Maryland County District Two Representatives, Dr. Bhofal Chambers has received several petitions from across the county to contest the 2014 as Senatorial candidate.

According to the citizens at different town hall meetings covering the electoral districts, since the 2005 General and Presidential Elections, the illustrious son of Maryland County has been vigorous in his advocacy for the rights of the citizens in general despite his election to represent the Pleebo Sodoken District.

The citizens through the chief, elders, zoes and bodios noted that the consistent fight of Dr. Chambers for dignity and international best practice in the labor sector has come a long way in the struggle for socio-economic, political and cultural justice in Maryland County .

They further pointed out that such role has earned a place in the hearts and as such he deserves a Senatorial portfolio to acquire the full mandate of the people.

Dr. Chambers receiving the petitions vowed to restore the dignity to the labor sector of Maryland County.

The astute Lawmaker asserted that the mass dismissal of Marylanders by SIFCA is unlawful and promised to confront the relevant authority to reverse that decision.

The CDC Partisan maintained that it takes the collective effort of Marylanders to address the inadequacies in the county .

According to Rep. Chambers, his fight for socio-economic, political and cultural justice is a direct mandate to represent his people , arguing that it is the fundamental rights of the people of Maryland especially the Pleebo Sodoken District to derive maximum benefit from the corporate social responsibility of any investment (including SCIFA) in the county.

Lamenting further, the Lawmaker said his people deserved economic justice and mutual respect and therefore considered this time proper for the people of the district to have the rights to employment without discrimination under just and humane conditions, among others.

It can be recalled that SIFCA as the parent corporation for Maryland Oil Palm Plantation (MOPP) and Cavalla Rubber Corporation (CRC) dismissed over 1000 contractors without benefits and also replaced some profile Marylanders with Nigerians and Ivoirians nationals.

This action on the part of management, the lawmaker said undermines the liberianization, poverty reduction policies and denigrates the locales.

As part of his responsibilities, during his Constituency Break, Dr. Chambers organized a special town hall meeting in Sedeken, the District seat between the citizens and the Management of SIFCA inorder to derive a way forward for peaceful co-existence and mutual benefit sharing as required by the corporate social responsibility, but to no avail, as the company without deference to the office of the direct representative of the people, refused to attend said meeting.

Economic pundits described the works of SIFCA in Maryland County as an absolute practice of monopoly with flagrant violation of capitalist economic concept. By this, SIFCA is the sole provider of employment opportunities with the subsidiary corporations which include MOPP and CRC respectively.

According to pundits, this practice undermines the concept of free enterprise system and the general fight against poverty and other form of societal ills. Pundits argued further that there is a need as a result of this full disclosure by the people direct representative to re-visit the concession to provide for a competitive investment program to benefit the entire county and not a selected few.
