MONROVIA April 5(LINA) – An official of the Ministry of Public Works says a proposition to make Liberia a Christian state at the detriment of other religions is a recipe for conflict and disunity.

Public Works Director of Documentation and Communication, Jesefu Morris Keita, warned that those in favor of such proposition should rethink the decision because “posterity will judge them for proffering such anti-democratic evil” in the country.
 
Speaking in an interview with the Liberia News Agency at the weekend in Monrovia, Keita called on President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to nullify the proposition in that Liberia has suffered prolonged years of civil conflict.
“It is not appropriate to allow a group of people to engage in vices that have the propensity to create confusion in the country to the detriment of order peaceful Liberians,” he noted.

Delegates at the Gbarnga Constitutional Review Conference Thursday overwhelmingly voted on a proposition to make Liberia a Christian state.
 
The Muslim delegates did not vote because, according to them, the proposition
doesn't promote religious freedom guaranteed in the Constitution which currently upholds a secular state.
The outcome of the Gbarnga Constitution Review process will be submitted to President Sirleaf who will in turn send it to the National Legislature to debate the issues and prepare it for a national referendum.
