Welcome to Liberian Future Defender!

The resignation of Amin Modad, Commerce and Industry Minister is a testament that Boakai does not want corrupt officials in his administration. The minister was accused of spending about $ 96,000 on a vehicle for himself while his employees have no ride to work, and Liberians are struggling for food. Where did he get the money when his salary was between $6000 and $7000? Over the years, the failure of those elected to the presidency to address dishonesty and corruption of government officials was a disheartening experience throughout the country. 

Many Liberians and the international community were surprised when the 2024 Liberian Independence Day national orator, Dr. Robtel Neajai Pailey naively partially blamed the United States for a lack of significant progress in Liberia. The orator said the Americans benefited more from Liberia than Liberia benefited from the United States. This is a false analysis. She needs a history or political science lesson. Historically, corrupt is the culture of Liberia and it destroys people's lives. 

One of the key steps towards overcoming the challenges in Liberia is President Boakai’s unwavering stance against corrupt government officials. His commitment to this cause is a reassuring sign for Liberia’s future. Equally important is the need for Boakai to be vigilant in selecting his officials. It is a fundamental principle that entrusting critical responsibilities to incompetent individuals can only lead to poor outcomes. The situation in Liberia can only improve when we have leaders who embody the qualities of honesty, competence, and vision. These are the leaders who can steer the country towards a brighter future, and it is these leaders  

Dr. Moses Kulo, 

I was in Liberia from July 2024 to August 2024, visiting relatives and friends while assessing the country's progress and challenges. Please accept my apology for not alerting our readers of my inability to update the website while in Liberia. 

In the coming weeks, you will delve deeper into Liberia's current state, particularly around its capital. 

It's worth noting that despite facing significant economic challenges, Liberians continue to uphold their reputation as some of the friendliest people in West Africa. Their remarkable kindness, care, respect, and love for each other and other nationalities are genuinely inspiring. Their higher tolerance suggests a readiness to address their social, economic, and political issues through democratic means, a testament to their resilience in the face of adversity.

One of the most urgent issues Liberia is currently addressing is the necessity to unite all its citizens to champion transparency and accountability. It's crucial to recognize that the nation's resources are finite, and it's unsustainable for government officials to operate without supervision. The reluctance of some former officials to undergo audits is a significant obstacle to the country's economic development and financial stability. Regardless of political party affiliations, your support for the current administration's initiative to audit all ministries and agencies is crucial and can make a significant difference.
