Barclayville, Grand Kru County – The Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) candidate for electoral District #1 of Grand Kru County is telling the county’s registered voters who are on ‘buy-my-vote-now-before-the election-day bargain’ that she’s willing to meet their demand, but on a different barter system. Madam Ylatun, 47, had said this several times in the past, beginning first with her interview with Grand Kru County’s only Community Radio Station—Voice of Grand Kru—in June. The station had repeatedly played the recording over two months, since the interview to the annoyance of the CDC’s candidate. Each project was made possible, she admitted, through her lobbying power when she was Executive Director of the Grand Kru Women Development Association, an implementing partner for the Liberia Agency for Community Empowerment (LACE) in Grand Kru County; and, later, as County Coordinator of the Southeastern Women Development Association (SEWODA). Education gives me the confidence to come out; I want to inspire other women of Grand Kru to do same.”Madam Ylatun says Grand Kru County as a house isn’t in order, because there’s no woman with the County’s set of legislators in the current National Legislature.
