libelectYou are irreplaceable. I am still heeding
Your advice-not to sell my birth right.
Not even the streets built with diamonds
And gold can entice me to another MAMA.

Introduction

On March 7 and 27, 2010 respectively (see Dr. “George Boely . . . the Notorious LPC: A Response”and “Gbala Replies Kirkpatrick Weah et al:Claries & Sets the Records Stright”), we wrote, in response to the un-supported allegations made by Messrs Kirkpatrick Weah, J. K. Peah et al and some American Journalists, that Dr. George Boley was a warlord as leader of the Liberian Peace Council (LPC), a terrorist who committed war crimes, crimes against humanity and related, extra-judicial killings during our civil conflict.

In “Thinking About the Constitution: Did Liberians Ever Consent to Current One?” (FrontPageAfrica, March 2010), Mr. Kweme Clement, a former broadcast journalist with the state-owned Liberia Broadcasting System (LBS), toys with the idea that rewriting a new constitution for Liberia is the only viable option to “ensure fidelity to the principle that governments derive their legitimacy from the just consent of the governed.

"April 12 1980 Liberia's worst day in history" A rejoinder to Augustine Kollie
Written by Bai Mayson Gbala   
Sunday, 18 April 2010
rebutIntroduction

In his denial/rejection of the event of April 12, 1980, Mr. Augustine Kollie writes that “the 1980 coup had no purpose. It was borne out of falsehood . . .”

On the contrary, we hold that the abiding quest for human dignity, respect, freedom and justice throughout history and the continuing, human desire to perfect the democratic process, particularly in this case of the overwhelming majority of the population of our nation, Liberia, denial/rejection of the righteous validity and significance of the events of April 12, 1980, ignores the critical facts of human history and, therefore, is woefully unreasonable and without foundation, though mournfully regrettable in terms of the loss of precious, human lives;

 Shifting the development paradigm and mitigating Rural-Urban disparities in Liberia

“…for Liberia to be successful, it cannot simply recreate the economic and political structures of the past, which produced widespread income disparities, economic and political marginalization, and deep social cleavages…Liberia must create much greater economic and political opportunities for all its citizens and ensure that growth and development are widely shared, with the benefits spread much more...”  (Chapter 1, 2008 Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper)

The senators are swimming in error based on trivialities and deceptions
Written by Vallai M. Dorley   
Monday, 12 April 2010
Trivialities and trickeries are as old as the human race. My attention is drawn on recent pronouncement made by Mr. Darious Dillion, Chief of Office Staff in the offices of the wife of former Liberian president and now senior senator of Bong County; Madam Jowel Howard Taylor. In his argument, he brought to the attention of the senators not to confirm two presidential nominees in persons of Mr. Jerelemic Piah, Deputy Minister of Public Affairs at the Ministry of Information (Designate), and Mr. Isaac Jackson, Assistant Minister of Information Services, Ministry of Information (Designate).

Quardu-Gboni Mohamed Kanneh’s latest diatribe: Correction of History of Relationship between Lormas and Mandingoes 
  
There has been this long running disagreement on the demarcation of Quardu-Gboni and Voinjama District. Since the act creating the Quardu-Gboni District declared “Quardu-Gboni Chiefdom within Voinjama District, comprising 23 towns, 5 clans, 2 chiefdoms, be and same is hereby declared a body politic and corporate under the name and styled “Quardu-Gboni” (Wy-Wonnegoima) District Lofa County, Republic of Liberia”…; a major contention naturally erupted from the Lorma side which necessitated the government…

The New Dispenation Publisher takes on Bai Gbala
Written by J. K. K. Peah   
Saturday, 10 April 2010
rebutOn March 11, 2010, The New Dispensation published an article with  the caption,“For his Role in Liberia’s Destruction, Bai Gbala Calls  George Borley a Hero”. The news article was published based on Hon. Gbala’s article in the Liberian Journal reacting to a posting by  a Liberian, Mr. Kirkpatrick Weah who questioned President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf’s judgment for promising the people of Grand Gedeh that she would do what she could to impress upon authorities in the United States to free Dr. George Borley, a former warlord and rebel leader of the ironic Liberia Peace Council, LPC who is in prison in the United States for immigration violation and crimes against humanity perpetuated by the former warlord and his LPC during the Liberia civil war.

I'm sure these steps, if considered, the deaf and dumb person will have access to inclusive interactions with the world of the so-called normal people..."
