 election cycle. He alleged that Bility, during his support for Charles Brumskine’s campaign, “brought 50 pickups,” suggesting that the campaign focused on material contributions rather than substantive electoral strategy.
Bility has also been accused of working to diminish Alexander Cummings’ vote count in the 2023 elections, raising questions about his influence on local political dynamics. The senator’s remarks came amid ongoing discussions surrounding the allocation of funds meant for community development via China Union’s social development commitments.
Appearing as a guest on the Monday edition of the Super Morning Show on ELBC, Sen. Moye claimed that Rep. Bility has indirectly benefited from US$10 million that was supposed to support community projects in Bong County. He suggested that recent contributions made by Bility to local communities might be an attempt to return a portion of those funds, although no evidence has been produced to substantiate these allegations.
“It’s essential for Bong County to benefit fully from any funds that are allocated, and we cannot allow the diversion of resources meant for our development,” Sen. Moye emphasized, outlining his vision for the county’s infrastructure. He announced plans to formally request that Rep. Bility finance the construction of five additional bridges, underscoring the necessity of improved infrastructure for local growth and access.
The political landscape in Bong County has become increasingly fractious, with leaders grappling over issues of accountability and appropriate use of resources. This latest exchange between Sen. Moye and Rep. Bility is emblematic of the mounting tension as both officials vie for influence in the lead-up to future elections. As of now, Rep. Musa Bility has not publicly addressed Sen. Moye’s allegations. The claims made by the senator remain unverified, and it is uncertain if a formal complaint or investigation will arise from this public dispute. The situation continues to unfold, casting a shadow over the political climate in Bong County as residents and officials alike call for greater transparency and effective governance in the face of ongoing developmental challenges.
