West Coast Region deputy governor Musa Amul Nyassi shut down rumors that three village heads from Foni Bintang got their official stamps yanked because they skipped President Barrow's tour stop. The alkalolu from Kaimo, Bantending, and Sitta villages lost their stamps after repeatedly blowing off district chief summons, and Nyassi said dodging leadership meetings undermines the whole chain of command.
Regional authorities scheduled a meeting where the affected alkalolu need to prove they actually showed up to previous gatherings or face potential legal heat. First-time offenders who admit they messed up get forgiveness, but Nyassi made clear that ignoring the district chief cannot slide. He stressed that nobody forces village leaders to attend presidential events, and those gatherings should just be chances to raise community problems.
