In a country where public trust is the first casualty of governance, the act of telling the truth becomes revolutionary. And for all the challenges Liberia faces today, one thing remains certain- without truth, there can be no transformation.
Before the emergence of Liberia’s modern judicial system, disputes were resolved through traditional mechanisms that fostered durable peace and reconciliation.
A growing cybersecurity threat is emerging in Liberia, and it's targeting one of the most widely used messaging apps in the country, WhatsApp. A growing trend in Liberia is revealing that a troubling number of WhatsApp users are being hacked daily. Every day, more and more Liberians are finding themselves locked out of their WhatsApp accounts after falling victim to a calculated and manipulative hacking scheme.
With a heart full of gratitude and humility, I stand before you today to express my sincerest thanks to you, Mr. President, for the honor of serving as the National Orator for our country’s 178th Independence Day celebration.
The signature of the President is not merely ink on paper, it is the legal expression of the sovereignty of the Republic. Constitutionally, it represents the final assent of the executive to matters of national import: it validates laws, executes treaties, approves contracts, and conveys public authority.
Your oration was rich with references to sustainability and national development, and there were certainly some noteworthy highlights. However, there were also many moments where your delivery felt more like an attempt to chase applause than to confront hard truths.
After decades of civil unrest and ethnically driven violence—often orchestrated or exacerbated by political elites for personal gain—Liberia remains without a coherent and inclusive national security strategy. Despite constitutional guarantees of protection and equality before the law, the lived reality for most Liberians is one of daily insecurity, fear, and abandonment.
I got my license back on Monday following an encounter with the traffic police on July 18 for what they cited as an “improper U-turn” at the intersection of Broad and Randall Streets.
