• Kru People Child Jul 24 2013, 12:24 Report Abuse President Sirleaf you urging Liberians to protect national and security interest in the country. For test #1 can you put stop to this ritualistic kills in River Cess County and the NIGEE SOCIETY with the Banny and Gbasaygee families who are working for you and your administration? They just kill a school teacher called Anthoney Garmonyou Zoko in Cestos City. Senator Jonathan Banny just went to Nigeria, were you the President that sent him and for what? If you want peace in Liberia , please found the missing school teacher, it is going to two months and nobody can found him. He was married to Sammy Gbasaygee daughter and lives in the same house with the Gbasaygees.
Corruption is a cancer that is exponentially destroying Liberia. The three branches of government, Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary are those who are involve in corruption. These branches of government have encourage corruption and all members benefit from corruption in Liberia. Corruption discourage job creation. For example, I want to work an insurance business that deals with automobile insurance in Liberia. But how can I collect premium from Liberians who I will not be able to pay because the police and the judiciary are so corrupt. A good government that fight corruption through the judicary and promotes accountability allows individuals to open business because people believe in the judiciary. But from my point of view, the judiciary is corrupt and rotten with some members with credibility problem.
