good idea but.......... Written by Allen Tarku Ross, on 2007-03-24 08:36:54 I believe Cllr. Jones deserves some commendations for his abilities to think outside of the box for the sake of peace. I am not sure he declared the reimbursement of defeated candidates with the primary view of its importance in either alleviating the thoughts of conflict or minimizing the noise that surrounds the results of elections. No matter what his objective, I do strongly believe that it is a good idea and it will, in future elections, have good consequences. Most of the noises and intents to wage war as a result of electoral defeats, arise due to the inabilities of those defeated to cope with their financial losses and sometimes meet up with loan repayments, incurred during the electoral campaigns. Cllr. Jones, I believe that guys like you should consider to the idea of Liberia moving towards dual or multi citizenship, which has a signicant benefit. There are many Liberians who have acquired different citizenships but still consider Liberia home. These individauls could return with vast technological skills, high quality education and many more that could benefit the nation in general and that is what the country needs now and in the future as she struggles towards advancement. |
