According to them, Madam Sirleaf’s administration did little or nothing to advance their cause for dual citizenship. Speaking with this newspaper recently, Mr. Wleh said this time around they are hoping that lawmakers can see the importance of the dual citizenship push that they in the diaspora have embarked upon. The ALCOD Co-chair argues that “once a Liberian should always be a Liberian,” and so they want the Liberia’s Alien and Nationality Law amended. It seems that the amended 1974 Alien and Nationality Law Section 22, which speaks of ‘Loss of Citizenship’ is what ALCOD thinks is a problem for them and needs to be repealed.

The TRC report you are quoting all around here is an absolute rubbish… I regret nothing during the civil war. WAR CRIMES and crimes against humanity are among the gravest crimes in international law. Unless we have not learned our lessons from the civil war, and unless we want to continue acting ignorant as if there are no elements in our society still capable to taking up arms to support an insurrection, let’s continue to toy with the establishment of war crimes court.

Mr. Cummings drew the anger of MICAT when he condemned the rising wave of corruption which has reached new and higher levels under the CDC-led government.

According to the ANC Political Leader, the Weah-led administration cannot stop the stealing in government because those who should be stopping the stealing are the actual rogues. In its reaction, MICAT referred to corruption as “street talks” and cited the KROLL Report as effectively exonerating the Liberian Government of corruption. We do not do so to convince MICAT or anyone in the Weah-led administration whose salaries depend on not understanding the simple truth that corruption keeps countries poor.
