A prominent citizen of Grand Bassa, Mr. Daniel Chea, has called for the holding of a county –wide unification confab aimed at uniting the people of the county.Like other Counties, Mr. Chea observed that the 14-year armed conflict brought division amongst the people of Grand Bassa as well created many problems for them ranging from social, political to economic.Mr. Chea said such conference would address several issues including the reasons why the people of the County are not speaking in one voice and why are they not forming one united front.
