The Liberia Media Initiative for Peace Democracy and Development (LMI) announces the launch of new program to support Liberia’s post conflict emerging Democracy.
The program is a monthly interactive democracy forum called “DUCOR DEBATES. LMI’s Executive Director, John Kollie says the DUCOR Debates will conduct a town hall format debate on key national issues of concern once a month.
John Kollie says DUCOR DEBATES will facilitate a face to face meeting between Liberian leaders and the people. DUCOR DEBATES will at any given town hall gathering allow in hall at least 50 participants and any of them will be free to raise concerns.
The LMI believes that its new initiative will help to guide Liberia’s governance process from the people’s perspectives. Audio and Video recordings of DUCOR DEBATES, the LMI says will initially be broadcast on its network of 40 partner radio and TV Stations across Liberia through its already existing Radio and TV 45 minute program, “THE MELTING POINT”.
DUCOR DEBATES is an offspring of the LMI’s outreach program called SEH-LEH DOR WON meaning in the Liberian Language of Mano, “Nation Building Business.
Already, the LMI has carried out the first of the interactive Town hall forum with the holding of the first debate for the candidates in a recently conducted by-election in the South-Eastern Liberian regional county of River Gee.
The LMI seeks support and partnership with Democracy groups and interested persons in the sustenance of this endeavor.
LMI Executive Director, John Kollie was the lead moderator of the 2005 Presidential and Legislative Radio Debates across Liberia with support from the E.C. Bilateral and the Carter Center.
LMI’s Boss John Kollie says the DUCOR DEBATES will be held at least once a month in town halls across the country featuring major contending democratic issues with people having the chance to interact live with their leaders and that the River Gee debate is just the beginning.
