Democracy should be, ultimately, about citizens' collective input in decision-making and collective responsibility for socio-economic and political improvement.

Many ordinary Liberians have lost trust in President Sirleaf's leadership
of Liberia with the exception of her ministers, deputies, cronies, and the
well connected. The president says one thing but her actions speak volumes
on corruption, transparency, judiciary reform, and development. After 7.5
years in power, Monrovia and its environs have no electricity, no safe
drinking water, education and health care are in the toilet. Why must she
speak on transparency when there is no transparency in her administration.
All audits reports have been shelved because those implicated are her
cronies. President Sirleaf in collaboration with the corrupt Liberian
legislature have made matter worse. They allocate the national budget to
their benefits and salaries. Why should Liberia spent US $224,000.00 on a
lawmaker per year when children are not going to school and selling in
market places? How can a minister or director receive 500-1000 gallons of
gasoline on monthly basis when he or she is not going anywhere. The
mistakes of past are being repeated. Nepotism is on the rise in government.
Corruption has over taken to a point where it is done in the open, banks,
place of business, air port, every where in Liberia. Thanks to President
Sirleaf's leadership.
the emphasis shouldn't be place only on multinational companies , but
members of the G8 nations , these nations sometimes turn a blind eye to
curruption in African countries , once the policies of these currupt
African leaders suit their countries ( members of G8 )interest , example
Paul Biya's Cameroon , France says nothing about his long stay in power and
his currupt policies that is causing young cameroonian to flee their nation
, the late Omar Bongo give all his countries wealth to france , while his
people were suffering , America back the currupt regime of the late
president Samuel Doe of Liberia , the members of G8 need to also speak out
against curruption , even if the policies of these currupt African leaders
suit their interest .
The Group of Eight or G8 is a forum for the governments of the world's eight wealthiest countries. In this case, one would hardly speak of the tiny West African nation of Liberia, which lies at the bottom of UN Development Index. But, as it is said, the child who washes its hands eats with kings; meaning that though Liberia is not a wealthy country on the Planet, its current President has ...
