Tunisias Parliament Voting on Milestone Constitution

World News

Tunisias 2011 revolution inspired other Arab spring uprisings

(BBC) - Tunisias national assembly has begun voting on a long-delayed new constitution. It is to be voted on article-byarticle and politicians hope it will be adopted by 14 January the third anniversary of the 2011 revolution. The hope is that its adoption will help end the stalemate between the countrys opposing political factions. The assassinations of two opposition figures last year pushed the country into a dangerous political crisis. Correspondents say the new constitution will be a major milestone in the countrys democratic transition. It has taken more than two years to agree on a draft text. We are prepared to work three sessions a day to get this constitution passed, Amel Azzouz Ennahdha,member of the national assembly. The 217-seat national assembly was elected in October 2011 and was supposed to have adopted a new constitution within a year. But deep divisions between the then-governing moderate Islamist Ennahda party and the opposition, aggravated by last years political assassinations, have delayed the process. Ennahda condemned the killings but the opposition accused it of failing to rein in Islamists. Towards the end of last year, Ennahda and its rivals agreed on an interim administration to govern until elections, expected within six months of passing the new constitution. Journalist Naveena Kottoor in the capital, Tunis, says politicians have chosen a symbolic deadline to finalise the post-revolutionary constitution, though many ordinary Tunisians are disappointed with the political process and few believed the vote would actually go ahead. An article needs the agreement of two-thirds of the national assemblys members to be passed However, there is some real political momentum behind this vote, assembly members are positive that they will be able to meet the deadline, she told the BBCs Focus on Africa programme.

(BBC) - The number of internally displaced people in the Central African Republic (CAR) has more than doubled to 935,000 since December, the UN says. Around 500,000 have fled their homes in the capital Bangui alone - almost half the citys population. Some 60% of those displaced are children. The UN also warned the escalating violence was hampering efforts to reach those in need of urgent assistance. The conflict has pitted Christian and Muslim militias against each other. Muslim ex-rebel leader Michel Djotodia who seized power last March, forcing then-President Francois Bozize, who came from the majority Christian population, to flee into exile, rules the CAR. The African Union has sent nearly 4,000 troops while France, the former colonial power, has also deployed 1,600 soldiers there. Many foreign governments have begun to evacuate their citizens.

Our staff report that people are hiding in the bush, fearing fresh attacks, the agency said in a statement. Medecins Sans Frontieres has been forced to drastically reduce its activities It said the number of people sheltering at a makeshift camp at Bangui airport had doubled to around 100,000 over the last week. The UN said additional and more effective troops were needed as a matter of urgency. French and African Union troops at the airport have been unable to provide sufficient protection for aid deliveries to be flown out to surrounding areas. The UN is seeking $152m (92m) for a 100-day emergency plan to tackle the humanitarian crisis. Medecins Sans Frontieres, the only medical provider at the Bangui airport camp, confirmed it had been forced to drastically reduce its activities there following two days of shooting, which killed two children and wounded dozens of people. The charity said it was now treating only the most severe cases. Earlier this week, the UN warned the violence had sunk

(BBC) - Eleven people have died in clashes between police and Muslim Brotherhood demonstrators across Egypt, the health ministry says. The Muslim Brotherhood put the death toll at 17. Dozens of people, including police, have been wounded. The deaths were reported in the capital Cairo and the cities of Alexandria, Fayoum and Ismailia. Authorities have recently intensified a crackdown on the movement, which has been declared a terrorist group.

The health ministry said 52 people had been wounded in the clashes, with several people reported injured by birdshot in Alexandria. The latest clashes come a day after two people were killed in violence at an Islamist demonstration in the northern coastal city. Supporters of the Brotherhoods ousted President Mohammed Morsi have held frequent protests since he was removed by the military in July.

Evacuation wait Thousands of foreign nationals are still waiting to be evacuated; including an estimated 2,000 Nigerians camped out in the Nigerian embassy grounds in Bangui. The UN has called for an increase of French and African Union troops Abubakar Abba Kasum, a Nigerian living in Bangui, told the BBCs Hausa Service that Nigerians had been gathering at the embassy for the last 15 days and the situation was becoming unhygienic. Embassy officials had told them that two planes with capacity to take 1,100 people in total were due to land in Bangui on Friday, Mr Kasum said. They were told more planes would be sent to collect those not on the first flights, he said. Thousands of Chadians living in the CAR have already fled abroad in recent weeks. They have been accused by some of backing Mr Djotodias forces. Similar accusations have been levelled against the Chadian contingent of the African peacekeeping force in the CAR.

(BBC) - The US secretary of state has said the US will help Iraq fight al-Qaeda-linked militants, but that it is not planning to send troops back to the country. John Kerry said he was confident the government of Iraqi PM Nouri Maliki could defeat the militants. Earlier, the Iraqi government said it had lost control of the key city of Fallujah, west of Baghdad. Al-Qaeda-linked militants now control the south of the city, a security source told the BBC. Iraqi officials said they had lost control to the militant group, the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, known as ISIS. (BBC) - Cubans have reacted with shock after foreign-made cars went on sale for the first time since the 1959 revolution at what some termed crazy prices. The state has a monopoly on new car sales and has set massive mark-ups. A Peugeot 508 is listed at $262,000. Peugeots UK website puts prices from $29,000. State salaries in Cuba average about $20 a month. Freeing up car sales is the latest in a series of reforms. A permit to buy new vehicles is now no longer required.

A Sinaibased Salafist-jihadist group, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, said it was behind the bombing, which killed at least 15 people. Mr Morsis government - the first to be democratically elected in Egypt - was toppled on 3 July following widespread antiBrotherhood demonstrations. Since then, thousands of Brotherhood members, including its leadership, had been arrested and many put on trial. The ousted president is on trial on several charges, including incitement to murder.

(BBC)- Libya has restarted oil production at the El Sharara field in the south of the troubled country after protesters ended a blockade, Reuters reports. The National Oil Corporation said that it was shipping the equivalent of 60,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd). It hopes to reach the fields maximum output capacity of around 340,000 bpd within three days. Blockades of oil terminals since July have severely restricting exports of oil, Libyas main source of income.

