Montserrado County District # 8 Representative has submitted a proposal to plenary, suggesting measures that would eradicate nepotism in the public sector.

Hon. Acarious Gray put forward his idea through a proposed law entitled, "An Act Prohibiting Nepotism", during the first day sitting of the 2nd Session on Tuesday, January 15, 2013.

Hon. Gray's bill is in furtherance to Article 5 (c) of the 1986 Constitution which calls for the Republic to take steps by appropriating legislation to eliminate preferential treatment on jobs to family members in the same place of work.

President Sirleaf in 2012 established an administrative code of conduct which outlined measures against nepotism in the Executive Branch.

The proposed law to prohibit nepotism when passed by the legislature will have an effect on the Judicial, Legislative and Executive Branches.

The CDC Former Secretary General described nepotism as a virus that is consuming the life line of the country and where leaders take upon themselves to divide the country's resources amongst their families thereby, leaving the masses to live in abject poverty.

Rep. Acarous Gray said his foremost bill to Plenary of the House to abolish nepotism in government will be followed by three or more in the 2013 legislative season.

Prior to submitting the bill, the lawmaker had a press conference on Monday, where he asserted that the passage of the bill into law will immensely solidify the foundation of democracy and strengthen peace and reconciliation in the country.

As part of his legislative agenda, the Montserrado District # 8 Representative also named a Bill seeking to establish vocational and technical education in every primary school to ensure that students graduating from high schools will have the technical capacity to contribute to the reconstruction process of the country.

The CDC Lawmaker also intends to submit a Medicare Bill seeking to provide free medical services from public hospitals and clinics to children below the age of nine, pregnant women and prominent Liberian citizens from 65 years above and a bill to establish a National Maternity and Children Hospital in the country.

According to Hon. Acarous Gray, the establishment of a Maternity and Children Hospital will definitely help to reduce the high rate of infant mortality and the death of mothers in child birth.

Meanwhile the Montserrado County District # 8 Representative Acarous Moses Gray has rescued 77 students from two (2) public schools and four (4) private schools, as a way of helping parents or guidance who cannot afford their school fees amid the hike of tuition.

Presenting the cash of L$300,000 (in Liberian dollars) to the respective schools administrators, at the Capitol Building yesterday, the Montserrado County Lawmaker said the donation aimed from the backdrop as a former teacher of the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) on Camp Johnson as it relates to the 'struggle in getting schools fees' coupled with the unbelievable increase in tuition.

The former tough-talking Secretary General of the Mighty Congress of Democratic Change (CDC) gave L$40,000 to the William V.S. Tubman High School for financial assistance to 32 students for the 1st semester in the 2012/2013 academic-school-year and L$43,000 to the G.W. Gibson High for 21 students.

Each of the private school, were given diverse financial assistance to three (3) disable students and three (3) highest average students.

The Bishop Marweh High School got L$38,365; The Precious Jewelry Elementary School and Valentine Brown School while bagged L#52,000 and 21,000 respectively, while the Vision Christian School received 18,300 and the Rally Time Market School pocketed L$34,000.

Rep. Gray told the schools administrators of either giving them the second semester tuition or going to other schools. He urged the schools administrators to use the funds for the intended promise.

The former school teacher gave three (3) video-set to the Precious Jewelry Elementary School, the Vision Christian School and the Valentine Brown Elementary School to aid the teachers in their teaching process. He said the video should serve as 'visual aid teaching' for the kids to learn faster.

"It is good for the kids to be seeing what you are teaching, like triangle, square, amongst others, so I hope you use it for the intended purposed. The Rally Time Market School will receive theirs later," Rep. Gray opined.

He put the cost of the three video set and the pending one to L$100,000.

Mrs. Marie Moore, the registrar of the William V.S. Tubman High School, on behalf the schools administrators thanked Rep. Gray for the donation and promised to refund the deserved students who are already paid their tuition and include those who have never paid.

Madam Weadeh Nmah, 58, a mother of four children who were at the program, hailed Rep. Gray, who she called "their Honorable" and urged the administrators to remember her children at the G. W. Gibson High School
