“Leadership, at its core, must be anchored in honest intention and demonstrated through actions that reflect the collective aspirations of the people,” he wrote. The letter takes particular aim at governance practices within public institutions, including the Ministry of Labour, which Tengbeh says has drifted from its mandate to protect workers’ rights. He alleges selective enforcement, tolerated corruption, and administrative inconsistency, contending that practices once condemned have now become normalized. Beyond labor governance, Tengbeh raises concerns about nepotism, favoritism, and elitism across public offices, claiming loyalty is often prioritized over competence. Addressing not only the President but also the broader public, Tengbeh urges Liberians to resist civic silence and demand transparency and accountability.
