Konobo District

Mining, small scale farming and hunting are the main source of income for bulk of the population.

In 2012, the Liberian government arrested and is still detaining several suspected men from the District and other parts of Grand Gedeh accused of cross border raids which left seven Niger UN peacekeepers and 8 Civilians dead in neighboring Coted'Ivoire.

The men and vast number of the district residents continue to plead non involvement in such act and many of them have repeatedly accused Monrovia of discriminatory treatment against the Krahn ethnic group where former president Samuel Doe hailed from.

Road maintenance is carried out mainly by hand work particularly with cutlasses for side brushing and axe for removing logs thrown across by heavy storms or other features.

The District is home to George Dweh Jr, former speaker of the National Transitional Legislative Assembly of Liberia(NTLA) between 2003 and early 2005, shortly before the 2005 general elections.
