Present and Former Officials of Government;

The Clergy; Members of the Press, Special Guests;

Fellow Citizens; Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen;

We must again give praise and thanks to the Almighty God for his guidance and protection of

our lives and our beloved District and its people. We have closed for the Annual Break,

completing the 4th Sitting of the 53rd National Legislature. It is with pleasure to embark on

holding talks with our respective constituents,. In memory of all those who departed this

world before, during and after the entire Ebola crisis in Liberia,. I ask you all to kindly join

me in a moment of silent in memory of all of our departed constituents, may their soul rest in

peace. Thank You…………

Approximately nine (9 ) months ago Fellow Citizens, , we gathered to observe my Session’s

4th Sitting Annual Report. During that ceremony, we called upon the citizenry to be patriotic,

to put District#9 first and to defend the tenets of democracy that are vital to our prosperity.

Thank you all so much for your unflinching supporting and cooperation. We have once again

gathered, in compliance with best practice; to deliver on an Annual Report for 2015. This

report that you have contain my full operational report and a detail itemize data on the status

of my Legislative duties and Personal initiative within the District, on the Progress made and

the challenges faced during the past nine (9) months.

Mr. Chairman and Citizens of District#9; I am please to report to you all, that with the

collaborative efforts, I am receiving on a daily basis District#9 is now on the fine line of

developmental prosperity.



We have laid a strong foundation through establishing friendship with eminent citizens and

foreign partners who have started assisting us in our developmental drive, taking into

consideration the district developmental challenges. Before moving further into this report I

will like to re-echo to all of you that there are many challenges facing the district and they are

as follows: The lack of public toilets, safe drinking waters, poor hygienic environment,

lack of bridges in some major communities’ routes, poor drainages system, lack of

electricity in some parts of the District, lack of community meeting points (Palava Hut),

high rate of unemployment, high rate of high school drop outs due to no income, the

lack of recreational centers and a District #9 administrative office (our own building).

Going beyond that which is required by law, I have vow to sincerely work with all citizens

and inhabitants of District#9 who will make their self available in our quest of bringing

development to our district in meeting these challenges. I will also endeavor to ensure that I

am accessible and accountable to my beloved citizenry by continuously keeping my District

and Capitol Building offices fully functional; just as it has been in time past.

My beloved Citizens, let me remind us that we are all part of something greater, something

more than individuals, community, parties or tribe. We all belong to one big family and that

family is District#9 and we are bound together by a common destiny. I usually say; there is no

community, no society, and no people in human history who have advanced only on the

actions of their leaders. Every successful group of people has attained that success because

each individual member played a role, made a contribution.

District#9 will only move forward on the bases of hard work of its citizens and residents, and

this is the true essence of patriotism, this is the love for our common patrimony, District#9.

As the Representative, I have done all I can to make this possible, and we have not done it

alone. These collaborative efforts are happening presently in District#9. The people, my

people, our people, you the Council Leaders, the Communities Leaders, and my fellow

Citizens, I thank you all for such a unique role play in advancing District#9 development

drive. I like to congratulate all citizens and residents of District#9 for your individual and



collective support; for your criticism and above all for the level of peace and sanity that we

are enjoying. Let me express the hope that we can continue to make tremendous progress

together in consolidating the sanity, advancing our development agenda and bringing

prosperity to our people. The strength of District#9 democratic process will be measured by

the coordination and support we give to each other. Mr. Chairman and Officials of the District

Development Council, Communities Leaders, some of you have been steadfast and

dependable partners in our quest to serve our people. Thank you for your invaluable services

to the district. To all those who serve at the level of the District Anti-Ebola Task Force

headed by the community chairman of Old Matadi Estate Mr. Kemoh Sheriff we want to in

this public manner say thanks for your service to humanity. Thanks for protecting your

communities and the entire district. May God continue to blessed the work of your hands. We

will officially honor all of our Ebola Heroes and Sheroes in our district on Saturday January

2, 2016.

While you read this report it will provide clarity on the work that has been done at the House

of Representatives, issues that are unfolding/unfolded within our district, progress made in

meeting the challenges of the district and a sense of our future direction. I want you to read

carefully, be objective and realistic in analyzing the work done thus far; we look forward to

your comments and suggestions to enable us to become more productive and competitive.

Mr. Chairman and Officials of District#9 Development Council, Communities Leaders,

Youths as well as Student Organizations, my office will continue to work closely with all of

you in promoting the good image of District#9 , thereby endeavoring to make our district

second to none in Montserrado County and by extension the Republic of Liberia.

REASONS FOR NOT SUPPORTING THESE ACTS:

Hon. Pelham-Youngblood, could not support the closure of some state owned enterprise like LPMC and others because the documents and logic in convincing her were not strong enough and the drawdown process was still not clear. There were many questions that needed answers that were not included in the essence for giving her support to dissolving them. She also could not concur in amending the executive law to have the portion of Social Welfare taken from the Ministry of Health to the Ministry of Gender because Social Welfare are often health related and the Ministry of Gender is not even functioning as per its mandate it is the Ministry of Gender for both sexes but it is seen as the Ministry for Women and a lot is yet to be done to better the lives of women. Now adding Children Protection when they cannot even protect both genders so Hon. Pelham-Youngblood did not support these amendments.

