Change this by immediately reorienting our national compass, ensuring equitable redistribution of the national resources to begin building this all-supportive, national foundation. Elected local officials can get a much-needed experience in these local bodies before going to the national legislature. Liberia must reinstitute the “village order”, where those who apply themselves are given preference, position, honor and respect; not the other way around. If we fail to do this, we will have no grounds to criticize what’s happening in Liberia. Adapting cultures that are not ours creates the kind of societal confusion and disorganization that is pervasive in Liberia today.
