Monrovia - A group of citizens from Grand Gedeh County, one of the 15 counties in Liberia, staged a protest at the Capital Building against President Joseph Boakai’s appointment of Hon. Alex C Grant as the Superintendent of the county. The group, calling themselves the Concerned Citizens of Grand Gedeh County, voiced strong objections to the appointment and urged the president to reconsider his decision.

The Concerned Citizens claimed that Hon. Alex Grant was unfit for such a critical position, citing various reasons that cast doubt on his credentials and integrity. Among the allegations made by the group were the acquisition of a fake degree from Nigeria, and the expulsion from both the University of Liberia and Cuttington University, two of the leading institutions of higher education in the country.

Mr. Kai Gee, the Media Coordinator for the group, highlighted these concerns during the protest, stating that Alex Grant lacked the moral standing to hold such an honorable position. He said that if President Boakai truly cared for Liberia’s future, he would remove Hon. Alex Grant from the post of Grand Gedeh County Superintendent.

Mr. Nelson Goah, a prominent figure from Grand Gedeh County, also joined the protest and accused Hon. Alex Grant of achieving nothing for his district and the county as a whole. He also alleged that Grant was involved in the mysterious disappearance of former NEC’s Magistrate Alfred Dunner, a claim that has not been verified.

The Concerned Citizens vowed to continue their protests until their demands were met, asserting that the appointment of Alex Grant did not serve the best interests of Grand Gedeh County. They warned that if President Boakai ignored their plea, they would intensify their demonstrations, posing a potential challenge to the newly elected government.

As Grand Gedeh County finds itself in the midst of this controversy, the nation awaits President Boakai’s response to the citizens’ concerns, as the fate of Hon. Alex Grant remains uncertain.
