During a cabinet meeting held recently, President Joseph Nyuma Boakia, boldly made it known that at no point can wealthy men enjoy absolute freedom, where poverty massively reside to enslave the poor people.
Boakai said there’s no protection for the rich when the poor people remain snared in the captivity of poverty, and being hosted by hopelessness, temptation and all their embodiments.
Indeed, where poverty resides, peace, happiness, love, unity and national reconciliation have no space to occupy. Where poverty resides, there’s satanically induced negative calculation, and imaginations that often lead to national disintegration. Where poverty resides, peace and stability are never a reality.
We concur with Pres. Boakia, and hope his government will do all in its power to purge the culture of entrenched poverty, whose principal roots are corruption in all forms and manners.
While we note the gradual process exhibited by the Boakia led rescue regime leading to transformation, we think the government needs to ensure that poverty, whose root is massive corruption, lack of vision, lack of the spirit of love for country, is suppressed, if not totally obliterated.
It can’t be argued that where poverty resides, anger, violence and lawlessness equally reside. We then urge the Boakia-led government to ensure that poverty is not a permanent resident in the society, that corruption is not a permanent resident in the society, that pretending rescue officials are eliminated to give way those who mean well for the nation.
Indeed, until the poor people are redeemed from poverty, and made to enjoy the true aroma of societal peace and harmony, the questionable wealthy guys can never enjoy protection in case of the interruption of violence.
