Senator Johnson regrets supporting President Boakai on Radio Scelepea, says Weah is a good Boy

Nimba County Senator Prince Yormie Johnson has regretted his decision to support Unity Party standard barrier Joseph Nyumah Boakai during the 2023 general election.

Senator Johnson said during the early stage of the campaign, he didn't notice President Boakai had hiding agenda for many Sons and Daughters in Liberia more especially Nimba County, something he said has the propensity to play with the Country's hard earned peace.

Recently, the house of representatives passed the War Crimes court resolution, the first agenda of the Boakai-Koung Administration and it has been overwhelmingly signed by the house of Senate.

Despite signing the War Crimes court resolution, Senator Johnson described the WCC as weapon that has the propensity to open old wound across the Country.

Meanwhile, the Nimba County Senator described former President Weah as a good Boy and patriotic son in the Republic of Liberia.

He praised former president Weah when he appeared on Radio Scelepea in Scelepea City, Nimba County.

STATEMENT MADE BY HONORABLE JEREMIAH KPAN KOUNG, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA, ON THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE 55th NATIONAL LEGISLATURE AND 1st REGULAR SESSION OF THE HONORABLE LIBERIAN SENATE

Delivered on 25th January 2024

The Honorable President Pro Tempore of the Liberian Senate;
Distinguished Members of the Senate Leadership; and other Distinguished Members of the Liberian Senate;
The Secretary, Chamber Officials, Directors and Staff of the Liberian Senate;
Our International Partners and Friends of Liberia;
Esteemed Members of the 4Th Estate;
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen:

I remain grateful to the Almighty God and humbled by the extraordinary honour today, to converge in this sacred Chamber and address this august body in a new capacity as Vice President of the Republic of Liberia and President of the Honorable Liberian Senate. I owe a debt of gratitude for this new capacity to the Liberian people who would not sleep to make this change possible. Over the last few months, the survival of our Nation’s democracy was tested through a competitive Presidential and Legislative elections; while these elections were not void of attending challenges, our people exhibited a character of resilience in testament to their belief in the ideals of democracy, peace, and national development. Let me congratulate all of you for a hard-fought campaign and welcome our newly elected Senators who have joined us to continue the legacy of service to the Liberian people.

Today, our Nation has once again ushered in its second successive post-war democratic transition from one Government to another. These transitions are marks of our country’s preparedness for democracy. During the conduct of our elections and the attending transition of state power, we have, as a Nation, demonstrated our commitment to peace and the credibility of our democratic aspirations and institutions. Permit me to seize this opportunity to express profound thanks and appreciation to former President George Manneh Weah and my predecessor, former Vice President, Jewel Howard-Taylor for their stewardship of our beloved Nation over the last six years; I believe that the ultimate winners in these elections are the Liberian people who are the true custodians of our peace and democracy.

As we commence our deliberations, we must perform our collective responsibilities with a deep sense of patriotism, bearing in mind that the true PROTECTORS of the political power we possess are the PEOPLE; thus the welfare of the Liberian People should constitute the overarching focus of our developmental agendas and attending debates.

Now, I stand here to remind this August Body that Our People are demanding a drastic change in our leadership paradigm; Our People are yearning for accountability and the respect for the rule of law, they are seeking opportunities for employment and investments, they are demanding the rebirth of the merit-based system, where competence and results are the primary focus of Our public sector, they are anticipating that we will enact laws and implement policies which address their socio-economic needs, and they are in a state of high expectation that we will strengthen our Nation’s relationship with international partners. Distinguished Senators, these are the enormous responsibilities which confront this noble body, and we must embrace it without any degree of doubts.

Honorable Pro Tempore, Distinguished Senators, Ladies and Gentlemen, this 1st Regular Session of the 55th National Legislature is not only historical because it climaxes the constitutional responsibilities of the 54th National Legislature, but it also sets the platform for the emergence of a new era of a smooth political transition which has enhanced our Nation’s democratic credentials. As we take pride in the many commendations received from friendly Nations across the world, we must be reminded that the ultimate goal of our service is not in the victory which comes during elections, but in the crafting and ex*****on of laws and policies which have a positive transformative effect on the lives of our people.

