You cannot win with cracks in the ranks just as you cannot fight with wounds on the hands, eyes, and legs. And so I come not to upset the usual party way of thinking, but to prescribe the politically correct path, one that may bruise the ego, but fortifies the strategy.
Liberia stands at a fragile crossroads. While the Boakai administration celebrates a 4.8% GDP expansion in 2024 and narrowing fiscal deficits, two major reports, the World Bank’s Country Economic Memorandum (March 2025), and Afrobarometer’s 2024–2025 survey reveal a sobering contradiction.
With Chief Justice Sie-A-Nyene Gyapay Yuoh turning 70, as mandated by Article 72(b) of the Liberian Constitution, she bows out of the judiciary, marking the end of a tenure and the beginning of a consequential decision for President Joseph Boakai.
History has a way of separating political attacks from policy substance. No figure better embodies this tension today than Samuel D. Tweh, former Finance Minister under President George Weah.

When the Vice President of the Republic of Liberia, Hon. Jeremiah K. Koung , a man constitutionally charged with assisting the President in the execution of the nation’s laws and presiding over the Senate’s legislative deliberations, travels to China not to conduct a state visit, negotiate a bilateral agreement, or represent the country in a formal capacity, but instead to personally inspect the price and quality of construction machines, the entire architecture of good governance is called into question.
President Donald Trump campaigned on his ability to protect world peace, arguing that were he in the White House, the Russia-Ukraine war would not have started and that probably the current deadly Israel-Hamas fight in Gaza might have been obviated. Donald Trump was not in the White House so the world missed these opportunities.
