Former interim president and now Chairman of the Governance Commission, Dr. Amos Sawyer, say local authorities of the country must be elected, therefore, an amendment of article 54 of the Liberian Constitution must be adhered to in order to give way for the election of these local officials to be elected by their people.

 As the much expected 2011 general and presidential elections draw near, the political leader of the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) has boastfully declared that with the kind of good team he has on board he can do better than President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in terms of the country’s economy and development.

I will never forgive those behind this ugly act,” a frustrated Liberian, 56, whose house was rolled over by yellow machine in a bid to given Monrovia a facelift tearfully told reporters as he  looked at officials of the Ministry of Public Works given instruction  for the demolition.