African Migrants Protest Against Maltreatments in Israel

The BBCs Richard Galpin in Jerusalem says the protest was prompted by the new law on detention, which had dashed hopes that a recent crackdown would be halted. The migrants, some of whom have been in Israel for years and have taken low-paid jobs, say they are all refugees who have fled persecution and conflict back home in Eritrea and Sudan. Police said the marchers were peaceful A new detention law is one of the major grievances They say their only choice will be either to spend time in prison in Israel or agree to return home. The dangers in their home countries mean they cannot be forcibly returned.

Thousands of migrants packed into Rabin Square in Tel Aviv

(BBC) - Thousands of African migrants have marched in the city of Tel Aviv to protest against their treatment by the Israeli government. The protesters, mostly Eritreans and Sudanese, are angry about a law that allows illegal immigrants to be detained for a year without trial. They demanded the right to work legally and for their asylum bids to be processed. An Israeli police spokeswoman said the march was peaceful. We are all refugees and Yes to freedom, no to prison! they chanted.

The migrants said they would hold further demonstrations outside UN offices and foreign embassies in Tel Aviv on Monday. An Israeli official said the authorities would continue to deal with people who, as she put it, had infiltrated Israel, adding that more than 2,600 had agreed to leave voluntarily last year. Ultra-Orthodox MP Eli Yishai said the migrants had been encouraged by anti-Zionist human rights organisations. He told the Maariv daily the protest was a sharp and clear cry for the state of Israel and judicial and law enforcement authorities to apply all the means at their disposal to return the infiltrators to their countries.

Leabeh Gbowee explaining the effect of the dust on the campus

---Catholic Priest Urges Couples

Live in Harmony

t least 820 students of the Ann Sandell Independent School, along the Police Academy Road in Paynesville, cannot return to classes today, as dust from the unpaved road has completely overtaken their campus and community. The 24-classroom building, which includes offices and reading rooms, has been clouded with dust making it very difficult for instructional activities to take place.

By Judoemue M. Kollie

Our reporter, who visited the community over the weekend, noticed that the dust in the area was produced from the Police Academy Road; which is yet to be paved by the government. The government started the road construction project since October last year. In an exclusive interview, the proprietress of the school, Leabeh Gbowee, said the schools administration has decided to suspend classes indefinitely due to the situation. She said that the parents have

been informed of the decision. According to her, the extreme dust on the campus started a weeks ago. The dust in this area is being produced due to the deplorable road conditions of the Police Academy road. It is nearly impossible to run classes with this campus in such a condition. Therefore, we have concluded that students should remain at their homes until something can be done, Ms. Gbowee explained. She said convening classes for the students could create a serious health hazard. The dust is producing a serious cold for many of us living in this community. All of our cooking utensils and clothes need constant washing, she said detailing her frustration. We want the government to come quickly and find a

solution to the problem to allow our students to return for school, she added. Ms. Gbowee explained the school was established in 1994 to give education to less fortunate children in the community. The school is an initiative of my family. We intend to help parents who cannot afford high tuition, she stated. Henry Wehyee, a motorcyclist in Police Academy told this paper that the dust makes movement difficult for them and pedestrians. We find it very hard to ride on this road because we cant see ahead. Our passengers complain about the dust causing serious problem as they ride on the bikes, he detailed. The proprietress of the M. Plaza Restaurant, Lucy Flomo, stated that that the dust has prevented people from visiting her establishment. I am losing customers as a result of this problem, she said angrily.

Sinoe Youth Denies Media Report on Planned Demonstration

press release from a group of young people calling itself the Bataw Youth Association from Bataw District, Sinoe County has denied media reports of a demonstration planned by its members to stop Golden Veroleum Liberia (GVL) from operating in their county. According to the release, it was reported recently in both two local dailies that youths in Butaw District were planning to demonstrate against GVL operations. The articles in both papers disclosed the youth were threatening to call on government to suspend GVL activities because the company was not committed to the concession agreement signed with the Liberian Government. The release stated that at a recent press conference, the spokesperson of the youth group, Chea Blamoh, described the report as false and misleading without an iota of truth. Blamoh explained through the release, We the executives and members of Butaw Youth Association were not only dismayed by the reports from the two local dailies, but also disappointed in the reporters and editors of these newspapers for not having the second thought of contacting us for confirmation of such news before publication.

Mr. and Mrs. Boakai Curley, newly wedded couple showcasing a different style of wedding dress code in Liberia

By Judoemue M. Kollie

Catholic Priest has urged married couples in the country to maintain there marital vows by living in harmony with each other. Rev. Fr. Francis Johnson, priest of St. Anthony Parish in Gardnerville, outside Monrovia made the statement recently when he performed the wedding ceremony of Ms. Famatta Cole Dukuly and Mr. Francis Boakai Curley as husband and wife. The wedding program was attended by officials of government and the couples families and friends. According to Rev. Fr. Johnson, God gives married couples the grace they need to live together as a family, he adding that, it is a Biblical duty for husband and wife to fulfill the promise of God for the family. He warned the couples and all others that marriage was not an institution to fondle with; stressing: When you are not ready please go and sit down. The Catholic priest also

By David A. Yates

admonished the couple to be faithful to each other and put God first in everything that they do because with God all things are possible. Rev. Johnson also called on mothers and fathers to advise their children on marriage, instead of leaving them to make wrong decisions on their own. Over the past years, love has vanished, marriage has faltered, and children have been harmed by other socalled foster parents, said Fr. Johnson. Meanwhile, Mr. Francis Boakai Curley, Human Resources Officer of the United Nations High Commission on Refugees (UNHCR) assigned in Kenya and groom, urged youths to be careful in selecting their partners for life. Behind every successful man, there is a strong woman, he said. Mr. Curley acknowledged his wife by saying she is everything to him and that he is proud of her one-hundred percent.

