Several citizens hailing from Grand Gedeh and River Gee Counties have expressed deep regrets over the delay of the Government of Liberia to probe the long-standing land disputes between the two counties.

Some time ago, citizens of Grand Gedeh County and River Gee Counties were bitterly involved in serious border conflicts, with one party accusing the other of either violating the buffer zone restriction imposed by the Government of Liberia.

Some time ago, rumors speculated in Monrovia had it that there are growing concerns about how the land disputes at the border with the two counties have been handled, which has sparked continuous tension in the area, mainly in the Putu-Kelipo District area, thus, turning it into a serious border crisis.
