The careful strategy and data-driven approach of CDC pays off in the elections as Unity Party faces a major setback
Date: October 11, 2023: In a stunning turn of events, the Unity Party (UP) finds itself on the brink of defeat as the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) successfully counters their baseless cyber propaganda.
In any democratic society, the cornerstone of the political system lies in the belief that every citizen's vote holds equal value and should be counted impartially.
Liberia, a country that emerged from a devastating civil war, is now striving to strengthen its democratic processes, including holding its third successive free and fair elections.
Public administration is a multidimensional field that encompasses the management and execution of public policies, programs, and services.
It involves coordinating resources, implementing government decisions, and serving the public interest. Ethical and unethical behavior concepts are crucial in shaping public administration's effectiveness, integrity, and accountability.
Liberia, a nation with a tumultuous history marred by a brutal civil war, has been striving to build a stable and democratic society since the early 2000s. In 2023, the country is at a pivotal juncture as it prepares for its legislative and presidential elections.
Undoubtedly, the visa restriction announced by US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, is in response to the threats emanating from UP Standard Bearer, Jospeh Boakai and Prince Johnson – Liberia’s well-known and intransigent mass murderer-in-chief.
It is less difficult to decode the diplomatic signal being directed to Liberia because in recent times, the United States Government issued similar visa restrictions on Nigerians who were involved in undermining their democracy through threatening patterns of attitude and behavior.
For decades, its availability, price, and quality have shaped our nation’s narrative. From the unrest sparked by proposed rice tariffs in 1979 to the present challenges of COVID-19, climate impacts, conflict, and commodity price fluctuations, our reliance on imported rice has persisted.
However, the events of 2022 have underscored a stark reality: this dependence is not sustainable.
As we grapple with the aftermath of Ebola and face the new 4Cs challenges, we must reimagine our approach to rice production.
It’s time to shift the paradigm by focusing on three key pillars: bolstering smallholder production, scaling up agribusiness micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), and attracting commercial agrifood ventures.
The political landscape in Liberia has been marked by turbulence and discord in recent times, with the once-prominent Unity Party facing internal challenges.
Amidst this chaos, the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) has emerged as a beacon of hope, offering sanctuary and support to disenchanted Liberian citizens who have been subjected to political abuse.
