foedayReasons why this latest move is political grandstanding

The Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf Government of Liberia (GOL), according to news reports, has planned to hold a series of townhall meetings among Liberians in the United States of America, Europe, Ghana, and other places outside of Liberia so as to glean input from Liberians everywhere vis-à-vis poverty reduction in Liberia. Already we are informed that a government delegation is now in the U. S. holding townhall meetings in strategically selected states, including the State of Minnesota, which has a very large number of Liberians.

Martha Kannah and Group Got Caught in Container Misdeal

martha_kannahMartha Kannah’s mantra to keep her container misdeal secret has miserably failed her.  Therefore the effort of keeping the information concealed has also yielded on fruitful results, at least not in her favor.  The cat has been let out of the bag and the throes of revealing what actually happened must now begin.

sirleaf3POVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGY DEBATE:  WORLD BANK BETWEEN BIG BUSINESS AND FAIR REMITTANCES,  A POTENT WEAPON TO REDUCE POVERTY

President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has directed a high power delegation to inform Liberians in the US that even if the rate of poverty is high, and unemployment is increasing, her Poverty Reduction Strategy is on track. Is it a power point presentation or the institutionalization of an effective economic policy that will create an environment conducive for government to receive adequate resources to fight poverty?

 Martha Kannah Lies to President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf and Scams Shantel Tarwo in Container Deal

Remember all those sensational headlines (GGAA Gets Duty Free Soon; Martha Kannah Meets President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf)? Well, there was more to that than the sensational headlines. See folks, Martha failed her own interview with President Johnson-Sirleaf when she (Martha) could not tell the president specifically what was her purpose for meeting with the president.

thumb_gbalabaiPARALLEL “ADMINISTRATIONS” & POLARIZATION: THE CASE OF THE GRAND GEDEH ASSOCIATION USA & CALL FOR UNITY

Although there have been and still are carefully-crafted, provocative Press Releases of  claims & counter-claims; charges & counter-charges; name-calling & character assassinations; mud-slinging & political-profiling; planned different national conventions/elections by two Grand Gedeh Association “Administrations” USA, at different venues on the same  day and in the city of Philadelphia; and although after the visit to Liberia (as President of the Grand Gedeh Association USA, reported with pomp and pageantry) and return by Mrs. Martha Kannah and Delegation, the critical question of “who is the legitimate president of the Grand Gedeh Association” within the Grand Gedeh Community USA, remains un-answered  with  deepening division & polarization.

mpw_pictorial_8When Pope John Paul II (RIP) awarded the Benemerenti Award of Merit for Service to Humanity  in 1999 to Atty. Samuel Kofi Woods, II many might  have thought that because this  young man equally belongs to the Catholic Church, this  could have been the primo-determinant factor for such a great recognition and honour, but alas time -the greatest arbitrator human events has certainly proven that this was not the case rather the Pope as the Vicar of Christ had been under no illusion that this gentleman despite his humble beginnings was certainly destined for greatness precipice upon his un-daunting and unwavering stance in defense of fundamental human rights and social justice.

  The Assassination of William Richard Tolbert and the execution of 13 TWP Government officials, another view
 
That April 14, 1980 changed the history of Liberia forever can not be overemphasized; as I read the story of the honoring of those executed that day and the 13 others later by their family, I began to wonder, wonder as to why we, Liberians do not learn from our past. Though I personally did not think that the execution of those officials would help close the gap between the haves and the have-nots, but I understood that governments that will not listen to the governed invite situations like the execution of the 13 men on south beach that day in April, 1980.
