Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>By Lincoln G. Peters<\/p>\n

Minister of State for Presidential Affairs Nathaniel McGill has threatened his cabinet colleagues that they would be dismissed or substituted if they are caught playing carelessness with the Liberian people\u2019s job, saying the government here is in its injury time.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the signing ceremony of a US$ 40 million agreement between the Ministry of Public Works and the World Bank Tuesday, 31 May 2022 in Monrovia, McGill said any official of the Coalition for Democracy Change (CDC) led government that will be caught playing carelessness with the Liberian people\u2019s job will be dismissed.<\/p>\n

He warned during the ceremony held at the Ministry of Public Works on Lynch Street that the government is in an injury-time and there is no business to entertain fun or make \u201cbays\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know we are in the injury time now gentlemen and when you make fun or bids, you know [you] will be substituted or dismissed straight [away] with immediate effect because no wasting time,\u201d McGill said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere we are now is [not] making fun time and we will make sure that anybody that makes \u201cbays\u201d [will] be substituted,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n

Addressing the Ministry of Public Works, McGill said the challenge now is on \u201cus and we will be on your back to ensure that this loan is implemented.\u201d<\/p>\n

McGill\u2019s warning to his cabinet colleagues comes as Liberians prepare for the 2023 presidential and legislative elections.<\/p>\n

Incumbent President George Manneh Weah is seeking a second six-year \u2013 term against a divided opposition community.<\/p>\n

There are dozens of political parties here seeking to make the ruling CDC a one-term government, and efforts to unite opposition leaders have been quite challenging.<\/p>\n

A newly formed alliance, the Democratic Alliance of Liberia (DAL) says it will give Liberians the hope that the disintegrated opposition bloc Collaborating Political Parties (CPP) failed to give the citizenry following prolonged internal political fight.<\/p>\n

Talking about the filth in Monrovia, McGill disclosed that Liberians are responsible for the dirt in the streets and drainage across the country which had led to major flooding in this rainy season.<\/p>\n

He added that Liberians usually block the water way.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the President will have to issue [an] Executive Order. Liberian people, every day, we say the place is dirty but [who\u2019s making the place dirty? McGill asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time the people say [the] government is not working, they are not cleaning the cities and the place dirty. Who\u2019s making the place dirty? It\u2019s the same Liberian people,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n

He said they need to encourage President George Weah to issue an Executive Order that whenever anyone is caught putting or throwing dirt in the street or the city, they should be penalized.<\/p>\n

He asserted that people are now putting dirt in the drainage on the newly constructed Japan Freeway as they are also doing with the road construction from Red Light to Coca-Cola Factory in Paynesville.<\/p>\n

McGill stated that Liberians are destroying the drainage, and that can cause flooding and other major environmental pollution.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government can build Liberia because even if you make it beautiful like heaven if citizens decide to make it like hell and dirty they will,\u201d said McGill.<\/p>\n

He urged the citizenry to change their minds and attitude and take the responsibility to make their cities beautiful and clean.<\/p>\n

He argued that money can do everything but the commitment that the people have as a country can change things.<\/p>\n

He called on the citizens to desist from listening to the opposition community because it\u2019s their job to criticize, adding that they were in opposition before and they play the same football game and now they are on the other side so it\u2019s their time for them to talk and criticize.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to do what we can do as a government and forget about the past because it\u2019s our time. Let\u2019s do our part because history will judge us when we leave,\u201d said McGill.<\/p>\n

He called on Liberians to be patriotic because the country is for them, urging them to support the president because the government will go and Liberia will stay.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody that wants to criticize, let them do something,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Regarding the newly signed finance agreement, Mr. McGill extolled the World Bank for its continued support toward the Pro-Poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development, adding that there is never a project that the World Bank Liberia team has turned down.<\/p>\n

McGill pleaded that the current World Bank Liberia team remain in Liberia until the expiration of the CDC \u2013 led government\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n

He praised the World Bank team\u2019s instrumentality through which he said Liberia will in less than no time drive from Monrovia to Harper, Maryland County through Nimba County.<\/p>\n
