The entire top officials at the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) have all fallen by the wayside as a result of the executive wind triggered by President Joseph Nyumah Boakia on Wednesday this week.
But the question is: why non-employees were assigned with sensitive positions? Anyway, that was then, not now, because the President has already acted in the interest of the state.
The president executive action against the Anthony K. Souh team followed reported incidences whereby men under his watch, who’re under the salient national obligation to fight dangerous substances are playing double standard games.
This dismissal action is being welcomed nationwide. The fact is that you can’t claim to be a healer, and at the same time, be a killer; you can’t claim to be serving God, and at the same time, secretly serving the devil as your master, etc.
We too laud the president for this robust action, because drastic sore requires drastic medicine. And we like to recommend that the president should extend his executive action across the board given that there are still stubborn men, and women in his government, who behave like bedbugs—in the day the bedbugs will appear to be moderate and harmless, but when night comes, it will unleash its aggression by quietly sucking the blood.
For instance, there are men and women in his government, who appear on the surface to be true rescuers, yet behind the curtain, they’re evil doers.
We urge him to be drastic, because power is irrelevant when, and if, it is not used to bring down those who are anti stability, anti-progress, and anti-national growth and development.
