Monrovia – President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has condemned recent arson attack on the Tarjuwon Junior High School in Tarjuwon District, Sinoe County – and described it as a wanton act of violence that deliberately denies fellow Liberians the opportunity to prepare themselves for a better future.
According to an Executive Mansion release, President Sirleaf issued the condemnation when her attention was drawn to media report that the Tarjuwon Junior High School in Sinoe County was set ablaze by some unidentified person.
She said as the country gradually makes recovery amid the challenges being grappled with, it was untenable that tendencies that portray uncivilized roots continue to permeate our society to the disadvantage of deserving Liberians.
The Liberia leader noted that it was unfair that in this day and age – elements of lawlessness in the District would find it fit to target the only Junior High School establish intended to serve as light in darkness and to mold the minds of young Liberians in that part of the country.
She said it was incumbent on the leadership of the country to rise to the challenge in light of such bedevilling circumstances and seek a more patriotic way of coming around the situation in the interest of their people.
