Deputy Internal Affairs Minister for Administration, Mr. Jerry Gonyon has alleged that the Manos and Gios in the county are destroying properties belonging to Mandingoes.

He said the Gios and Manos are refusing to accept or welcome their Mandingoes brothers and sisters in the spirit of reconciliation and thereby diminishing their houses, and selling their land and other properties.

The Deputy Minister said their lands have been bought and active constituencies are taken place in a bid to stop the Mandingoes of returning and repossessing their seized properties.

Minister Gonyon further indicated that destruction of Mandingoes properties is currently going on in Kanplay, Ganta, Bahn and Sacleapea cities.

The Chief added that the Superintendent of the County, Mr. Harrison Kanwea is aware of the illegal breaking and selling of the Mandingoes properties.