Today, we have come to inform the people of Liberia that no member of Butaw Youth Association has and ever will plan to demonstrate; not to mention stop the operations of GVL in Butaw or anywhere in Sinoe, Our leadership wants to clearly state that those quoted in the report (Stanley Nimey and Edward Tarpeh) did not attend the meeting with Cllr. Brownell and are neither member of the Butaw Youth Association nor are they residents of Butaw. Mr. Blamoh asserted in the release. It further explained that during the meeting with Cllr. Brownell on December 18, 2013, he told the gathering that the youth of Butaw would engage the management of GVL to provide a response to Cllr. Brownells version of the draft MOU within seven days. It added that Blamohs statement at the time was as a result of Cllr. Alfred Brownell saying that GVL failed to respond to his version of the proposed MOU, something he labeled as the cause of delays in the negotiation process. Though, we had an issue or two with GVL in the past due to an information gap between us and the company, we have come to understand what we did not know previously. Therefore, we are willing to give GVL more land for the expansion of its operation in Butaw, said the release furthering Blamohs statement.

n Thursday, January 2, a fire in the Bypass community rendered residents of a threestorey building homeless and damaged over 5,000 US dollars worth of property. Speaking to the owner of the house, Mohammed M. Sheriff, Sr., said the cause of the fire is yet to be established, explaining that I was only called to come quickly because the house was on fire. Mr. Sheriff called on the government of Liberia to help focus on electricity hazards in the country, adding that most fires can be attributed to poor quality electrical wiring in various neighborhoods in the country. According to him the recent prevalence of fires must be seen as an important national issue because they have rendered many people homeless. He also urged the general public to take advantage of light provided by the Liberia electricity cooperation and called on Liberian desist from the use of illegal current and candles that could destroy lives and homes. Mr. Sheriff also expressed

By Alvin Worzi

gratitude to the National Fire Service and the community for their quick involvement in the fighting of the fire at his building. An occupant of the burnt house, AB sheriff, said over 950 US dollars, an HP laptop worth LD$6,000, along with all of his documents and office information was burned into ashes. Mr. Sheriff is calling on concerned individual and the government of Liberia to come to his rescue, saying, I lost everything and need help from those that are in a better position. He said Me, my daughter and my two grandchildren stay in this room; now all we had is gone and we will have to start over. Another affected person in the house, Abraham Kenneh, said he left US$1,500 in the room doing the incident, which he described as a setback for his family. Most of the money I lost in the burning of the house is my older sisters, and I usually kept it while we continued doing business, he stated. Mr. Kenneh is calling on the government and concerned individuals to come to his aid.

Konnehs Declaration on GOL Office Furniture: Where Are We?

Over a year ago Finance Minister Amara Konneh made a heartwarming declaration that lifted the spirits of Liberian furniture makers around the country. He said the government, as a matter of priority, would make it a policy to equip all GOL offices with locally produced furniture. In a recent editorial we stated that the government, which is the biggest employer in most countries, is the one institution that lifts all boats. Just imagine what terrific impact Minister Konnehs declaration would have had, had it been implemented forthwith. It would have energized the nations carpenters and cabinet makers and got them busy planning, organizing, designing and producing every imaginable furniture piece needed in government offices around the country. The vocational schools, including the Booker Washington Institute (BWI) and the Monrovia Vocational Training Center (MVTC), too, would have gotten into the act, and busied their students in both training and production to meet the ever growing demands. We are reminded of Minister Konnehs declaration by our Senior Reporter C.Y. Kwanues article on the Gompa United Wood Association (GUWA), published in our Friday, January 3 edition. During his tour of the associations facilities, he was impressed with their creativity and resourcefulness. The US$35,000 loan for which they applied through the Central Bank of Liberias loan empowerment program for Liberian businesses is shortly to be disbursed. However, the associations leaders have gone ahead and installed an improvised wood processing facility using fuel oil to help process the wood. Wood processing is important so that whatever furniture is produced will be long-lasting. We commend the Gompa United Wood Association for their vision and initiative and we pray that they will remain UNITED and conscientiously pursue their objectives so that their customers and the whole nation, including local customers, the banks and the Liberian government, will take them seriously. GUPAs success will inspire other carpenters and woodworkers around the country to unite and work together to effectively implement the broad vision of turning Liberia into world-class furniture producer. Alas! We observe that GOL agencies are still advertizing bids for imported furniture. This is why we ask, how serious has the Finance Minister taken his declaration? The naysayers will quickly dismiss the goal of locally produced furniture as another empty dream; but we say this dream is based on something concrete that we have seen, something that is being done that has promise. Being undertaken in faraway Ganta, we feel it is important for the GOL, especially Finance Minister Konneh and his co-workers and other stakeholders, to move quickly and give encouragement to GUWA. At the policy level, the GOL should seriously consider imposing, at some appropriate point, a moratorium (halt) on imported furniture. This could be a tangible way of encouraging local production. In addition, GOL should, as a matter of deliberate policy, work through the Ministry of Education and the Booker Washington Institute to recruit cabinet making experts from the sub-region and abroad to boost the staff BWIs Wood Work Department. When this is done, Liberians from all over the country could come and improve their skills on furniture manufacture. Should this proposal be agreeable to Minister Konneh, money could be found to beef up the Departments shop equipment, so as to enable the trainees to leapfrog into efficient furniture manufacture. Liberia has the wood. All we need is the training and soon, there would be no need to import furniture into Liberia.

The Best, Brightest, and Least Productive?

fits. But, as economists like to point out, traders and speculators provide a useful service. They sort through information about businesses and (at least some of the time) try to judge their real worth. They are thus helping to allocate societys resources to the best uses that is, to the most promising businesses. But these peoples activities also impose costs on the rest of us. Indeed, a 2011 paper by Patrick Bolton, Tano Santos, and Jos Scheinkman argues that a significant amount of speculation and deal-making is pure rent-seeking. In other words, it is wasteful activity that achieves nothing more than enabling the collection of rents on items that might otherwise be free. The classic example of rent-seeking is that of a feudal lord who installs a chain across a river that flows through his land and then hires a collector to charge passing boats a fee (or rent of the section of the river for a few minutes) to lower the chain. There is nothing productive about the chain or the collector. The lord has made no improvements to the river and is helping nobody in any way, directly or indirectly, except himself. All he is doing is finding a way to make money from something that used to be free. If enough lords along the river follow suit, its use may be severely curtailed. Those in other finance often engage in similar behavior. They skim the best business deals, creating a negative externality on those who are not party to them. If the bad assets that they reject for example, the subprime mortgage securities that fueled the 2008 financial crisis are created anyway and foisted on less knowledgeable investors, financiers contribute no more to society than a lord who installs a chain across a river. In a forthcoming paper, Patrick Bolton extends this view to look at bankers and at the Glass-Steagall Act, which forbade commercial banks from engaging in a wide variety of activities classified

