I was lucky enough to meet small #business owners in Central #Monrovia this week.
We spoke of the struggle to thrive in #Liberia today.
Our conversations affirmed what we already knew:
Lack of protection, support, and resources from the government is holding Liberia back.
The Liberian government has failed to tackle #corruption, Transparency International has found.
My court case is just one more example of injustice in a culture of impunity and weak judiciary. Millions of Liberians live with this injustice every day.
#Liberia deserves better.
I am appalled at the unlawful attacks by police on peaceful protesters in #Liberia. This is an unacceptable violation of our democratic right to assembly.
Liberians, whether you are my supporter or critic, I stand with you. I hear you.
Liberia's former Director of Passport and Visas Andrew Wonplo’s corrupt involvement in passport fraud undermined the rule of law. As a result, I am publicly designating him ineligible for U.S. entry. We stand with Liberia in their fight against corruption.
