Os partidos da oposição e o governo da Liberia tem que mundar as suas politicas porque a outra politica é possivel e necessária e é imprescindivel para que a sociedade civil possam ter uma vida digna por um pais melhor
I am very saddened and disappointed that in this post Liberia we are still in miss-steps with priorities. Signing of this so called Democracy Bill is completely treacherous to national agenda. Signing of this Bill by the Senate again dumps our hard earned money [tax payers money] in the gabbage. Why, because they failed as representatives of the Liberian people to channel our interest as a top most priority. What mechanisms have been viewed or strategies to ensure that this subsidy will enhance grass root democracy? Is this a ploy to put money in the pockets of their political colleagues who have not been called for job - an adhoc employment scheme !!!!!!!!!!!!.
This makes me wonder as to how long will we thread on this path of insensitivity? When will we choose to march Liberia's development in a more stemtemic fashion that breeds on the culture of transperancy, accountability and dedication? What a challenge !!!! This is why I see this Bill as a waste of another so desired meager resources.
He should, not for himself but for us. The man who would be president needs to show us what he is capable of. If he can get in there and negotiate with his colleagues and make deals, if he can get in there and understand how government works, if he can help discover sources of revenue he wants to spend, then we will know that this man has the potential to be president. This will actually be the first time we might have an opportunity to see him work with equals in an environment other than the soccer environment. If he can successfully do this, he might win a lot us over. The presidency bar has been raised, so we want to make that whoever comes in there knows what he's doing.
Hey Georgie, politics is a science, of which you know nothing. Yes, everyman is instintively a political animal, but it does not mean that everyman ought to be a politician. This is not your forte, so stick to you calling (Soccer) and allow those with political character to rise.
