The Paramount Chief of Magbema Chiefdom in Kambia District, North-Western Sierra Leone PC Bai Farama Tass Bubu Ngbak-IV who doubled as the Paramount Member of Parliament of the district, last Thursday appointed popular businessman Abdul Petrol Kamara as the new Section Chief of Rokupr Khaliza following the death of the setion's former Pa. Alimamy Kafoire Kamara. A September, 2, 2021 correspondence from the Administrative Clerk of Magbema Chiefdom confirmed the appointed of the famous business mogul: “I’m directed by the Honorable Paramount Chief Bai Farama Tass Bubu N’gbak IV to inform you that you have been appointed the Regent Chief of Rokupr Section, Magbema Chiefdom, Kambia District with immediate effect.” The new regent chief of Rokupr section Abdul Petrol Kamara comes into his latest role with huge administrative experience having occupied the leadership position in the section such as the Chairman of the Rokupr Wharf Boat Riders for over ten years. Kamara who hails from coastal village of Roshinor is also a master farmer and popular entrepreneur. He will henceforth shoulder the responsibility as the sole custodian and traditional head of the Rokupr Section with support from sub-chiefs under the auspices of Paramount Chief Bai Farama Tass Bubu Ngbak IV until further notice. Residents of the Section have voiced that Chief Kamara is widely expected to thread through the positive steps of his predecessor Pa. Alimamy Kaforie Kamara who returned to Futa some two weeks ago after his diligent services to the people of the section for over four decades.
