Monrovia – President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has addressed the nation commending Liberians for their patience and peaceful demeanor. She said Liberia’s laws and democratic institutions are strong; they will withstand this challenge, and they will stand the test of time. “Allegations, hate speech, inciting language has been defining what should be a proud moment in our history,” she pointed out. President Sirleaf said democracy is only as strong as its weakest link and at these moments, our democracy is under assault; our country’s reputation is under assault while our economy is under stress. “We politicians must do better; our people went the distance; we achieved 73 percent voters’ turnout demonstrating confidence in our electoral process and the future of our country,” President Sirleaf intimated.
