To Privatize or Not : The case with our Public Corporation . Part II
Introduction
In Part I, we struggled to make the case for reform actions by government before any privatization can proceed. It is our hope this paper can shed some light on the issue of whether and when to privatize our public corporations, which to me is the single most important decision, just behind reunification, that confronts this generation. We would like to begin by calling for a period of pause in government actions regarding privatization. During this period, government through the Liberia Reconstruction Development Commission (LRDC) must engage policy makers, political, economic and social experts and the general public on a national debate about its master plan or blueprint for privatization.

By Nathaniel Tweh
Berea College, Kentucky, USA
Dear Editor:
I am a constant reader of FrontPage Africa online newspapers and I have noticed and read in recent time that a lot of Liberians residing in the Diaspora have complained about how corruption and mal-practices have becloud the Center for National Document and Records Agency, for short CNDRA.
Lot of Liberians in the Diaspora is recommending Mr. Wreh to the Liberian president to take over CNDRA as director general. Well, I don’t actually know who Mr. Wreh is and how he handled CNDRA during his administration. But it seems like, lot of Liberian has confidence in this man and it seems like this man has done a better job at CNDRA and can stay do a better job at this agency.

Unifying Liberia Transport Sector: A Policy Approach to Economic Development

Unifying Liberia’s Transport Sector: A Policy Approach to Economic Development
It is conventional wisdom that the transport sector can be a catalyst for socio-economic development. Hence, enhancements in the transportation sector can contribute significantly to economic development. Poor transportation systems on the other hand will restrict the ability of a country to; fully utilize its natural resources, distribute goods, integrate the various economic sectors, and drive local agricultural activities.
It is important, if not vital, to develop transportation structures that are efficient and make the most of the capital required to develop them, avoiding wastes in all its forms. If the conclusion that capital improvement in transport sector can lead to greater economic development than when capital is used in other sectors of the economy, then policy makers should appreciate the benefits to be gained by developing the transportation infrastructure. If on the other hand, capital improvements in transport sector cannot be associated to economic performance, then meager resources could, perhaps, be spent on other sectors of the economy.

"America Is Ready For an African-American President"
|
I am Elijah Wreh and an intransigent devotee of the Obama for America team. I received a phone call from the Obama campaign team in Iowa asking me whether I could volunteer to campaign for Obama during the Iowa Democratic caucus that was slated for January 3rd, 2008.
I agreed and was immediately allied with Amos Budde, a supporter who was scheduled to leave from Minnesota for Iowa on January 1st, New Year day. We left Minnesota on the night of New Year day and arrived in Webster city, Iowa by mid-night.
