Constructive Dialogue is Important for Promoting Healthy Democracy – Ernest Cautions Liberians as We Gear Towards the October 10 Electrons

By Ernest Doitoe

My wonderful people of Liberia as the political campaigns for the 2023 Liberian general elections heat up, it is important for all partisans of political parties to remember the importance of respecting each other’s views and engaging in constructive dialogue on the issues that are affecting our nation. This is crucial for promoting a healthy democracy and ensuring that the voices of all Liberians are heard.

One of the key issues that should be at the forefront of the political discourse is the need for good governance and accountability. Liberia has a long history of corruption and poor governance, which has hindered the country’s development and perpetuated poverty and inequality. All political parties should commit to implementing measures that will promote transparency, accountability, and the rule of law.

Another critical issue is the need for economic development and job creation. Liberia remains one of the poorest countries in the world, with high levels of unemployment and underemployment. The government must prioritize policies that will stimulate economic growth, create jobs, and reduce poverty. This can be achieved through investments in infrastructure, agriculture, and education, as well as by creating an enabling environment for private sector investment.

In addition, the issue of human rights and social justice must be addressed. Liberia has a long way to go in terms of protecting the rights of all citizens, particularly women, children, and marginalized communities. All political parties should commit to promoting and protecting human rights, including the right to education, healthcare, and social services.

Furthermore, the issue of national unity and reconciliation must be a priority. Liberia has been plagued by conflict and division for decades, and all political parties must work towards healing the wounds of the past and promoting national unity. This can be achieved through dialogue, tolerance, and a commitment to inclusivity.

Finally, all political parties need to recognize the importance of international cooperation and partnership.

In conclusion, the 2023 Liberian general elections provide an opportunity for all Liberians to come together and choose leaders who will prioritize the needs of the people over personal interests. All partisans of political parties must respect each other’s views and engage in constructive dialogue on the issues that are affecting our nation. By doing so, we can ensure that the next government is accountable, transparent, and committed to promoting the well-being of all Liberians

We deserve better as Liberians
