Laraamand Nyonton condemned the government for ‘institutionalizing’ Corruption, adding “We cannot afford to celebrate 173 years of Independence in a nation where corruption has now been given an official bureaucratic status – the Bureau of Corruption. Liberia, Africa’s oldest democracy is poised to celebrate its 173rd Independence Day on July 26, 2020. “We call for a national boycott of Liberia’s 173 Independence celebrations. We call on all struggling Liberians – struggling students, struggling youth, struggling market women, struggling teachers and farmers, struggling civil servants, struggling health workers, struggling Liberian business owners – who are in fact in their majority, disproportionally to the number of well-off Liberians milking from our nation’s resources to boycott the 173rd Independence Celebrations,” Amb. He continues: “We cannot afford to celebrate 173 years of Independence in a nation where the President cares only about himself and not the people.
