It was a pleasure interacting with Hon. Jerolinmek Matteh Piah (@jerolinmek) and his wonderful colleagues at the Ministry of Information in Liberia yesterday.
Thank you for hosting us!
Almost two-thirds (63%) of Liberians express little or no trust in their local county governments to utilise locally generated revenue to improve local development.
#Liberia#VoicesAfrica#Decentralisation
Three-quarters (76%) of Liberians “agree” or “strongly agree” that counties should keep part of local revenues for development. Seven in 10 say that allowing voters to elect superintendents will boost participation in local governance (71%) and increase accountability (71%).
A majority (62%) of Liberians approve of the way the president has performed his job over the past 12 months. Fewer say the same about their local government government (50%), senators (45%), and representatives (44%).
