…Jarwolo Slams Institutional ConfusionBy Amos HarrisEddie D. Jarwolo, Executive Director of NAYMOTE–Partners for Democratic Development, has issued a sharp rebuke of the Liberian government over what he describes as a dangerous and unacceptable governance failure in the issuance of driver’s licenses by two separate state institutions. Driver’s licenses, he noted, are not merely permits to operate vehicles but are essential government-issued identification documents relied upon by law enforcement agencies, banks, and immigration authorities. Since taking office, President Boakai has pledged to restore integrity, accountability, and professionalism across public institutions. Analysts suggest that the driver’s license controversy now stands as an early and telling test of that commitment. Establishing a single, transparent, and legally mandated licensing authority is fundamental to sound governance, public trust, and national security.
