ELECTION CONFIGURATION
GEORGE ABOU GONTOR SENIOR GEOLOGIST AT
NATIONAL OIL COMPANY OF LIBERIA
Another poor political anatomy from Rodney Sieh; how will a journalist
weights one's popularity over his potential electorates. In no way, except
for Weah and the Vice President, that these three gentlemen can defeat
a personality like Sen. Prince Johnson and Sen. Varney Sherman in any
national elections. Please go back and rewrite a piece that opinion poll
will buy.

SARR ABDULAI VANDI TOP COMMENTER WASHINGTON,
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
There is absolutely no correlation and/or possible endorsement of the
OBAMA administration of Madame President's corrupt and incompetent
administration simply because of the Ebola threat and/or success. The
international comity admonished and encouraged the U.S. to take the lead
in combating the Ebola pandemic in Liberia. The U.S. had no interest in
pumping up and salvaging the dictator and plutocrat.
FrontPage Africa's assessment is disingenuous and a paid PR stunt at
best. Liberia remains a corrupt, an unaccountable and in transparent
nation-state, under the grand old warmonger and queen of the apocalyptic
mushroom cloud.
With regards to the transition and the suggested succession lineups, none
of the above is up to the task. Besides, the choice shall be made by the
U.S., and neither of the FrontPage Africa's presently anointed wannabees
is on the U.S. preferred radar.

VP Boakai should do the honorable thing by not contesting. Liberians are
tired with the stench smell of Unity Party. Urey is doing great but he and
Jones could be the new cash cows like Sherman in 2005. Therefore the
possibility of either Weah or Brumskine becoming president is evident.
However, in Liberia, anything is possible so do not rule out Kofi Woods
or Augustine Ngafuan. No cussing, more dialoguing!

Weah will do pretty well in the Senate and as President of Liberia. He is

SIMEON SIMEON TOP COMMENTER OWNER AT SELFEMPLOYED
Front Page Africa is an market media house, That s only lookout for
payment before selling ur CV, Urey can even sleep in the streets of
Nimba and Bong until 2017 Presidency election and, With his so called
international connection, Urey can never and ever win Representative
Acarous Gray in any category of election in Liberia, Mills Jones is a
good man but Front Page Africa should understand that s Mills Jones
is working for the Liberian people and he s should be only grateful to
the Liberian people, And wait on his best chance for Runningmate only,
All this analysis from Front Page Africa just to involve Mills Jones for
underward cut, But Mills Jones is aware and very careful, For Charles

SOLOMON.BLYDEN (SIGNED IN USING YAHOO)
Sen. Weah's main challenge is for him to convince the vote rich counties
like Bong, Nimba, Margibi, Bassa and Lofa that CDc can make better
leadership for liberia. CDC has not succeeded in doing that, this was
clearly shown in the just ended senatorial elections which CDC succeeded
in winning montserrado and grand gedeh counties; if the variable remains
the same as shown in the just ended elections, then, Weah's chances in
2017 may be undermined. Lofa county featuring a candidate in 2017 may
have some uphill battle; strategic post in govt now are manned by them
from foreign affairs, defense, maritime, finance, etc including the VP lofans should begin image building as a way to diffuse things and help the
current VP. Urey link to the Taylor's sentiment and the NPP could pay off
for him, take Bong county for example.

while celebrating
World
Press
Freedom
Day,
the Press Union of Liberia
organized a debate between
the University of Liberia and
Stella Maris Polytechnic on the
implementation of the Freedom
of Information Act. The Union
was honored to have three
distinguished
personalities
served as panel of judges: Cllr.
Michael Allison, Ms. Dehab
Ghebreab,
former
Public
Affairs Officers (PAO) at the
US Embassy near Monrovia
and Chris Simpson, formerly
of the BBC. I recalled how
Cllr. Allison was critical with
his scores.
On February 13, 2015, the
Liberians in and out of the
Monroviahe
Japanese
government
has
signed a US$86,928
grant
with
the
Liberian National Red Cross
in support of its Grassroots
Human
Security
Project
(GGHSP), in its effort to
combat the deadly Ebola virus.
Speaking at the signing
ceremony held at the LNRCS
office on Lynch Street, the
Japanese Ambassador
to
Liberia, Kaoru Yoshimura
said, the grant is an additional
support to the Liberian
government
through
the
LNRCS to continue the fight
against Ebola in the country.
Mr. Yoshimura said the

through
Lott Cary Mission, Medicine
San Frontiers, Samaritan Purse,
Cuban government, Chinese

Agencies: UNICEF, WHO
and World Bank that had
their presence in the affected
countries.
He said the organization is not
only depending on handouts
but has embarked on several
measures to raise fund and
needed materials to send to the
affected Ebola hit countries.
Also speaking at the Pan African
Summit, the Senior Pastor
of Enon Tabernacle Baptist
Church Rev. Dr. Alyn E. Waller
assured members from various
organizations of their church
support to several of their
initiatives.
On the issue of the three hit
Ebola countries Rev. Waller said
his ministry is currently working
through Lott Carey Mission by
providing relief items for the
people of West Africa during the
current Ebola crisis.
Said Waller, The vision of
Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church
is to be A Place where people
encounter God. This ministry
Enon is here to help others so
whatever we received here we
used our ten percent of total
income to help others.
He challenged delegates at the
conference to be more strategic
in their planning and identify
a particular way they want the
church to support their activities
in their respective countries.
This years focus for the Pan
African Summit was Global
Partnerships for the cause of
Christ and it brought together
delegates from Kenya, South
Africa, Nicaragua, and the

Ebola crisis.
"As Liberia approaches zero
cases of Ebola, our focus
on supporting the country's
economic
recovery
and
preparedness for future shocks
will move to the forefront" said
Inguna Dobraja, World Bank
Group Country Manager for
Liberia, "There is still much
work to be done to protect the
long-term welfare of the most
vulnerable in Liberia."
Despite an improved outlook,
agriculture remains a concern.
Nearly 65 percent of agricultural
households surveyed in this
round believed that their harvest
would be smaller than it had
been in the previous year, though
this is down from 80 percent in
December. Labor shortages and
inability to work in groups due to
Ebola infection fears continue to
pose a problem for agricultural
households; if the fear persists
into the new season beginning in
April, it could impact the amount
of land under cultivation, as the
clearing process is more labor
intensive than the harvest.
Food
insecurity
persists
nationwide, with nearly threequarters of households reporting
that they were worried at some
point in the previous week that
they would not have enough to
eat; households continue to cite
a lack of money as the main
constraint to purchasing enough
food to feed their families.
"It is encouraging to see good
news related to jobs," said
Kristen Himelein, World Bank
Group
Poverty
Economist
for Liberia, "While the food
insecurity and self-employment
numbers are still concerning, the
economic turnaround has begun.
We are seeing the lowest out-ofwork numbers since October."
As households send their
children back to school in the
next month, and with the opening
of international borders and
lifting of the curfew, the World
Bank Group and its partners in
the Liberia Institute of Statistics
and Geo-Information Services
and the Gallup Organization will
continue to monitor the crisis
and work to support the Liberian
government and its people
as they move into economic
recovery.

In Liberia, they will tour the Monrovia Medical Unit (MMU),

Department of Health and Human Services. U.S. Deputy Surgeon
General RADM Boris D. Lushniak is currently the commanding
officer of the MMU.

PUL President, Abdullah

had earlier heard that the PUL
was part of the investigators
on the radio but since then the
union has not been contacted

that the PUL will be glad to
form part of the investigation if
they are included.
Its the matter of finding out
