ACCRA, GHANA (October 4, 2017) – IMANI Center for Policy and Education released new report today that examines key manifesto programmes of major political parties contesting the October 10 Presidential elections in Liberia. The report scrutinized key promises made by political parties in Liberia in the key sectors of economy, education, health, energy and mining. Surprisingly, allocation rules for revenue from extractives are derived from the Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) Act which states that revenue collected by the LRA should be paid directly into the consolidated fund (Section 26). However, the true cost of democracy will be lost if voters lack a clear understanding of the promises made by political parties.
