In Ganta, Nimba County, Vice President Jeremiah Koung used the solemn occasion of Senator Prince Yormie Johnson’s funeral to reflect on the legacy of the man who played a pivotal role in Liberia’s history. Amid a crowd grieving the loss of the prominent Nimba lawmaker, Koung sought to set the record straight on the late senator’s controversial past and his vision for the future.

The people of Nimba County are divided over the recent traditional ceremony involving Representative Samuel Kogar following the death of Senator Prince Yormie Johnson.
