The Speaker of the House of Representatives Bhofal Chambers has warned individuals who came into prominence through the administration of the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) led government and are doing nothing to benefit the country, to think about a decision of leaving government instead of tinting its image.
Speaking via mobile phone from the United States of America on the state-owned Liberia Broadcasting System (LBS), Speaker Chambers asserted that officials of government must be supportive of the President’s initiatives to ensure that the government is qualitative.
“I also want to encourage those people in the country that are working in government to help. As I said, some people have come up on the wings of President Weah; many persons have come up on his shoulder.
They have been given recognition and validation as eminent and prominent citizens of Liberia and by that, their actions must be supportive of the President’s initiative to ensure that we have a qualitative government,” said the House Speaker.
According to him, people working in government must as the President will never be everywhere at the same time.
“People who are put in charge of government must be able to represent him [President] fully to the best, and those who are not prepared I don’t think they should be in the mix to tint this government. If you are not prepared to serve this government, it is better you step aside and waits for the time you think you will be able to serve the people,” the Maryland County Pleebo Sodokan District#2 Representative furthered.
The speaker’s recent warning was in relation to the ensuing elections, which thinks all officials of government must properly play their role to impact society to give the government a positive image for re-election.
“Don’t be in government and be an auto intoxicator, don’t play those kinds of roles; it’s vicious,” he added.
Eligible Liberian voters are getting set to go to the poll on October 10, 2023, in consonance with Article 77(b) of the Liberian Constitution.
As part of the preparatory stage, the country’s electoral body, the National Elections Commission (NEC) is currently carrying out the first phase of the biometric voters’ registration process (BVR) process for the first six counties.
The six counties include Gbarpolu, Bomi, Grand Cape Mount, Margibi, Bassa, and Montserrado. Phase one will run from 20 March to April 9. Phase two will run from 21 April to 11 May with the rest of the other nine counties
