She also pointed out that "This is not about me or the incumbent, this is about the fundamentals of our democracy. This is about the moral integrity of our house of honor, the House of Legislature. This is about setting a standard for our future generations on how a lawmaker should comport him himself".

"Look when you are a law marker of a district, that means you are like a father figure to your constituents. Your people look up to for leadership and guidance".

"They expect you to make decisions that improve their lives. The things you say and do have an impact on your people, especially the children".

However, Vice President Taylor reassured Liberians and residents of District 10, of the Government's resolve to implement programes, and revitalize industries and create multiple jobs for economic growth.

Madam Davies previously worked at the Ministry of Commerce as Inspector General and is seeking a bid to remove current incumbent Yekeh Korluba.
