Donovan Livingston said “for too long we have tried the Love of Power, unless we try the Power of Love, we will always be the same”, this is the case of Joseph Boakai. On November 10, 2016, the death of  Rep. Eugene F. Kparkar was announced.

Since the passing of this Honorable man who represented the people of Foya District, where the Vice President is from, he (Boakai) has only been to the home of the family once, precisely November 10, 2016.

This vindictive veep was also overheard speaking happily over the death of the Honorable, precisely say “at least this small boy has been taken off my way” and this saying has been proven by his(Boakai) deliberate refusal to form part of the funeral arrangements of someone who is to be his nephew.

While the people of Lofa are mourning and will be removing the body of their venerable kinsman from the funeral home tomorrow, egocentric Joseph Boakai is celebrating on the eve of this event.

What is more shocking is that this veep has never celebrated his natal day in this manner before, but due to his greed for power, he has planned a cosmetic celebration at the ATS.

I don’t care how compulsory it is to celebrate a birthday, no one will call an extravagant celebration when his family is bereaved.

We are however not surprised at this self-centered act of the Vice President because he has always hated the late Hon. Kparkar on the basis of the late Representative contesting on another Party’s ticket, after he (Boakai) told his supposed to be nephew Kparkar not to contest for Representative.

Boakai argument was because Hon. Kparkar was too young (30 year old) and should give way to Francis Nyumalay, the veep biological relative.

Rest in Peace the well-respected Hon Eugene Fallah Kparkar as we mourn your demise, while Joseph Nyuma Boakai celebrates and ignore the traditional norms of standing by your neighbors during the time of bereavement.

Monrovia – Representative Eugene Fallah Kparkar (Liberty Party, District #1, Lofa) is said to be ailing and his party, calling for prayers and support as he undergoes a ‘very critical’ bone marrow operation in India.

“He is critically ill. At this moment, Hon. Eugene F. Kparkar needs your prayers. He does not need “Rest in Peace” or “RIP”.

We wish him speedy recovery, and may the will of our Lord prevail,” Abraham Darius Dillon, the party’s Vice President for Political Affairs posted on his Facebook discussion page Thursday.

FrontPageAfrica has learned that one of the promising political forces in the lower house was recently flown to India for treatment. He has been ailing for quite some time.

“He is on life-support and undergoing a bone marrow operation and will be in coma for three days,” said a party official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

“If he comes out he will live and we are hopeful and praying. But it’s 50-50. It is a slow recovery,” the official added.

A bone marrow transplant is a procedure to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells.

Bone marrow is the soft, fatty tissue inside your bones.

The bone marrow produces blood cells. Stem cells are immature cells in the bone marrow that give rise to all of your different blood cells.

Doctors believe that for many cancers, the donor’s white blood cells may attack any remaining cancer cells, similar to when white cells attack bacteria or viruses when fighting an infection.

Doctors usually recommend a bone marrow transplant if a patient has certain cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma, myelodysplasia, and multiple myeloma.

Representative Kparkar who assumed office in January 2006 was born in Foya District, Lofa county to a mid-wife mother (Ma Betty) and a teacher father (Papa Joe), both deceased.

He attended primary school in Foya and Kolahun districts respectively in Lofa County. As a refugee in the early 1990s, he partially did his secondary school education in Guinea and later came to Monrovia in 1997 and graduated from the G. W. Gibson High School with distinction.

Rep. Kparkar matriculated to the University of Liberia, where he received a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Economics in 2005/06 and a Master’s degree in International Relations with distinction. Kparkar got his second master’s degree with distinction in Public Sector Management in 2015 at the Cutting University.
