Making big promises during takeover and at confirmation hearing is customary in contemporary Liberian political culture. One major reason is that Legislators usually appear disinclined to hold public officials accountable for what they say and do. We are beginning to hear big promises again as nominees appear before the Senate for confirmation. It is always better to say little and do more than to make big promises with little or nothing done. This is why, in our opinion, the words of the great inventor, Benjamin Franklin “Well done is better than well said” resonates so strongly.
