Coming up in this episode .. More people die on Liberia’s roads as a percentage of population than almost anywhere else in the world according to the World Bank. Why then did the Weah government kill a $US50m agency meant to make roads safer? Critics point to an allegedly illegal contract to a Weah ally.
Political parties ignore their own commitment to field women in 30 percent of seats. Liberia’s low representation by women looks set to fall further.
Presidential candidates Alexander Cummings and Taiwan Gongloe commit to hold a war crimes court if elected, but President Weah and ex-vice president Joseph Boakai refuse to comment.
And a New Narratives survey finds a third of voters do not trust the newly introduced Biometric Voter Registration system ahead of October’s elections. You’re listing to Democracy in Focus
