Liberia: Nimba County Superintendent rescues Dr. Korto from death
Oct 26, 2009

Prince Johnson in action
The Superintendent of Nimba County over the weekend rescued Education Minister Dr. Joseph Korto from being heavily strike to death by Nimba County Senior Senator Prince Johnson in Ganta Nimba County.
The confusion ensued when cross section of Nimba citizens converged at the commercial capital of Nimba County to discuss their social development fund given them by Mittal Steal. Some citizens of the county including students and marketers have consistently complained over the poor handling of the money by authorities of the county including the county Legislative caucus.
The meeting started with diverse views coming from opinion leaders and prominent citizens of the county on how the money was managed and the way forward. Early, several committees were established headed by Ministers Eugene Shannoh and Ambolia Johnson of the Ministries of Land, Mines and Energy and Internal Affairs to target and implement projects of Nimba development funds but such project, according to cross section of the greater population in Nimba County is yet to be seen.
Another side of the story surrounding the project targeted for the development funds in the county revealed that a decision was reached to purchase a road machine to enhance the rehabilitation of damaged roads in the county.
The gathering came at a stand still when Education Minister Dr. Joseph Korto, who is also a prominent citizen of the county, took over the podium to address the citizens over his thinking of the management of the county and the social development funds. Dr. Korto who was straight forward in his speech blasted the Nimba County Legislative caucus for failure to properly handle affairs of the county in a more responsible manner. He brands the entire caucus as irresponsible, visionless and inactive in the running of the county.
The over thirty minute statement delivered by Dr. Korto aggravated the Chairman of the Nimba County Legislative caucus, Senator Prince Johnson who walked from his seat onto the platform to quiet Dr. Korto in whatever means possible at his disposal. It was through the tactical and timely intervention of Nimba County Superintendent Edith Gonglo Weh who smartly stopped Senator Johnson from reaching close to Dr. Korto. The meeting was later disrupted and unceremoniously stopped as the result of Senator Johnson attempt to quiet Dr. Korto at all means. The action of Senator Johnson was later responded with boos from the participants at the meeting which according to Senator Johnson, was masterminded by Dr. Joseph Korto.
Senator Prince Johnson is a former rebel leader who is widely known in Liberia for notoriously killing civilians. He also killed former Liberian President Samuel K. Doe during the civil war of Liberia. His action at some point cannot be taken lightly because his decision to kill is very fast. According to those who lived under his control territory during the war era, Senator Johnson kills and regret in a moment.