Our recent elections results point to the diversity of our political views and aspirations. We have a shared responsibility to promote reconciliation and demonstrate true leadership in bringing our people together under the umbrella of peace and national development. Let us embrace a new mindset now that elections are over, eliminate the idea of a Green or Blue Liberia, and give every Liberian the opportunity to contribute his or her quota to nation-building. This is the assignment we have chosen, and our performance will be judged by it.

I sat in this chamber with an understanding that the 103 Lawmakers who represent the Liberian people have an uncommon privilege; we carry the burdens, dreams and aspirations of our people, and their survival depend on the decisions that we make. We must remain conscious that the urgent responsibility which comes with this assignment gives no room for excuses; all of us are required to deliver on our promises. Today, I am very humbled that our people have entrusted me with this new assignment; I shall exert all of my efforts to live up to this confidence reposed in me!

In closing, it would be remiss of me, if I were to ignore the enormous contributions and sacrifices of all our supporters at home and abroad; and reaffirm my undiluted confidence in the leadership and stewardship of His Excellency, Joseph Nyumah Boakai, Sr., our President and Leader of this great nation. We also express gratitude to Our international partners and friends of Liberia, civil society organizations, non-governmental organizations, religious institutions, the youth, the media, the people of Liberia and all other stakeholders who continue to work to protect our fledgling democracy and contribute to our Nation’s growth and development.

As we strive to enhance our Nation’s place amongst the comity of Nations, may we never forget that the most important ingredient for Nation building is PEACE. I remain optimistic that we will continue to pursue the path of true reconciliation and National unity, in the interest of the People of the Republic of Liberia.

I thank you

Tanker Explosion _ Many Feared Dead

No fewer than 40 people in Liberia are tragically presumed dead after a tanker truck transporting petroleum products crashed and exploded near Totota on Wednesday.

The horrific incident sent shockwaves through the nation, casting a dark shadow over the year-end festivities.

Dr. Francis Kateh, Liberia’s chief medical officer, confirmed the grim estimate to local media, acknowledging the difficulty in verifying the exact number of casualties due to the fire’s intensity.

Local reports said the tanker overturned in a ditch roughly 80 miles from the capital, Monrovia, triggering the devastating explosion.

Frantic search efforts are reportedly underway, with medical teams diligently checking homes for missing individuals. Initial reports from police indicated 15 confirmed fatalities and at least 30 injured, with many suffering burns from the inferno.

The tragedy took a devastating turn when residents, unaware of the dangers, attempted to gather leaking fuel from the overturned tanker. According to Malvin Sackor, a police officer, this desperate act triggered the explosion, adding to the mounting casualties.

Eyewitness accounts paint a picture of chaos and desperation, with some people climbing onto the tanker and even using tools to extract fuel. Despite warnings from the driver about the inherent risks, the lure of gasoline amidst fuel shortages proved too strong for some, local media reported.

Kindly follow the video.

Lisa Diasay Wins FeJAL’s Presidency

Ms. Lisa Tenneh Diasay, the Chief Executive Officer of A-MU-WLU Communications Inc., owner of Women’s TV-Liberia and an experienced Liberian female journalist, has won the Presidency of the Female Journalists Association of Liberia (FeJAL), the umbrella organization of female journalists in Liberia.

FeJAL held her elections Friday, December 15, 2023, and this brought to birth the victory of Ms. Diasay, following a landslide victory after she accumulated 156 votes, ahead of her opponent Ms. Dennise Nimpson, who obtained 62 votes.

She (Lisa) ascends to FeJAL’s leadership along with her Vice President, Ms. Oretha B. Seh of ECOWAS Radio. As the recent elections bring an end to Madam Siatta Scott Johnson’s term as President of the Association, Lisa becomes her (Siatta) successor. She (Lisa), along with other officials will spearhead the affairs of FeJAL for the next three years, with an apt interest in rebranding the institution.

Cognizant of the Association’s weaknesses, Lisa’s team vigorously campaigned on a five-pillar platform, that includes: Capacity Development, Accountability & Transparency, Networking & Partnership Opportunities, Digitalization & Rebranding 0f Fejal, and Decentralization Of FeJAL Interventions. Ms. Lisa Diasay, is a Feminist and certified Human Rights Defender. She has a demonstrable diverse range of expertise and a steadfast commitment to social justice and equality in her native Liberia.

