Bong County - Esther Walker, who served as Gbarnga’s City Mayor from 2002-2005, has now been tapped as the next Superintendent of Bong County replacing Selena Polson-Mappy. Walker promised to ensure that social development funds coming to the county under her tenure would be used for its intended purpose. “We have a lot of unfinished projects in the county and under my leadership as superintendent I will make sure that these projects are completed,” she said. Before that, she served as aide to Vice President Jewel Howard Taylor, when she served as first lady. Walker has been a confidante of Howard-Taylor since 2005 when the vice president announced her candidacy for the senatorial seat.
