The phenomenon of angry citizens, including Kehkeh and Pehm Pehm drivers burning homes and vehicles is of continuing concern to every peace-loving Liberian and resident. In Ganta, Nimba County for example, a beautiful and well-known hotel was burned by angry mob with complete impunity. Regrettably, we aren’t aware of any conviction in cases of pehm pehm and kehkeh drivers burning NTA buses or other private properties. Even though mob Violence is wrong and totally unacceptable; people on social media and other platforms are giving reason to rationalize the use of mob violence as a lack of confidence in the police and Justice system, and the fear that perpetrators of crimes enjoy impunity, especially with so many uninvestigated deaths. Kehkeh and Pehm pehm drivers are NOT above the law of the Republic of Liberia, and they are notorious for dangerous driving practices throughout the country.
