B**g County District #5 Representative hopeful Silas Kpanan A’young Siakor has officially declared his membership for the Liberian People’s Party (LPP) of Tiawan Saye Gongloe, a renowned human rights lawyer.

In 2017 Silas Kpanan A’young Siakor contested as an independent candidate and finished second to Representative Edward W. Karfiah who is now expecting to contest as senator for B**g County in the impending 2023 elections.

At an occasion attended by several of Mr. Siakor’s supporters in Suakoko Town over the weekend, Silas K. Siakor said he decided to join the LPP because he believes that he, Cllr. Gongloe and officials of the LPP share similar views about how Liberia can be transformed to positively impact its citizens.

Siakor lamented that many Liberians especially most of those in government believe that corruption is a part of life and cannot be eradicated from the country, something he said is untrue.

Mr. Siakor promised to stand with Cllr. Gongloe when they both are elected to fight corruption in all sectors of the Liberian society.

He said when Cllr. Gongloe is inducted as president in January 2024; he will lobby with him (Cllr. Gongloe), the minister of internal affairs, and the election commission to conduct elections for the local leaders in District #5.
Siakor further noted that lawmakers and top government officials are in the constant habit of threatening local leaders with dismissal or suspension in most cases because of policy or political disagreement.

He said when the local leaders are elected they will make independent judgments and become more accountable to those who elected them.

Former United States President Donald Trump has announced the launch of his own social media platform, nine months after being expelled from all major sites for his role in allegedly inciting violence at the US Capitol following his election defeat last year.

In a statement on Wednesday, Trump said the launch of Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) and its “TRUTH Social” app is meant to remedy his suspensions from sites such as Facebook and Twitter in the wake of the January 6 storming of the Capitol by his supporters as legislators met to certify the victory of the Republican’s Democratic rival, incumbent President Joe Biden.

“We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American President has been silenced. This is unacceptable,” Trump said in the written statement included in a news release.

“I am excited to send out my first TRUTH on TRUTH Social very soon. TMTG was founded with a mission to give a voice to all. I’m excited to soon begin sharing my thoughts on TRUTH Social and to fight back against Big Tech,” he said.

The social network is set for a preliminary rollout in November and a full rollout in the first quarter of 2022, according to the release. It is being created through a new company formed by a merger of the TMTG and a special acquisition company.

The social media platform is the first of the three stages in the company’s plans, followed by a subscription video-on-demand service called TMTG+ that will feature entertainment, news and podcasts, and an entry to the cloud-computing space, according to the release.

Trump, who was impeached by the US House of Representatives for his role in egging on rioters on January 6, but later acquitted of the charges in the then Republican-controlled US Senate, has been vocal about his desire to launch his own media platform following his presidency.

An earlier effort to launch a blog on his existing website was abandoned after the page drew dismal views.

In May, a semi-independent Facebook oversight board upheld Trump’s suspension from the site, on which he had about 35 million followers, while criticising the open-ended nature of the ban and calling for the company to determine a more concrete timeline of the ban within six months.

In July, Trump sued Facebook, Twitter and Google, along with their chief executives, seeking the restoration of his accounts and punitive damages.
