In fulfillment of his campaign promises, Bong County District #7 Representative Foday E. Fahnbulleh on Sunday donated 33 brand-new TVS motorbikes to youths in the district. The donation ceremony, held in Bong Mines, was marked by jubilation and applause from the community.
The motorbikes were given free of charge, with no financial obligations imposed on the recipients. Representative Fahnbulleh emphasized that the initiative was aimed at empowering the youth, fostering economic independence, and improving transportation within the district.
“These bikes will strengthen the youth of the district and better enable them to support themselves while improving transportation for our people,” Fahnbulleh remarked during the event.
Motorbikes are a vital mode of transportation across Liberia, especially in rural areas like Fuamah and Sanoyea districts. Their affordability and versatility make them essential for mobility and economic activities in underserved regions.
“I take my campaign promises very seriously, and I want to thank the youth of this district for what they did in supporting me during the elections,” Fahnbulleh told the energized crowd. “This is my way of saying thank you to all of you.”
Later, the lawmaker took to Facebook to reiterate his commitment to youth empowerment.
“Today, I took a significant step in fulfilling my campaign promises to the motorcycling community,” he wrote. “In an effort to support and empower the youth in District #7 (Fuamah and Sanoyea), I provided thirty motorbikes to help them pursue opportunities for entrepreneurship and mobility. By equipping them with these motorbikes, I hope to encourage independence and foster a spirit of innovation among the youth in our community. Free! Free!! Free!!! FOF.”
Junior Kayakollie, head of the concerned motorcyclists in the district, expressed heartfelt gratitude to Fahnbulleh during the ceremony. “Today, we want to thank our lawmaker because others have used us and abandoned us once they won,” Kayakollie said. “We are overjoyed because what you have done for us, no other person has done. You are our honorable for life.”
Alfred Cephas, a beneficiary, echoed similar sentiments on Facebook. “Thank you so much, Hon. Fahnbulleh. The people of District #7 are proud of you. Giving thirty bikes away with no cost attached is not something easy to do. God is going to definitely pay you back.”
On Saturday, the Haindii United Women honored Representative Fahnbulleh for what they described as his “excellent leadership” in 2024. The women’s group commended him for his transparency, integrity, and dedication to the district’s development.
“Foday Fahnbulleh is young, humble, and a leader who embodies the principles of good governance,” the group stated. They specifically praised his ability to address longstanding community issues, hold powerful corporations accountable, and deliver on promises that directly impact the lives of his constituents.
