GBARNGA — Concerns are growing over the condition of the Bong County Superintendent's Compound in Gbarnga, as overgrown grass and apparent maintenance challenges continue to affect the appearance of the government facility, which also houses offices used by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Residents and visitors have called for immediate attention to the compound, arguing that the facility should reflect the standards expected of a major government institution serving both county and national functions.

The Superintendent's Compound remains one of the most important public facilities in Bong County and serves as the official residence and workplace of Superintendent Loleyah Hawa Norris, who moved into the facility in late 2025.

Citizens say the compound's current condition does not project the image of a government institution and have urged county authorities to prioritize its upkeep.

They noted that regular maintenance of public facilities is essential to preserving government property and maintaining a welcoming environment for official activities and public engagements.

Some residents further emphasized that, because the facility is also used by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, efforts should be made to ensure the compound remains clean, presentable, and properly maintained at all times.

The concerns come amid ongoing national discussions about maintaining public infrastructure and the need for government institutions to lead by example in preserving public assets.
