Moses Binda, a resident of Yeaquelleah District, has accused lawmaker Eugene J.M. Kollie of allegedly stealing US$30,000 allocated to the district during the recent County Council Sitting.
Binda said, the funds were intended for vital community developments, but have never reached the people.
He described the allocation as a betrayal of the residents, claiming that roads remain impassable, schools are neglected with no projects. have been initiated despite the large sum intended for the district.
Binda said Rep. Kollie’s actions are part of a troubling pattern of alleged mismanagement and corruption in the county, where public funds are repeatedly diverted, while communities continue to suffer.
He meanwhile, warned that such actions whether intentional or through negligence represent a complete betrayal of public trust.
Binda called for a full investigation, urging the County Legislative Caucus, the Anti-Corruption Commission, and other relevant authorities to audit all district funds and hold those found culpable responsible accountable.
Binda said residents of Yeaquelleah will continue to demand transparency and tangible results.
“This is not just about missing money, but a test of leadership, integrity, and the willingness of public officials to serve the people rather than looking after themselves, and members of the immediate families.
In response to the allegation, Rep. Kollie clarified that the district received the US$30,000, and that he had discussions with Senator Prince Moye regarding the construction of an auditorium at the David Fejue High School.
While this explanation provides context for the allocation, Binda and many residents insist that no visible progress has been made, and the community remains deeply skeptical about how the funds are being used.
