MONROVIA – Liberia’s former Finance and Development Planning Minister, and now standard bearer of the All Liberian Coalition Party (ALCOP), Lusinee F. Kamara, Sr., said Liberia must be run with honesty, patriotism, and sacrifice for the sake of the people; otherwise, the country will remain backward, and the people will continue to suffer in a way they don’t deserve.

At the launch of the party’s 2023 campaign held in Gardnerville, outside the nation’s capital, Monrovia, Kamara said his leadership will provide an honest and responsible governance system in which revenues will be protected primarily for the development of Liberia.
Scores of supporters and partisans turned out in support of their candidate for the impending election scheduled for Tuesday, October 10, 2023.
“The solution we have is to change that mindset and give you honest and responsible leadership that will improve your living standards in a sustainable way. We aim to provide leadership that will work hard to transform Liberia from a development underdog to a pace-setter of development in the region,” the former Commerce and Industry Minister Kamara said.
According to him, for the past 176 years, leaders have failed to put Liberia’s interest above their personal interests, stating, “they neither put the country first nor gave total commitment to its development and progress.”
He said this is the change that Liberia needs, moving the government from exploitation to sacrifice.
“For us to be able to do this, you must stop selling your votes for a bag of rice or money. You must join us as your honest leaders who have come to redeem you. Help us to help you. Support us if you want to be redeemed. Join our campaign and let us redeem Liberia together!” He said.
Kamara calls on Liberians to join ALCOP for honest and responsible leadership that will take Liberia from backwardness to progress; a leadership that will make this country a better home for all Liberians.
“Join us and take our campaign message to all parts of this country! In ALCOP, we want a Liberia that is Healthy: where healthcare is affordable, accessible, standard, and available to all parts of the country. ALCOP wants a Liberia that is Educated, where there is a standard education system that is mandatory, affordable, and accessible by all,” Kamara said.
He said ALCOP wants a Liberia that is Productive and Prosperous, a Middle-Income Economy that promotes Private Sector development and attracts Foreign Direct Investment.
The former Finance Minister Kamara said ALCOP wants a Liberia that is full of Peace & Justice for all.
Kamara said ALCOP wants a Liberia that promotes economic empowerment, a quality life, and better living standards for all.
“ALCOP wants a Liberia where there is Equal treatment and equal opportunity for everyone; a society that Prevents discrimination and marginalization, a country that creates a balance in a democratic space. We want a Liberia that Sustains human dignity through the provision of quality education, the means to learn and develop skills for professional careers, and job creation for the Liberian people to earn their living in dignity and self-respect,” he said.
He told supporters and partisans that in order for this vision to work in Liberia, you have to join our campaign and work with us so that together we can redeem Liberia.
“Our combined actions are needed. Every tribe and every county of Liberia must work together for a better Liberia,” Kamara said.
He said Liberia is 176 years old and still cannot meet the basic needs of the population.
“The need for basic infrastructure such as road connectivity; reliable and affordable supply of electricity, water, healthcare, education, jobs, amongst others,” Kamara said.
According to him, these issues continue to haunt Liberia because the leaders take government as a trophy for the people who are in power.
He said the leaders run the government for themselves, with little or no care for the citizens and the future generations, stating, “this keeps Liberia backward in the region.”
