Boakai gets more congratulatory messages

In a resounding declaration, Austin S. Fallah, a US-based Liberian Expert and Master of Study of Law student at Hamline University, extends heartfelt congratulations to President-elect Ambassador Joseph N. Boakai, Vice President-elect Jeremiah K. Koung, and the dedicated members of the Rescue Team. Their commendable efforts signal a new era for Liberia, and Mr. Fallah aligns himself with their vision for the nation.

Emphasizing the incoming government’s need to transcend divisive tribalism, Mr. Fallah passionately advocates for unity, urging the administration to embrace individuals from all corners of Liberia.

In selecting government officials, he stresses the importance of qualifications, competence, and educational backgrounds, aligning with the diverse aspirations of Liberia’s fifteen counties and sixteen tribes.

Addressing a gathering in his home state of Minnesota in the Midwest of the United States, Mr. Fallah underscores the pivotal role of qualifications in governance. A commitment to a comprehensive and inclusive approach, he argues, is essential for fostering meaningful development, socially and economically, benefiting the entire nation.

Highlighting the pressing need to address Liberia’s wage bill, Mr. Fallah advocates moving beyond tribal considerations, asserting that replacing tribalism with a focus on competence and qualifications is indispensable for the collective well-being of the nation and its citizens.

As a distinguished academician and President of the Hamline University Graduate Students Association (H+++), Mr. Fallah calls upon the incoming administration to exceed the high expectations of Liberians who endured six years of economic challenges.

Drawing on his wealth of experience, he emphasizes the necessity of elevating Liberia from the difficulties of the past towards a future marked by prosperity and equitable governance.

Reflecting on the past six years, Mr. Fallah highlights issues such as nepotism, corruption, the death of innocent citizens—particularly women and children—and the lack of vision.

He underscores the rejection of negativity for positivity on November 14, 2023, urging the new administration to learn from past mistakes and steer the country in the right direction.

“The Liberian people yearn for rescue from poverty and despair,” asserts Mr. Fallah.

He emphasizes the collective responsibility to lift Liberia from poverty’s depths to a future marked by prosperity and equitable governance, reflecting the diversity of the nation and its people.

Stressing the importance of economic and social developments that benefit the masses, not just a select few, Mr. Fallah envisions progress that reaches every corner of Liberia, fostering a more inclusive and empowered society.

In urging the new administration to learn from past mistakes, he underscores the necessity of embracing positive change. The previous administration’s mistakes are lessons that should guide the current government toward a more promising future.

In conclusion, Mr. Fallah echoes the aspirations of a united Liberia poised for a brighter tomorrow. The call is for progress, diversity, and economic empowerment—a vision that transcends past challenges and paves the way for a more inclusive and prosperous nation.

Fallah said, “In the spirit of decisive leadership akin to our Lord-Saviour-Yeshua-Christ, who took bold steps to maintain order in the House of our Owner-Creator-God-Almighty, we implore you to act swiftly and decisively.”

The young Liberian called on the government to elect when they take power in January 2024, and it should make it imperative to establish an environment of law and order, ensuring the safety and well-being of all Liberians.

Mr. Fallah said, “It is our fervent plea that your actions resonate with the might and quickness exhibited by great leaders. Liberians aspire to dwell in a nation that not only promises but actively secures their safety, allowing for unrestricted movement day and night.

Let there be no room for a lackadaisical attitude, a trait witnessed over the years. Now, more than ever, the call for resolute governance is paramount.

May your leadership be a beacon of strength, ushering in an era of enduring peace, security, and prosperity for the nation. Godspeed in your noble endeavors,” he added.
