Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Says it completed 74% of its 100-Day Plan, contrary to Naymote\u2019s report<\/p>\n

The Government of Liberia has announced that it completed 74% of its planned interventions within the first 100 days of President Joseph N. Boakai’s administration, out of 87 interventions earmarked. The ambitious 100-Day Plan aimed to address key sectors such as infrastructure, security, transparency, and social development to alleviate hardships faced by Liberians.<\/p>\n

Anthony Myers, Deputy Minister for Fiscal Affairs at the Ministry of Finance, made an official presentation of the comprehensive report on the 100-day deliverables at a Ministry of Information press briefing over the weekend, highlighting achievements in various sectors such as agriculture, road infrastructure, and rule of law, drug enforcement, education, sanitation, electricity, healthcare, and public administration.<\/p>\n

He emphasizes that the data by performance standard were 87 intervention outlines. \u201cOf these interventions, 64%, or 74%, we can report have been completed or were nearing completion by the time the president made his report on May 1. The remaining 23, or 26%, are ongoing interventions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The progress report indicated advancements in road construction, drug enforcement operations, scholarship programs, sanitation initiatives, water supply repairs, and digitization of revenue transactions, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn agriculture, the agriculture census and data collections were completed, and the national agriculture development plan was drafted and was awaiting validation, but it was reported that the agriculture sector is carrying out the validation of this report, so it was completed on time, and it is the validation that is going on,\u201d he said. \u201cThe purpose of the validation is to ensure that the agriculture sector is ready with a strategic plan when we begin to develop the national development plan so that when members or key stakeholders in the sector come to the consultation for the plan, they will already have a strategy that is our own nationally as well as that of our international partners.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, the road infrastructure and critical spots across the country are currently being aggressively worked on during the serious rainy season. \u201cBut all the critical spots that used to hold traffic and stop the movement of people were all possible at the time the president made his report.\u201d<\/p>\n

He highlighted that the rule of law and the fight against drug and substance abuse are on course, and the Liberian Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) has reported the arrest of more than two hundred suspected drug dealers, which is one of the largest arrests in the fight against drugs in Liberia.<\/p>\n

He also said that the government began the payment of arrears for WAEC fees owed from the previous season of the test and the international scholarship students as well.<\/p>\n

Myers described sanitation as a broad umbrella sector and noted that the cleaning of sewage lines has begun across Monrovia.<\/p>\n

\u201cWater reservoirs in Monrovia and Paynesville were repaired at the time of reporting; up to 95% of reservoirs were repaired and active,\u201d he revealed. \u201cThe Caldwell water facility was also repaired. The Liberia Electricity Corporation negotiated an increase in power supply from Cote d’Ivoire from 25 MW to 50 MW, even though we know that because of some specific domestic issues in Cote d’Ivoire, things are not as we expected. The LEC launched a project to electrify an area around St. Paul Bridge to the Po River, which is a black spot in the grave between Monrovia and the western region.\u201d<\/p>\n

He noted ongoing efforts in sectors such as production requirements, procurement processes, and constrained budget allocations affecting the pace of some interventions. Myers explained that the completion rate of 74% reflects the government’s commitment to tangible progress and accountability in its early tenure.<\/p>\n

Despite operational challenges, the government remains focused on achieving its objectives and improving service delivery to the Liberian people.<\/p>\n

While the government celebrates its achievements in meeting a significant portion of the 100-Day Plan targets, a recent report by the Naymote Partners for Democratic Development, a pro-democratic and a key advocate of good governance in the country, suggested a contrasting perspective on the progress made.<\/p>\n

Eddie Jarwolo, Naymote Executive Director of Naymote, while launching the report at a press conference in Paynesville, revealed that only 10% of the 107 promises made by the government have been fulfilled within this timeframe.<\/p>\n

“Our analysis shows that out of the 107 promises made, only 11 have been completed, constituting merely 10%,” Jarwolo said.<\/p>\n

The Unity Party government had outlined a “100-DayDeliverables” plan consisting of 12 key objectives to achieve targeted milestones. The completion of these objectives was intended to demonstrate progress, promote transparency, and lay the foundation for broader national development initiatives.<\/p>\n

Naymote’s assessment, Jarwolo noted, highlighted that 11 promises have been completed, 45 are in progress, and 51 remain unrated due to insufficient information. While progress has been observed across sectors like telecommunications, aviation, agriculture, infrastructure development, and public works, challenges persist in areas such as education, healthcare, fiscal governance reforms, and agriculture.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, as the administration continues its efforts to address governance, social, and economic challenges, ongoing evaluations and consultations with relevant stakeholders will play a crucial role in determining the overall impact and sustainability of the government’s initiatives in the long term.<\/p>\n