NEW HAVEN Are too many of our most talented people choosing careers in finance and, more specifically, in trading, speculating, and other allegedly unproductive activities? In the United States, 7.4% of total compensation of employees in 2012 went to people working in the finance and insurance industries. Whether or not that percentage is too high, the real issue is that the share is even higher among the most educated and accomplished people, whose activities may be economically and socially useless, if not harmful. In a survey of elite US universities, Catherine Rampell found that in 2006, just before the financial crisis, 25% of graduating seniors at Harvard University, 24% at Yale, and a whopping 46% at Princeton were starting their careers in financial services. Those percentages have fallen somewhat since, but this might be only a temporary effect of the crisis. According to a study by Thomas Philippon and Ariell Reshef, much of the increase in financial activity has taken place in the more speculative fields, at the expense of traditional finance. From 1950 to 2006, credit intermediation (lending, including traditional banking) declined relative to other finance (including securities, commodities, venture capital, private equity, hedge funds, trusts, and other investment activities like investment banking). Moreover, wages in other finance skyrocketed relative to those in credit intermediation. We surely need some people in trading and speculation. But how do we know whether we have too many? To some people, the question is a moral one. Trading against others is regarded as an inherently selfish pursuit, even if it might have indirect societal bene-

as investment banking. Ever since the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 repealed Glass-Steagall, bankers have acted increasingly like feudal lords. The Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 introduced a measure somewhat similar to the GlassSteagall prohibition by imposing the Volcker Rule, which bars proprietary trading by commercial banks, but much more could be done. To many observers, Glass-Steagall made no sense. Why shouldnt banks be allowed to engage in any business they want, at least as long as we have regulators to ensure that the banks activities do not jeopardize the entire financial infrastructure? In fact, the main advantages of the original Glass-Steagall Act may have been more sociological than technical, changing the business culture and environment in subtle ways. By keeping the deal-making business separate, banks may have focused more on their traditional core business. Bolton and his colleagues seem to be right in many respects, though economic research has not yet permitted us to estimate the value to society of so many of our best and brightest making their careers in the currently popular kinds of other finance. Speculative activities have plusses and minuses, much that is good and some that is bad, and these are very difficult to quantify. We need to be very careful about regulations that impinge on such activities, but we should not shy away from making regulations once we have clarity. Robert J.

Press Statement by Miatta H. Flowers, Commissioner of the Township of West Point INVITATION FOR BIDS FOR THE PROCUREMENT OF GOODS (Purchase of Vehicles) IFB No: NHA/NCB/003/13/14
1. The National Housing Authority is receiving income from its operations for the Fiscal Year 2013-2014 and intends to apply portion of the same toward the procurement of Vehicles. 2. The National Housing Authority now invites sealed bids from eligible registered bidders for the supply of vehicles for the Fiscal year 2013-2014. 3. Bidding will be conducted through the National Competitive Bidding method as enshrined in the PPCA and is open to all eligible bidders within the Republic of Liberia. 4. Specification & Quantity

want to use this medium to respond to the allegation made by Mr. Richard B. Kieh on one of the local radio outlets where Mr. Kieh referred to me as a drug dealer and an operative of a drug cartel.

I want to use this time to inform the public that such information is totally untrue and misleading. I also want to call on Mr. Kieh to prove such information in a court of competent jurisdiction because it has the propensity to tarnish my hard earn character which I have built over the years. Finally, I will also clarify the issue of the various beaches being used as an area for depositing of corpses. This is also far from the reality, because the Liberia Maritime Authority has 501 contractors that are responsible to clean and maintain the beaches on a daily basis. In addition to the contractors, there are security personnel deployed at the various beaches to prevent misuse of the beaches and are working in collaboration with the LNP and the Magisterial Court within the Township. This is evidenced by the statistics from the Star of the Sea clinic in West Point that shows a rapid reduction in diarrhea cases for the past two years. I want to assure the people of West Point that I will remain focused and steadfast as we all strive towards the development of our community. Happy New Year and may the Almighty God bless the people of West Point.

A detailed specification is provided in the Technical Specification section of the bidding document. Qualification requirements include: i. Articles of Incorporation ii. Valid Tax Clearance iii.

Konneh is Africas Finance Minister of the Year

-Banker Magazine Says

iberias Minister of Finance Mr Amara Konneh has been unanimously selected Africas 2914th Finance Minister of the Year, by the editorial board of Banker Magazine, a subsidiary of Financial Times Magazine. The prestigious recognition is expected to be delivered next week in London, ahead of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on January 24, 2014. In a letter addressed to Mr. Konneh, the publisher of the Banker Magazine wrote I am delighted to tell you that for our January 2014 edition, you have been chosen Africas Finance Minister of the Year. The publisher noted that the decision was made after discussions among the magazines editors and a survey of views among bankers and economists, and therefore represents a vote of confidence by the markets in the role played by the Liberian Ministry of Finance over the past year. Many congratulations to you and your colleagues, the Magazines editor added. In particular, The Banker noted the wide-ranging economic reforms that are being carried out to develop Liberias institutions, infrastructure and financial system. The Banker also pointed out that Konneh has embarked on a series of reforms both at the Ministry of Finance and within the broader financial and fiscal environment, introducing several economic and fiscal programs and instruments that have helped to stabilize the economy. Amara Konneh was appointed Liberias 25th Minister of Finance in January 2012, charged with the daunting task of transforming the economy that is recovering from one of the worst economic collapses and creating jobs, shortly after the 2011 elections of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf for a second term. He has since coordinated the formulation and launching of the administrations five-year