As a courageous journalist, she has made a significant impact by shedding light on important issues and amplifying marginalized voices across a broad spectrum. Her dedication to feminist principles, values and human rights advocacy has garnered enviable recognition and respect both locally and internationally.

With more than a decade of professional experience in Electronic, Print, Online Media, and Media development, among other fields, Ms. Diasay has consistently been at the forefront of media innovation and women empowerment. Education has consistently held a paramount position in Lisa's life. In 2009, she achieved graduation honors from the Carver Mission Academy in ELWA, Paynesville, emerging as one of the top students in her class.

Throughout her academic journey, she consistently secured a place on the honor list and earned various prestigious ranks within her alma mater. Following her high school education, Lisa pursued her passion for journalism, characterized by profound storytelling, and the empowerment of local voices by enrolling in and successfully completing courses at the Jireh School of Journalism in Monrovia.

Pursuant to her zest for greater and proessional knowledge, in 2017, Lisa meritoriously earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Mass Communication from African Methodists Episcopal University (AMEU) and received a Certificate from the Coca-Cola Innovation Institute as a distinguished scholar and President. Ms. Diasay holds numerous professional diplomas and certificates in areas such as Public Procurement, Records Management, Peace and Conflict Prevention, and media development. Additionally, she is a young diplomat affiliated with the Kofi Annan Living Memorial Program.

Determined more than ever before to face the trappings of an increasingly competitive job market, Ms. Diasay is currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Sustainable Development at the Cuttington University School of Graduate and Professional Studies. In this brief yet intensive period of study, she has gained a comprehensive understanding of the intricate interplay between social, economic, and environmental factors.

Lisa's academic foundation equips her to address her professional endeavors with a profound appreciation for the complexities inherent in sustainable development and its intersection with human rights.
In addition to her academic pursuits, Lisa has shared her professional experience with several institutions, including King’s FM, UNMIL Radio, Insight News, FrontPageAfrica, One Star News Network, Monrovia Times, The Africa Probe Newspaper, among others. She has also provided consultancy services to various institutions.

As a proactive measure to advance the achievement of Goal 5 of the Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on gender equality and equal participation, Ms. Diasay has leveraged her media expertise to create Women’s TV-Liberia, the sole online women's television platform in Liberia. This initiative is dedicated to empowering women, amplifying their narratives, and championing gender equality. Through Women’s TV-Liberia, Lisa has been instrumental in challenging established gender norms, patriarchal systems, and actively advocating for the rights of women and minorities.

Beyond her work in journalism and media, Lisa Tenneh Diasay is a passionate climate justice activist. She recognizes the urgent need to address environmental issues and their impact on human well-being. Through her advocacy efforts, she seeks to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable practices and the need for collective action to combat climate change. Her work in this field has earned her accolades and made her a prominent voice for environmental conservation.

Lisa Tenneh Diasay's steadfast commitment to journalism, feminism, human rights, sustainable development, and climate justice exemplifies her fervor for forging a more equitable and sustainable world. Through her relentless endeavors to confront societal norms, empower marginalized communities, and advocate for environmental conservation, she has emerged as a prominent figure in Liberia, serving as an inspiration to countless aspiring activists and change-makers.
Lisa believes that the world remains unequal if it takes compromise to give people their rights; if it takes money to respect the individual; if it takes a political deal to give people freedom, and if it takes a survey to remove repression.

Moreover, Ms. Diasay's impactful work has garnered acclaim both at home and abroad, earning recognition from prominent rights groups such as Defend Defenders and Frontline Defenders. These accolades have translated into grants and support that enable her to empower journalists and women human rights defenders in Liberia, steadfastly advocating for their rights and uplifting local communities. In a recent achievement, Lisa secured a grant from the International Women Media Foundation to enhance media coverage on online violence against women in politics. Furthermore, her contributions extend to bolstering the visibility of various local civil society and media organizations in Liberia, including the Women NGO Secretariat of Liberia (WONGOSOL) and SisterAid, among others.
