BARCLAYVILLE, Grand Kru County – July 28 ( Grand Kru TV)-Prominent Grand Kru son and senatorial aspirant John B. Chea has donated L$1 million to the Barclayville General Market Association in response to repeated appeals from local marketers for financial and infrastructure support.
The presentation ceremony was held on Tuesday, July 28, 2026 at the Barclayville General Market, and was attended by market leaders, local officials, marketers, and community members.
Presenting the donation on behalf of Mr. Chea, Theophilus Gipply said the contribution fulfills a commitment made after Mr. Chea met with marketers and listened to their concerns.
He clarified that the money is not a loan, contrary to rumors circulating in the community, but a direct contribution intended to support projects identified and agreed upon by the marketers themselves.
The L$1 million was formally presented to Mrs. Fanta Kollie, Superintendent of the Barclayville General Market, who received the funds on behalf of the association.
Speaking during the program, Madam Kollie expressed profound gratitude to Mr. Chea for responding to the needs of the marketers. She pledged that the money would be managed transparently and used for projects that will improve conditions at the market and benefit all vendors.
Several marketers also commended Mr. Chea for his continued commitment to the development of Grand Kru County. They cited his previous support, including the construction of a cold storage facility in Barclayville, which has improved access to frozen chicken, fish, and other perishable goods for residents and local businesses.
The marketers expressed hope that the latest donation will help address some of the market’s pressing infrastructure needs and further strengthen trading activities in Barclayville.