Finally the passage of this year's national budget was not supported by Hon. Pelham-Youngblood on grounds that the budget needed to be brought to plenary the committee carryout their presentation and opens for discussion but on the contrary and at that point the honorable needed to ask some important questions relating to health, education and security but that chance to debate the budget was not given. Even prior letter to the Speaker recommending increment in the Health, Education, FLY, People Living with Disability and the Security Sector was not acknowledged. Meaning it did not even appear on the agenda by the presiding officer. On this note it was a no to its passage.

MOTION MADE IN SESSION Prominent among the numerous motions which Hon. Pelham-Youngblood proffer and consequently receive majority endorsements are as follows:



1. An Act to Create Sinoe Community College in Sinoe County. 2. The Motion to invite the Minister of Information Culture & Tourism to Appear before the

Honorable House of Representative to give reasons why he choose to render insult on that August Body.

LEFT OPEN INTENTIONALLY3. The Motion to invite the then Minister of Education to Explain Measures put in place relative

to the Reopening of Schools after the Ebola Crisis.4. The Motion to endorse the Letter and Mandated the Committee on Gender, Health and

She said over 231 newly trained and employed immigration officers have not being pay for the past 6 months. Which she believes is a recipe for poor law-enforcement at our entry point. Also to have this number of persons working without pay they can easily comprise the ethics of the bureau.

Outcome : As a result of our effective oversight the Minister and her team were invited to the capitol by the Committee on Transport and after said meeting the findings were presented to plenary and today we are still managing the 1year motor registration process of which our already struggling masses cannot still afford. They had to go back to previous protocol.

13.) On September 2, 2015 Hon Pelham-Youngblood wrote bringing the attention of the August Body that the management of Airlines and Travel Agency in our country is overly charging the citizens of Liberia for no justifiable reasons and it is very unfair. She said day ago she had to purchase a one way ticket from Monrovia to Accra at the rate of $1,350USD from Kenya Airways which is over 100% increment and it is too high. Such pricing is affecting our already suffering business peoples and as such it has become a great worry for me and our already poverty stricken citizenry. Because it we don't intervene now we will soon have things prices running up. Please note international fuel price is still the same no hack in price so why are they ill-treating the Liberian People. She said , Mr. Speaker & Distinguished Colleagues , you will agree with me that even if there is a need for increment 100% increment is totally unfair, unethical and unacceptable. She also pray on the indulgence of the Honorable body to please see reason to mandate the Committee on Transport and Commerce to meet with the Minister of Transport , the Director of the Liberia Civil Aviation Authority including the Minister of Commerce to look into this matter and advice plenary. OUTCOME: That matter was speedily handled as it was also the concern of the ministry of Transport so when contacted by the Honorable House it was an added power to address the situation. Today Ticket is now between $500 to 700USD.

14.) On September 15, 2015 She and Hon. Acaous M. Gray of District 8 Montserrado County, wrote a letter bringing the attention of the August body the situation of a massive flood that taken over some parts of the Country due to the heavy down pull of rain some weeks ago. This disaster has left over thousands of dollars properties destroyed and brought thousands of our already suffering and poverty stricken citizenry within and around Montserrado County homeless. They solicited the indulgence of the Honorable House to work along with the Executive Branch in considering this flood situation, not only a National Disaster but to treat it as a National Emergency Situation that needs our prompt and timely intervention in providing relief supply for our people .OUTCOME: This outcome is a complete disappointment. Because we were from the opposition political party the state decided to denial her people of supply just because opposition lawmaker raised the issue till today nothing has being done but instead the state now have more money to facility



the process to making our people that were affected by the flood to now be homeless. What a shame.

Hon Pelham-Youngblood Challenges

The Lack of Findings to carry out the District operation ( No Operational budget) From National Government. Every Money spend is from the Honorable personal income.

The Demand on the Representative's personal income.



The lack of self education from some of my constituents .

The Misconception of the Job as a Representative....not understanding the role and function of their LawmakerHigh Expectation by some of the constituents.

The lack of committed teachers in helping to run and administer the affairs of the Vocational school that I got accredited by Government to run in order to help the young people of the district.

Hon Pelham-Youngblood Prospect

I wish that the Liberia Electricity Corporation can perform her statutory duty in fully electrifying our entire District before the end of 2014.

I also wish that the Ministry of Public Works can perform her statutory duty in solving the major damage roads problems, poor Drainage system and the construction of modern bridges in our entire District before the end of 2015.

I wish that the Government through her PRS will provide Jobs for the Unemployed youths and Adults in the district. I wish I can be of great help to this prospect.

I wish that the vocational and technical capacity of our people can be developed through a long range human development program.

I wish that these multi-million dollars companies in our district can employed over 10,000 unemployed skill persons in our district and where i can also encourage possible investor to visit Liberia.

Ladies and Gentlemen My activities.
