Regrettable, Shameful’: Cummings Bemoans Hardship in Liberia

 

 Liberia Presidential hopeful Alexander Cummings has frowned at the current economic hardship faced by Liberians, noting that it runs contrary to vision set forth by the country’s forefathers 169 years ago.

 Mr. Cummings said it was frustrating that the ongoing hardship faced by citizens had unfortunately become an accepted way of life.


He wants Liberians to demand and expect better.

“Over the past years as I travelled the length and breadth of our country, I’ve been inspired by the resilience tenacity, creativity, industriousness and hardworking nature of the Liberian People.
I, therefore, believed even more strongly that we can create a Liberia we deserve,” said Cummings in his year-end message.

Cummings believed one of the important gifts Liberians can give themselves is good governance with respect for the rule of law, peaceful coexistence, and reconciliation as well as love of the country, trust and honesty.
“No jewel is as priceless as leaders in all walks of life who work for the benefit of the people they lead. the relationship between the leaders of Liberia and those they serve should always be guided by the spirit of the Golden Rule, do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” Cummings said.
