MDR-UP Alliance candidate Kortor Kwagrue, speaking at the recent LMDI debate in Buutuo ahead of the August 12 Nimba County District #5 by-election, criticized the government for failing to improve roads—despite it being a key pillar of the ruling Unity Party’s ARREST Agenda.

“To boost agriculture in this area, we need proper farm-to-market roads. Under President Charles Taylor, a company called MGC worked on our roads, and we returned to farming—producing bananas, yams, and more. But under this government, the roads are deplorable. Today, our plantains are rotting, and we are left with nothing,” Kwagrue lamented.

LBS Suspends Live Broadcast of MICAT Press Briefings

August 7, 2025

The Liberia Broadcasting System (LBS) has temporarily suspended its live coverage of the Ministry of Information, Cultural Affairs and Tourism’s (MICAT) regular press briefings.

LBS Director General Eugene Fahngon made the announcement Wednesday in Paynesville, citing financial constraints as the reason behind the decision. He explained that the lack of funding has left the management with no choice but to implement this cost-cutting measure.

According to Fahngon, the suspension will remain in place while discussions are held with MICAT to find a sustainable solution. He emphasized that although the decision was difficult, the management stands by it and remains hopeful for a swift resolution.

LBS had been broadcasting the MICAT briefings live every Tuesday and Thursday across its radio, television, and social media platforms.

In the meantime, Fahngon encouraged government agencies, private organizations, and individuals to utilize LBS’s business office for advertising, press conferences, special features, and live event coverage.

ActionAid Liberia, in collaboration with various partners, has convened a two-day County Level National People's Summit on climate justice in Gbarnga.

The summit commenced on August 7, 2025, at the Ministry of Youths and Sports Gbarnga's office, bringing together participants from diverse backgrounds, including students, farmers, and government officials, demonstrating a collective commitment to addressing climate-related issues in Liberia through a shared understanding of climate justice.

The event, themed "Scaling Agroecology, People-Driven Climate Finance, and Sustainable Solutions for Liberia," aimed to raise awareness about the impacts of climate change on agriculture and energy. Attendees included members from the Farmers Union of Liberia and representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency, fostering lively discussions on key climate justice challenges and the urgent need for community-driven action in response to these challenges.

Norwu Harris, Climate Justice Program Coordinator at ActionAid Liberia, highlighted the importance of the summit, building upon insights gathered from a previous gathering in Montserrado County. She emphasized the role of community voices, particularly those of women and youth, in guiding government priorities as the nation transitions from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Discussions also focused on the issues faced by farmers due to climate change, such as unpredictable weather patterns and the harmful effects of chemical fertilizers on soil health and local communities.

The summit aimed to ensure inclusivity in the transition to renewable energy, addressing the potential impacts on vulnerable groups. Harris urged the government to support farmers in adopting sustainable agricultural practices and technologies, such as solar energy, to ensure access to clean energy sources. The participants collectively advocated for a national approach to climate justice that prioritizes renewable energy and sustainable agriculture, underscoring the importance of empowering all communities in shaping Liberia's environmental and economic future.

For Immediate Release
August 7, 2025

The All Liberia Coalition Party (ALCOP) supports the nationwide protest against the proliferation of drugs in the country.

The Party in a release describes the current drug pandemic in the country as a threat to the peace and stability of the country.

ALCOP’s Political Leader Honorable Lusine Kamara wants the government to declare the drug situation a National Emergency.

He believes that placing the situation under the category of national emergency will give the government the latitude in ordering state security to take the necessary steps to combat the menace.

The Political Leader of the All Liberia Coalition Party indicated that the fight against drugs is paramount to the party's agenda.

He is therefore calling for a collective effort in the fight against drugs by all of Liberians.

“ No one or family is safe from this drug pandemic if your neighbors or community is infested with drug users, let's fight this from the bottom to the top “, Honorable Kamara said.

The Political Leader of ALCOP also wants stronger actions against drug traffickers, importers, peddlers, and users across the country.

Honorable Kamara is also recommending the establishment of more rehabilitation centers for drug users and or strengthening of existing centers across the country.

The rehabilitation center will help rehabilitate and reintegrate the current drug users in the community while efforts to cultial new addiction continue.
