MONROVIA, September 30 (LINA) -The Superintendent of the Wesleyan Church of Liberia (WCL) has admonished Liberians to stop “unnecessary criticism” of government’s effort to rebuild Liberia after a protracted civil conflict.
Superintendent Peter F. Kollie said while it is good to critique government, it should be done objectively to draw the government’s attention to certain things and not unnecessary criticisms that demonstrate bitterness for each other as Liberians.
The Wesleyan Superintendent made the call Sunday at the induction ceremony of leaders of various departments of the Paynesville Wesleyan Church in the Paynesville suburb of Monrovia.
Superintendent Kollie observed that it was unfortunate for some Liberians to believe that nothing has been done since the Unity Party-led government came to power and that the nation and people continue to live in abject poverty without development.
He indicated that Liberians should be patriotic and appreciate God for some of the developments that the government has initiated across the country through the help of international partners.
He pointed out that since the foundation of Liberia, there were communities which never had schools and colleges, noting, “this government has been able to establish schools and colleges around the country and rehabilitate major highways such as the Buchanan highway.”
Superintendent Kollie observed that Liberia has made significant strides in the fight against Ebola since its outbreak and continues to battle the disease, noting that with the deployment of American soldiers to combat Ebola, Liberians
do not want to honor the effort made to combat the disease.
He noted that Liberians do not appreciate their own people or things made in Liberia, but rather things made aboard which might not always be good for the nation and its people.
