I am oppose to the death penalty. I think it is barbaric to take the life of anyone, no matter the circumstances. The death penalty will not prevent armed robbery in Liberia. What would have a sustainable effect on armed robbery is employment generation. As long as more than 80% of Liberians are unemployed and unemployable - in many cases, crime will be a preferred option. As a nation, we need to make employment creation, the decongestation of our most populous cities - Monrovia, Kakata, etc by creating job incentives in other parts of the… [Read Full Text]

I am a bit confused about AI’s concerns in repealing the death penalty law in Liberia. Liberia has been involved with a 15 or more year civil war. This war caused lot of destruction of human lives and property. There was rape, looting, and mass killings, burning of homes, etc. such things remain very fresh and vivid in the minds of the population. Because of this, many Liberians fled their country to refugee camps and some been internally displaced. Arm robbers, bandits, and thugs should not create such situation that warrant people living their homes and country for resettlement elsewhere… [Read Full Text]

Mr Pajibo, you have made this sort of noice for a very long time and we are yet to see the practical benefits of it. IF YOU KILL THE LAW SHOULD AND MUST KILL YOU. The international community should never take advantage of the state of confusion or war or when people are desperate for their basic survival to have their leaders sign laws that normally would not hold. It is rediculous to note that this abolition of death penalty was signed in 2005 when Liberia was very vulnerable to exploitation from the very international… [Read Full Text]

I disagree with the Death Penalty, but yet I think there should be some kind of punishment given to these Armed Robbers that will prevent them from coming back at their victims.I also think if an death occured during the time of the robbery,those Armed Robbers involved should face life sentences.Armed Robbers are causing serious problem to the development and progress of our country.They are driving away investors, and making the country unsafe for people oversea to return home.It is about time that all Liberian stand up against those Armed Robbers and help the Government, the Police and other security… [Read Full Text]

Let Ezekial Pajibo short his big mouth and go back to the class room and teach the students some sense. The reason is the time for political rhetorics has passed. Ezekial and the so-called progressives will be the same people that will call press conference to condemn the governemnt when there is insecurity in Liberia, most especially Monrovia. Now the government is taken measure to curtail the harressment and killing of peaceful citizens of Liberia by criminals and he is crying wolf. I hope he is not behind those thugs to gain his political longevity... Let me remind all of… [Read Full Text]

I would like to thank the EU for whatever assistance it is rendering the Liberian people through our government and relief organizations. But when it comes to dealing with criminals in our country, what are good for the EU countries are not all good for Africa (Liberia). We just emerged from war and people are trying to put pieces of their lives back together and are being harressed, intimidated, and even killed by those high class criminals who were once rebels and so-called government forces, if nothing is done to remedy the situation by executing those that will be found… [Read Full Text]