development strategy, the Agenda for Transformation (AfT), its second povertyreduction strategy, and the first step towards its Vision 2030 that lays the foundation for turning Liberia into an inclusive middle-income country by 2030. The AfT will attempt to remove structural development obstacles through an estimated US$3.2 billion program, more than half of which is planned for roads and energy. Minister Konneh has presided over macroeconomic stability over the past two years in the midst of sluggish global economic growth that had negative implications for the Liberian economy. He has presided over a massive public investment in key economic infrastructure projects while attracting millions in grants and concessional loans to fund the AfT. To support the growth envisioned in the governments mediumterm growth strategy, (AfT) he quickly introduced a Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF), a multi-year rolling budget framework that began in fiscal year 2012/2013 and saw an increase in public investments from a mere 7% of the budget to about 25% to finance critical economic infrastructure projects. Through an aggressive mobilization of domestic and external financing, Konneh has led the governments efforts that have raised US$2 billion to support the AfT, energy, roads, ports and agriculture. The most significant project is the restoration of electricity to the country, construction of major highways to connect Liberias key economic corridors and rehabilitation of the Greenville Port and the main international airport. Most of the funding secured so far constitutes grants with about 20% in concessional loans to various lenders including the World Bank, the African Development Bank (AfDB) and other bilateral financing.

Finance Minister Amara Konneh According to the Bankers Magazine, Liberias fiscal policy has broadly supported macroeconomic stability through Minister Konnehs leadership. Government budgets have more than doubled since 2008, as government service provision has expanded with the economy. Until 2012, budgets were broadly balanced, with primary deficits below 2% of GDP. Since Minister Konneh introduced the MTEF, overspending on key economic infrastructure resulted in an estimated 5.8% deficit, which has been paid off by the Ministry of Finance. He has also ensured full compliance with the Public Financial Management Act, by implementing its core regulations. He also has overseen robust PFM reforms including enhancement of cash management procedures, wage bill reforms, fiscal decentralization, downsizing the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) to twenty ministries, and the General Auditing Commission (GAC). Through his leadership, PFM reforms are generally on track with a revision for the PFM Strategy and Action Plan in the works. Liberia, under Mr. Konnehs stewardship, produced for the first time, a budget performance report (fiscal outturn) and a Consolidated Financial Statement for the Legislature and the President that is being audited by the General Auditing Commission--a crucial compliance requirements of the Public Financial Management Act. The recognition comes, when Liberia is celebrating 10 years of sustained peace and resurgent economic growth and development, propelled largely by sound economic and fiscal management policies spearheaded by one of the continents youngest cabinet member. Under his supersision, the Liberian economy grew an estimated 8.9% in 2012, led by the first full year of postconflict iron ore exports, buoyant construction, and strong performance in services. Liberias real GDP is projected to expand by 8.1% in 2013 and growth is projected to be impressive in 2014. It is estimated that between 25 to 30 thousand jobs have been created thus far by mining and agriculture concessions, and through labor-intensive employment programs financed by the government and donors. Liberia has also made impressive gains in other areas. Between 2011 and 2013 it climbed eight steps to 174 (out of 187) in the UNs Human Development Index and has risen 10 positions in the World Banks last two Ease of Doing Business reports, taking it above Tanzania and Nigeria. The Treasury Chief was also very instrumental in getting Liberias qualifications for the United States Governments Millennium Challenge Corporations (MCC) Country Threshold Program (TCP) and the Compact Program in 2009 and 2012. The TCP has supported critical reforms to increase girls primary education

completion; land rights and access; and develop a trade policy to facilitate Liberias accession to the World Trade Organization. These initiatives were supported with a US$15 million grant for the TCP of the MCC. As a reflection of the high performance of Liberias TCP, Liberia became eligible to develop a Compact Program, which will attract additional funding for key socioeconomic develop initiatives, in line with the AfT and the Millennium Development Goals. Konneh, speaking to the Observer via telephone, Konneh said the award was a tribute to the Presidents leadership, the work and dedication of the staff of the Ministries of Finance and Planning and Economic Affairs, and his colleagues across the government. We are flattered by this recognition and thank the President for her preferment. We hope this will reenergize the workforce and create the impetus necessary to drive our development agenda forward. There is no time for celebration, for we have a lot of work to do, he said. The Banker is the premier monthly magazine on global finance since 1926, and is owned by the Financial Times group. It is the mostread monthly financial magazine in Europe, with an influential worldwide audience of senior bank executives and financial policy-makers. This is the 13th year in which we have given awards to finance ministers, it pointed out.

view over the weekend, that the waiver was done in close consultations with the former employees of BMC, and the pronouncement is intended to sensitize the public, that neither the Government ,or any concession companies, shall henceforth, in no way or form, be indebted to ex-BMC workers. The Larblah committee, as of today, is expected to publish the names of 1,804 former employees, and is requesting anyone, who has not seen their name published, to proceed to the upper flat chamber of Oppongs Store at Red-light with documents to justify their inclusion. (See the names in the paper). The validation of the names will end on Saturday and hopefully, before on by the 15th of

