Monrovia — The Movement for Justice in Africa (MOJA) is calling on all Liberians to stand up and be counted during the ensuring census 2008 exercise.
The call was made by the Leader of MOJA, Dr. Togba-Nah Tipoteh on the eve of the movement's 35th Anniversary, which falls on Friday, March 21, 2008.
According to a release, the MOJA Leader said when Liberians stand up to be counted in Census 2008, they will be showing their determination to become owners of their country, which continues to be under foreign domination.
Dr. Tipoteh is also urging all Liberians to see Census 2008 as a great opportunity to demonstrate patriotism and unity of purpose.
"The start of Census 2008 on March 21st must serve as a stand to be counted for justice, especially for the poor who continue to be left out in the count of beneficiaries from the vast riches of Liberia", Dr. Tipoteh asserted.
In his anniversary message to the people of MOJA, Dr. Tipoteh said all of them must stand up to be counted so that they can see their great numbers throughout Liberia and know how these numbers can be used to build up the people's power needed to take action leading to the breaking of the chains of injustices and the improvement of poor people's living conditions.
