Bong County Technical College (BCTC) Vice President for Administration, James Saybay, preached of giving the county a ‘rowdy season.’
Saybay made the promised in a wild radio rant over the weekend in Gbarnga.
To this development, residents are of the opinions that the political atmosphere in the county has been rattled.
This followed an alarming outburst by Mr. Saybay when he appeared on Radio Gbarnga evening program promising to turn the county noisy anytime soon.
Instead of discussing education or issues affecting the county, Saybay reportedly used the platform, and verbally attacked District #3 Representative Marvin Cole.
He later bragged about creating chaos in the county anytime during the festive season.
In response to the disturbing broadcast, Chris Kolleh, a prominent resident, strongly condemned Saybay’s conduct, describing it as the worst form of public behavior ever displayed by a county official.
Kolleh believes Saybay’s verbal assault and threats to stir unrest represent a complete collapse of professionalism and integrity within the BCTC administration.
Kolleh said, Saybay’s choice to use mental health insults, and provocative language on a public radio platform, “is not only reckless, but deeply embarrassed the entire county.”
“Such behavior from a senior in academia is disgraceful, dangerous, and entirely unacceptable, especially at an institution expected to promote discipline and academic excellence.”
Kolleh argued that an official of Saybay’s rank should focus on how to improve the college, secure funding and shape the future of students; not turning radio shows into battlegrounds for personal vendettas.
Saybay’s threats to disrupt the peace, in Kolleh’s view, expose a man driven by personal grudges, rather than service or development.
He believes Saybay’s warlike outburst undermined the dignity of BCTC, and the reputation of the county by promoting confusion, instead of progress and being peaceful.
“The behavior is immature, irresponsible, and unbefitting of anyone occupying a leadership role in the county.”
Kolleh has meanwhile, called on the BCTC Board, civil society organizations, and well-meaning citizens to distance themselves from Saybay’s ‘toxic conduct.’
He maintains that the people of Bong County deserve leaders who foster unity, respect, and development not individuals who misuse public platforms to provoke instability.
He insists that such reckless behavior should not be tolerated, and the county must reject actions that threaten its peace and progress.