commits the government to disbursing them. He said the signing of the MOU with the former BMC workers and the squatters marked the closure of a dark page in the economic history of Liberia. Konneh also assured the public that the concerned parties have made formal, legal commitments to evacuating the premises and no longer impede China Unions operations. He pointed out that once the housing units in Bong Mines and the railroad are rehabilitated and taken care of, China Union plans to increase its iron ore production from 50,000 metric tons to 800,000 metric tons within a year, thereby injecting billions of dollars into the economy. In the coming year or two, he said China Union will contribute about US$5 million a year in revenue to the governEnforcement Agency, Col. Anthony Souh, expressed gratitude to the (LNP) and Director Massaquoi for being vigilant in dealing with drug-trafficking in the country. Mr. Souh said, This is the kind of professionalism that has been lacking within the security sector; I want to assure the people of Liberia and the national police force of our cooperation in ensuring maximum results from our operaSweden, France and Norway opened embassies in Liberia in 2013. Egypt recalled Ambassador Adawy and Finland retired Aaron Milton as an Honorary Consul and replaced him by Markku Vesikko. The year 2013 also saw Liberia and Japan cementing their relations with the signing of a US50 million agreement for the reconstruction of the Somalia Drive, beginning from the Freeport of Monrovia to the ever-busy commercial district of Red-Light in Paynesville. Again, Foreign Minister Ngafuan noted that the reconstruction of this road will ease the traffic congestion in Monrovia and the initiative by Japan is an indication that Liberias partners are now assured of stable peace under the leadership of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. In addition, Japan sent a huge consignment of rice to Liberia for sale at a cheaper price to Liberians so that proceeds from sistence farming that allows a farmer to produce a small quantity to for himself for a few months. The former Nimba Superintendent said that producing rice has become expensive; so farmers are now shifting from growing food to producing rubber---a cash crop that brings income at any time. He said that equipment such as tractors and other machines could change the shift, dropping the cost of food dramatically. During an Agriculture Fair in Nimba, in 2006, we told the President we do not want gifts. We opted for tractors and land-clearing machinery. We are yet to get any result from this request. Preferring rubber to food has caused land-conflicts since some cash-croppers plant at random, with little regard to the ment for development purposes. According to Minister Konneh, China Union also plans on increasing its current employment of 232 Liberians to 459 Liberians in the span of one year. Earlier, the Chairman of the former BMC Employees Committee J. Jaye Larblah thanked the government of Liberia for agreeing to pay them off. Mr. Larblah, however, appealed to the government to press China Union to employ those former BMC workers that have the skills and are still strong enough to work. According to him, there is no need for the Chinese company to hire foreigners when Liberians are qualified for the job. tions. He described the effort of the (LNP) as timely and efficient. He praised the Director for arresting a uniformed officer with drugs, adding that no one is exempted from ongoing drug investigations. We will go after security officers and civilians; we will do whatever it takes. If a cat is able to devour its own, then we will go after our own (if necessary) when the time comes. the sale can help to promote the Agriculture sector. Post UN 2015 Meeting in Monrovia The Observers reflection of Liberias diplomacy in 2013 can be climaxed by the United Nations post-2015 stakeholders Meeting held early this year in February. Our Diplomatic Correspondent termed it as the peak of Liberias foreign relations in 2013, as top world leaders including British PM David Cameron and Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono came to Liberia, the first for a sitting British PM and that of the an Indonesian President. The Stakeholders Meeting, held at the Royal Grand Hotel, was aimed at assessing progress attained so far by the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and looking ahead to 2015, when those Goals should have ended. rights of others to a farmland. This, coupled with other land issues, has put the Land Commission on its feet, sensitizing citizens to Land Rights Laws of Liberia amid violence that over the years has been reported in Nimba, especially. Mr. Kamei lauded the Ministry of Internal Affairs for identifying districts in the counties to carry on Agriculture experiments which according to him is taking place in the Kparblee District of Nimba, his native county. Also commenting on animal farming, Mr. Kamei intoned that almost every Liberian eats beef; however, less than ten Liberian farmers engaged in cattle production with the rest coming from neighboring countries. He said this signals a bad omen for food-security in the country.

General of the Liberia National Police, Col. Clarence Chris Massaquoi, a team of highway patrol officers, headed by patrolman Jallah M.

January, payment of benefits for former BMC employees will begin, Mr. Larblah said. He added: About 90% of the former BMC employees had already taken their ID cards and we are informing those that did not, to go the upper dlat chamber of Oppongs Store. It may be recalled, the former BMC Workers claimed that the BMC Management owed them about US$17m, but the Government of Liberia agreed to pay US$13m. Legal representation by Cllr. Varney Sherman produced for the former BMC workers, US$4.1m, leaving a balance of US$8.9m. After over four years of silence, the former BMC workers began ending strike actions, when the multi- billion-concession company, China Union,

which is operating the erstwhile BMC, began operations. Fortunately, given the efforts of Trustees, Inter-ministerial Committees and the media, the Government of Liberia finally agreed to listen to the workers; pleas; most of the almost 2,000 workers are now in their 50s. On Wednesday, November 7, at the Ninth Floor Conference Room of the Finance Ministry, the Government of Liberia signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with former workers of the Bong Mining Company (BMC) agreeing to pay US$4 million to the workers in back wages. The money, according to Finance Minister Amara M. Konneh, is a lump sum payment to the former BMC workers to leave the old BMC facility and give way for China Union to commence full operations in the area. The government also signed another MOU with on drug trafficking, the LNP is gratified to inform the public that we have arrested PSU officer Sawon S. Doe. Mr. Doe was immediately dismissed from the LNP and turned over to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). He will be investigated and prosecuted. Director Massaquoi said that there are bad apples promoting corruption, and that many of them were officers within the Sino-Liberia Relations China is one main development partner to Liberias postwar recovery. It has financed and built some of Liberias recent modern structures, including the US$10 million Jackson F. Doe Referral Hospital in Tappita, Nimba County. It also built a modern, new University of Liberia Campus outside Monrovia. Its Ambassadors have awarded hundreds of foreign and local scholarships to Liberians both in the private and public sectors. The latest part of 2013 saw Chinese Ambassador Zhao Jianhua, under whose administration, Liberia got some of the biggest aid packages from China, going back to China after serving ending his tour of duty. Prior to his going, the Chinese Ambassador and the Liberian Government signed US$36 million bilateral agreement aimed at undertaking three projects including the erection and remodeling of the

squatters occupying the BMC facility in Bong Mines and the railroad to leave the area. According to the MOU, the Government will make the lump sum payments to the former BMC workers and the squatters beginning from December 15th to January 10th 2014. In the case of the squatters, the government agreed to pay US$500 to each of the 857 family heads between December 15th and January 10th 2014 as a one-time payment. This means that all of the squatters will receive a lumpsum payment of US$428,500, from the government. Speaking during the signing ceremony at the Ministry of Finance, Minister Amara Konneh thanked the former BMC workers and the squatters. He assured them that the monies were already allotted in the budget and this MOU LNP. He expressed his commitment to the enforcement of the law and maintenance of order as head of the LNP. He apologized to the Liberian people for the ongoing situation in the security sector, describing it as a blow to the community and an act undermining the polices trust in the rebuilding process of the country. Receiving the consignment of marijuana confiscated by the LNP, the Director of the Drug Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex and the construction of a new campus of the Monrovia Vocational Technical College (MVTC), along the Somalia Drive in Garnesville. Also, during his tour of duty, China agreed to a US$60 million Ministerial Complex for the Government of Liberia. This building when completed, it is expected to host at least 10 ministries. Chinese Amb. Zhao said during one of his press conferences that it (Ministerial Complex) is going to be the second of such building in Africa. The first is in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, also built by the Chinese. In a remark at the signing ceremony, Foreign Minister Augustine K. Ngafuan also lauded the Chinese Government for the complex project, which he said when completed the Liberian Government will no longer be a tenant in its own home. EU Nations & Others European countries including

