<strong>Persistent Advocacy Compels Painting of Elections Commission Headquarters in Liberia</strong>
9th Street Sinkor, Monrovia: At long last, the National Elections Commission has begun painting headquarters between 9th and 10th Streets in Sinkor.
The painting commenced on the morning of 16 January by the staffers of the National Elections Commission (NEC) and the General Services Agency (GSA).
For weeks, beautification activist, McClain Renner has been calling on the chairperson of NEC, Madam Davidetta Browne Lansanah to ensure that the compound housing the electoral body is painted and its outlook is beautiful.
Activist Renner stressed, “I stood here for one week at NEC. I protested here for another one week and today makes it the third week starting”.
Early Monday, 16 January, onlookers witnessed a scene by Activist Renner as he opened a can of ivory paint to paint the fence of the NEC.
“The most important building in the Republic of Liberia now is the Building of the National Elections Commission and I was told, it was President Weah, who mandated the GSA to paint the National Elections Commission Building”, Activist McClain Renner exclaims”.
Moments later, the walls of the NEC building were scribed by GSA and NEC employees, in a bid to remove the debris and other impurities which is the first step of the painting process.
For the past three weeks, Activist McClain Renner has been calling on the Authority of the NEC, to paint the Building because its outlook, does not represent such a highly acclaimed institution where both local and foreign guests, are expected to visit in vast numbers.
“The painting of the NEC is not politically driven” rather “it is out of our love for the Country that has made us embark on this dignified cause”, stressed Activist McClain Renner”.
The entire painting process of the National Elections Commission’s Building is expected to last for one month.
With months to the holding of the Presidential and General Elections, Liberians are craving for the NEC’s building to be given a facelift which will help, the NEC regain its illustrious image.
