Montserrado County District #2 Representative Sekou Sarafoday Kanneh has outlined a series of legislative achievements and community development initiatives undertaken during 2025, highlighting progress in education, road rehabilitation, healthcare, disaster response, and scholarship opportunities.
In his Annual Legislative Report, Kanneh said the document was intended to keep residents informed about his activities in the Legislature and the work carried out on behalf of the district.
“This Annual Legislative Report is presented in fulfillment of our obligation to account for my stewardship over the course of the year under review (2025),” Kanneh said. “It reflects my commitment to transparency, accountability, and continuous engagement with my constituents.”
One of the key achievements highlighted in the report is the passage by the House of Representatives of a bill seeking to elevate the Monrovia Vocational and Technical College (MVTC) to an associate degree-granting institution. The bill was passed on July 16, 2025, and is now awaiting concurrence from the Liberian Senate.
Kanneh also pointed to his role in the passage of Liberia’s 2026 National Budget, which he said contains funding for development projects expected to benefit District #2, including road improvements and education programs.
Road rehabilitation featured prominently in the report. According to the lawmaker, rehabilitation works were carried out on several roads across the district, including those in New Life Community, Karn-Karn Town, St. Francis, Boakai Village, Lorma Quarter and Peace Island. He also disclosed ongoing engagements with the Ministry of Public Works regarding the completion of the Nicklay Town–Rehab Road project.
Education remains one of the major priorities of his office, Kanneh said. He highlighted efforts to revive construction of the proposed Jacob Town Public School, a project that had remained stalled for several years.
The report stated that US$37,000 was secured through the national budget to restart work on the school, while an additional US$26,000 was later provided through personal contributions and support from business partners to continue construction.
“It’s imperative to state that this public school will be completed shortly, by God’s grace,” the report quoted the lawmaker as saying.
Additional support was also provided to Johnsonville Public School, Zapai Memorial Public School and Oluremi Tinubu Public School for infrastructure improvements and educational materials.
The lawmaker further reported that his office launched both local and international scholarship programs. According to the report, more than L$5.4 million and US$2,420 were committed as tuition assistance for 226 students attending 97 schools.
Kanneh said the international scholarship initiative has already produced results, with one beneficiary, Josephine Faith Clinton, traveling to India in January 2026 to pursue undergraduate studies.
In the health sector, the report highlighted sanitation campaigns, support to health facilities, and efforts to attract foreign medical specialists to Liberia. Kanneh disclosed that discussions with a group of Indian doctors in 2025 could lead to specialized medical services being provided in the district and other parts of the country.
The report also detailed interventions following several fire and flood disasters that affected communities in District #2. According to Kanneh, his office provided cash donations, food supplies and other relief assistance while coordinating with government agencies to support affected families.
While acknowledging that challenges remain, the District #2 lawmaker said the report provides residents with an opportunity to assess his performance and participate in shaping future priorities.
“This report is not presented as a declaration of perfection, but as an honest account of progress made, lessons learned, and priorities ahead,” he said.
Kanneh called on residents to continue providing feedback and working with his office to advance development initiatives across the district.