occupants stepped down from the vehicle and were searched. During the search, marijuana with an estimated weight of 145Kg and valued at LD$966,000, was found. Director Massaquoi promised a reward to the vigilant police officers who made the drug-bust. As part of our crack-down

Chinese, Indians, Ghanaians, Nigerians, Guineans, and Sierra Leoneans amongst others are currently residing in Liberia; something that proves equal freedom for both Liberian citizens and foreigners enjoy in this land of Liberty. This in fact was one of the main tools used during the 2011 Presidential and General Elections to re-elect President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. During her first term, she restored Liberias international image among the comity of nations. Predicated upon the fact that Liberias blessings and glory lie in foreign hands, its relationship with international partners was highly strengthened in 2013 as new embassies were opened and some very friendly foreign diplomats ended their tour of duties and were recalled by their respective countries. On October 14, 2013, the United Kingdom reopened its embassy in Monrovia after 22 years of closure due to the Liberian civil crisis. British Parliamentarian and Minister for Africa, Mark Simmonds making a remark at the opening of the embassy said United Kingdom was confident of the peace in Liberia. He also stated that they were reopening their embassy on grounds that Liberia had celebrated 10 years of peace and the environment now depicts peaceful coexistence. Simmonds assured that they were making frantic effort to introduce the visa system that will allow travellers from Liberia to travel to the United Kingdom directly without having to go to a second country like Ghana or Nigeria to obtain a visa. For Foreign Minister Augustine K. Ngafuan, he described

Reflections

the relationship between Liberia and Great Britain as strong. Min. Ngafuan stated that Britain was the first to recognize Liberias independence and it was also the first country the first President of Liberia, Joseph Jenkins Roberts visited after Liberia declared its independence in 1847. Minister Ngafuan also recalled the visit of British Prime Minister David Cameron to Liberia in February of 2013 as one consolidating factor to Britain and Liberias relationship. US-Liberia Relations Liberias traditional ally, the United States of America, early 2013, recalled Ambassador Linda Thomas Greenfield, who had stayed for nearly four years in Liberia on diplomatic mission, and was replaced by Ambassador Deborah Malac. Amb. Greenfield was considered by many Liberians as a daughter of Liberia more than a diplomat. She had once lived in Liberia many years before she came as a diplomat. Germany-Liberia Relations On June 14, 2013, German Ambassador Bodo Schaff bid farewell to Liberia and in September his successor, Ralph Timmermann took over as Ambassador of Germany to Liberia. Germanys role in Liberias post-war recovery process is very essential. It is one of the European countries contributing to the restoration of the countrys damaged hydroelectric power, and it has over the years contributed to logistical supports for the Liberian National Police (LNP) and is supporting Agriculture project in south-east Liberia through the German based non-governmental organization, Welt Hungerhlife.

ment does not increase support to agriculture. Speaking to the Daily Observer on his farm in Nimba on New Years Day, Mr. Kamei, an agriculturist, said that farmers are producing a small quantity of rice at a very high cost without subsidy from government. At the same time, government is subsidizing imported rice which is drawing many to join in the importation of the product, rather than its growth, he said. He noted that because government is more attentive to the importation of rice and not domestically produced rice in the agriculture sector, it is highly probable that 100% of food needed for Liberians to eat will be imported.

Former Supt

Liberias staple food is rice, but much of the rice needed to feed the citizens is imported from China, India, Thailand, and sometimes the United States. Rice importers also complain of high cost of custom duties, and have petitioned government to introduced duty free import, but it is yet to work. This has contributed to the increase in the price of rice depending on the grade. For instance, American parboiled rice and others, said to be of high grade from exporting countries, are sold for US$40 or $50 depending on the location. Low-grade 100lbs of 25kg is sold for under US$20. Liberians, for a protracted period, have engaged in sub-

Lone Star: Looking forward for 2014

By Omari Jackson

hough the Amputee Lone Star soccer team took our shame in 2013, the regular Lone Star will have to gear itself together and set matters straight in 2014 and beyond. Last year, there was constant report that most of the players on the national team lacked discipline, and as a result they could not cope with instructions. The Kaetu Smith administration struggled with such a disease and many occasions players could not keep their discipline intact and broke camp or when they were expected to remain in their hotel rooms, they went elsewhere. There were also reports that the players would not take instructions on the field of play, and as a result they did what they felt was necessary on their own. But mind you these players would come all the way from Europe and Asia, and South Africa. They risked their lives traveling by air to come to Monrovia to honor a national call. And this makes it harder to believe that the players are not patriotic or disciplined. Granted that there were players who chose to come to Liberia to see their families and

use their time here unwisely. Evidently, there have no strong regulations on the ground by the LFA on rules that player must abide by. Though they are mature people, some sort of rules are important and they must be reinforced judiciously. However, the issue of indiscipline by players apparently developed from another source. For example, the process of inviting players from their clubs to join the national team by the Liberia Football Association may have to be looked into. Information reaching the Daily Observer indicates that information to players would reach the players clubs, without air-tickets. There are many times that the players in this case would be calling daily about their tickets till they would be so frustrated, said a knowledgeable official who begged for anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the issue. As a result the players would be defeated before he would receive a ticket for Monrovia. The LFA will have to change how things are done in that way, he said, we cannot continue to do things the old way.

