Statement by Senator Simeon B. Taylor

As Senator of Grand Cape Mount County, my foremost duty remains to represent and safeguard the interests of our people. In doing so, I am equally mindful of our obligation to uphold the laws of the Republic and to respect the binding agreements that govern the operations of Bea Mountain Mining Corporation. At the same time, it is essential that the company continues to fully honor its obligations, particularly those that directly affect the welfare and development of our communities.

Looking ahead, there is a clear opportunity to strengthen the existing framework. While a formal review of the agreement is anticipated in 2028, I encourage the Government to commence this process now. Early and deliberate engagement will ensure that the concerns, expectations, and aspirations of our people are adequately reflected in any future arrangements.

On social infrastructure, I will continue to advocate for the establishment of a modern, well-equipped hospital within the concession area. One that is accessible and responsive to the needs of our people. While existing provisions address healthcare, the scale and impact of current operations justify a more transformative investment in this critical sector. I remain committed to constructive engagement with all stakeholders to advance this objective.

As we pursue these priorities, we must remain firmly guided by the rule of law. Our advocacy must be peaceful, organized, and responsible. We must not encourage actions that undermine stability or jeopardize the very benefits we seek to protect. Encouragingly, our collective efforts are beginning to yield tangible results. By the end of this year, we anticipate that our communities will receive direct dividend payments in the millions of dollars benefits that must be safeguarded through lawful and orderly conduct. The more stable and productive the operations, the greater the potential returns to our people.

I call on all Cape Mountaineers, especially those in the host communities of Bea Mountain Mining Corporation, and the people of Liberia at large to remain calm and act in accordance with the law. Be assured that we, as leaders, are doing everything possible in the best interest of our people and the country.

Our sustained engagement, including structured and responsible advocacy, has already contributed to meaningful progress. Communities are beginning to see direct benefits, local businesses are gaining opportunities, and initiatives such as the Clan Fund are taking shape. We will continue to work collaboratively, responsibly, and in the best interest of our people to ensure that these gains are not only preserved but expanded.

We are pleased to announce that Senator Simeon B. Taylor has donated L$1,000,000 (One Million Liberian Dollars) to the hardworking women of Porkpa District, Bamballa Town, to be specific, as part of his continued commitment to women empowerment and community development.

This initiative is aimed at supporting women in strengthening their livelihoods, promoting small businesses, and enhancing economic independence across the district. The attached photos capture moments from the distribution process, where women gathered and actively participated in receiving and organizing the funds for impactful use within their communities.

Senator Taylor remains dedicated to uplifting the people of Grand Cape Mount County and will continue to prioritize programs that bring real change to the lives of our citizens.

No room for distraction; we are on speed!

The Office of Senator Taylor wishes to provide clarity on the circumstances surrounding his absence from the just ended Gbassa Jama-Festival in Robertsport.

It is true that from the very beginning, Senator Taylor demonstrated goodwill and respect for the people and the cultural significance of the event (The Gbassa Jama FEST). This is evident in the widely circulated flyer bearing his image, confirming his initial decision and genuine intention to have attended and celebrated with his people.

However, it is deeply concerning that despite this willingness, the basic courtesy of a formal and respectful invitation befitting a senior senator of county was not properly extended. For an event of such importance, this was not just an oversight on the part of the organizers, but a disregard for the office he holds and, by extension, the people he represents. Faced with this situation, the Senator was left with a difficult but ethical decision.

Let’s be cognizant that effective Leadership encompasses preservation of dignity, respect, and the integrity of public office. Sen. Taylor’s decision to step back was not out of disregard for the people, but out of respect for the values that guide responsible leadership.
Importantly, it’s worth noting that the senator did not turn his back on his people. Instead, he honored another engagement in Porkpa, where he was warmly welcomed, respected, and given the opportunity to interact meaningfully with citizens who value his presence and leadership.

It is therefore unfortunate that some have rushed to criticize without fully understanding what transpired behind the scenes. The real issue is not the Senator’s absence, but the circumstances that made his presence unjustifiable.

Our leaders deserve respect!

Senator Taylor remains fully committed to serving his people; always with dignity, and always with respect that must be reciprocated.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE OFFICE OF SENATOR SIMEON B. TAYLOR

It has come to our attention that certain media outlets and social media posts have circulated a story claiming: “Senator Simeon Taylor Summoned by Monrovia Court in Property Dispute.” We categorically declare that this narrative is entirely false, misleading, and malicious. This is a fabrication from the belly of the devil, aimed at tarnishing the reputation of a respected lawmaker.

No writ, summons, or court notice has ever been issued to Senator Simeon B. Taylor in connection with any property dispute or any legal matter as alleged. Senator Taylor is a law-abiding citizen and public official. He has always respected legal processes and would never resist a court writ, invitation, or official conference for any reason.

The suggestion that he is evading justice is completely false. The story’s claims that he and occupants under his authority owe rent or are involved in a property dispute are unfounded and fabricated. We strongly warn all news carriers, online platforms, and social media users to desist from reporting unverified stories that can damage the reputation of public figures, as such is both unethical and irresponsible. Verify facts before publishing or sharing information.

The Office of Senator Simeon B. Taylor takes seriously the spread of these false and damaging claims and holds those responsible fully accountable. The office reserves the right to take appropriate legal and corrective measures against individuals or entities that deliberately circulate malicious misinformation.
We therefore call on members of the public and the media to disregard this misleading narrative and rely only on accurate and verified information issued through official channels of Senator Taylor’s office. Senator Taylor remains steadfast in his commitment to serve with integrity, transparency, and full respect for the rule of law.

I have taken keen note of pronouncement made by President Joseph Nyumah Boakai during his yesterday’s SONA that Bea Mountain Mining Company (BMMC) intends to establish football academies in B**g and Montserrado Counties, while Grand Cape Mount County, where BMMC operates as a concession company and from which it derives enormous profits from mineral extraction has not benefited from such an initiative.

Let me state clearly and unequivocally that this development is unacceptable. Grand Cape Mount County has hosted BMMC for years, bearing the social, environmental, and economic impacts of its operations. It is therefore only fair, just, and responsible that any major social development initiative, particularly one aimed at youth empowerment such as a football academy, first be implemented in Grand Cape Mount County before being extended elsewhere.

I hereby warn Bea Mountain Mining Company against proceeding with the establishment of football academies in other counties without first establishing at least one fully functional football academy in Grand Cape Mount County. Doing otherwise will be viewed as a clear disregard for the county that has contributed immensely to the company’s profitability.
As Senator of Grand Cape Mount County, I stand firmly with the people, and similarly object to any plan or action by BMMC that sidelines our county in matters of development and social investment. I have begun engaging all relevant national authorities to ensure that the rights and interests of our people are protected.

To the citizens of Grand Cape Mount County, I urge you to remain calm, peaceful, and law-abiding. Your concerns are legitimate, and I assure you that I am fully committed to providing the representation you deserve. This matter is being addressed at the appropriate levels, and your voices will not be ignored.

Our county deserves fairness.�Our youth deserve opportunity.�And our people deserve respect.
