Information Minister, Dr. Lawrence Konmla Bropleh says as head of the Ministry of Information, Culture & Tourism, he takes the responsibility for the Kendeja incident.
Isn't it time the phDs in Liberia engage in to a very meaningful and viable research in their respective fields for the betterment of Liberians and yea humanity the world over than sitting in government offices to deal otherwise in the poor tax payers' money? Dr. Bropleh, what are you doing with your ph.D in the Ministry of Information when the University of Liberia and or Cuttington is in dire need of qualified persons to impart the right kind of knowledge to the ever growing population.Shame on you Mr. Bropleh to have engaged in such dubious transaction when Liberians are in abjuct poverty. Mr. Bropleh, by an admitance of quilt, you need to be fired and prosecuted.
The Executive, Judicary and Legislative branch of governmemt are out of control. This is an out of control government not much different from previous governments.
I don't think the Liberian Government is out of control. Minister Bropleh was honest enough to explain to the Liberian people the more details surrounding the Kendeja:s saga. The President also had explained to the Liberian people the reason why Kendeja will be relocated to a new area. We all should be proactive towards decisions that will improve our country and create jobs for our people. Thus, the Cultural Center has been in that area for time in memorail, but it doesn't always has to be a beach front. This is an area that has never been cared for before and up to the end of the Tolbert's era. Relocating the center in an ideal place away from the erosion of the beach front center will bring other developments in that area and draw in tourism and tax money to Liberia. The development and exihibition of Liberian cultural and arts will not be destroyed as the opponnets of relocation think.
It is understandable for the demonstrations of the school kids and residents of Kendeja, because I belive they were not adequately informed of Government's decision of the relocation.
What I think the writer should do is to suggest or recommend to the Liberian government or Ministry of Tourism ideas for improvement to the cultural settings of the new location, which will attract more tourists to the center.
This write also is not appreciating the post war government and is not telling the truth that this government is not the same of the pre-war governments he or she supported.