Once there are players abroad that Liberia can depend on for the national team, he said, We must improve on the method to contact them and how fast invitations and tickets reach them. Presently, the Liberia Football Association is not clear what players it will depend on for any future engagement. There are reports that a program is out taxing coaches to roam the length breath of Liberia to select their best. Until now nothing much has been heard about the program, and the days are going. President Musa Bility announced recently that a select side of players will be considered as the national team and they would be on a monthly salary to be paid, on a daily calculation. You are part of the team as long as the player demonstrates his ability to remain with the program, Mr. Bility was reported to have said. Though there are opposing views, many think a strong league could offer the best chance of getting the best for a national team. Whatever the argument is, 2014 must be a year of new and improved ideas to make things work a little easier if not better for the national team, Lone Star. ated to CAF will vote in their order of preference to decide on the eventual winners of the two categories. Initially, twenty-five (25) players were named for African Player of the Year category, and twenty-one (21) for the African Player of the Year (Based in Africa). The winners will be announced at the Glo-CAF Awards Gala scheduled for Thursday, January 9, 2014 in Lagos, Nigeria. Ivorian Yaya Toure is the reigning African Player of the Year and Mohamed Aboutrika of Egypt for the African Player of the Year (Based in Africa).

AFI Honors Robert Sirleaf for Building Sports Stadiums

n international soccer group, which uses football to share the good news of Jesus Christ, The Ambassador Football International (AFI), has honored Mr. Robert Sirleaf for bringing hope through football with the construction of sports stadiums in Monrovia. The AFI was formerly called Ambassador In Sports (AIS). The Director of the Youth League and also the overseer of the AFI-Liberia, William Tinesio Tarpeh, said the Plague of Honor is to recognize the little works Mr. Sirleaf, evidence of the erection or renovation of sports stadiums in and around Monrovia. Mr. Tarpeh presented the Plague of Honor to a proxy of Mr. Sirleaf the President of FC BYC I, Sekou Konneh, on Friday, January 3, 2014, at one of Sirleafs renovated fields, the Blue Field, located at the PHP Community. When we come to Liberia, we see many mini stadiums being built around Monrovia and we are told they were build by Mr. Robert Sirleaf, some of the little things that people do and Robert stands out, Mr. Tarpeh said. Mr. Tarpeh disclosed that Liberia is amongst the 100 countries AFI is establishing its chapter, before or by 2020 and two coaches will be trained in the US in July.

On behalf of the honoree, Mr. Konneh When people do what impact other peoples lives, especially, young people who are vulnerable, I think, they need to be appreciated and that is what you have shown us today. Mr. Sirleaf has always said that what he wants is to share his glory with others because of his passion for football. Mr. Tarpeh started his soccer career with Grand Kru in 1974, Great Bame (19801982); St. Josephs Warriors 1983-1984) and LPRC Oilers (1985-1987). He coached Oilers (1992-94) before going abroad. He is a Christian football evangelist for the AFI at the Cleveland, Ohio Chapter. Mr. Sirleaf has helped to build or renovate minis sp;ports stadium in West Point, the Borough of New Kru Town, Slipway, Gardnersville, Barnersville, and the PHP Community, in Monrovia.

NEC Launches Voters Roll Update

By Keith Morris
NEC Chairman Cllr. Jerome G. Korkoya,
Chairman Korkoya: Civic and voter education in a democratic process is particularly important because it deals with broader concepts underpinning a democratic society such as the respective roles and responsibilities of citizens, governments, political and special interests, the mass media, the business and non-profit sectors as well as the significance of periodic and competitive elections. It emphasizes not only citizens awareness but participation in all aspects of the democratic process. NEC is aware that there can be no free, fair and participatory elections in the absence of adequate information. Cllr. Korkoya maintained that in order to successfully educate voters about the election, the Commission has partnered with 50 civil society organizations currently carrying out schoolbased information dissemination campaign on the voters roll update exercise. Accordingly, said campaign is being conducted in secondary and tertiary learning institutions in the 15 counties under the supervision of NEC. The Commission furthered that the aim of said awareness among the youth is to encourage young people, mostly first time voters to overwhelmingly participate in the process. On the issue of women participation, the NEC boss announced that with funding from UNDP, NEC is engaged with gender, specific project aimed at enhancing and increasing womens par-

ard Taylor, who also thinks that theres a need to support an integrated data system. She praised the Commission for the positive initiative and called on voters to participate at all level. The Bong County Senator further encouraged local and international partners to adequately support NEC with every necessary budgetary requirement to ensure that a well-organized and credible Senatorial election is held. Launch of the Voters Roll Update could mean that the quest for entering the Senate by many politicians in January 2015 has begun. The Special Senatorial Election is the first of its kind since the 1986 Constitution came into force. Many see it as the beginning stage for the bigger political contest in 2017. Some presidential candidates, including Peace Ambassador George M. Weah, in previous elections have vowed to place their names on the ballot.

he National Elections Commission (NEC) at the weekend launched the Voters Roll Update ahead of the ensuing 2014 Special Senatorial Election in Liberia. The intent, NEC said, is to incorporate Liberians who have attained the age of 18 and above since the last elections in 2011, when the voters registration exercise was last held. According to NEC Chairman Cllr. Jerome G. Korkoya, eligible Liberians who, for one reason or the other did not register in 2011; voters, who have changed locations since the last voters registration exercise and wish to be registered at their current location are those that will be covered under said exercise. This process runs from January 13 to March 5, 2014. Speaking at NEC Headquarters during the launch, Cllr. Korkoya indicated that the success of the voters roll update is largely dependent on the conduct of a sustained civic and voters education exercise. He described the process as an integral part of a democratic establishment.

Sen. Taylor is one of those senators who might be seeking re-election

ticipation in the Voters Roll Update process. The Commission has deployed 219 civic and voter educators in the 15 counties to carry out door-to-door education and awareness. 51 are deployed in Montserrado, while the remaining 168 take mission in the other 14 counties. Also speaking, Press Union of Liberia (PUL) president Abdullai Kamara lauded NEC for the update exercise but added that there remain many unanswered questions about the process. He called on governments functionaries responsible for collecting data to collaborate in order to have a proper and updated data of Liberians. The PULs position was also buttressed by Bong County Senator Jewel How-
