Liberia has to take primary responsibility for its own reform agenda. But our resources are limited. We have to attract the private sector to get jobs to our people that will enable us to raise the government revenue, but to do that we have to build infrastructure. It's a very complex problem of development we are facing here.

In Liberia, the big challenge that remains for us is job creation. We want young people to work or go to school. That is our main preoccupation right now.

I just think that unless you have that cohesiveness in the family unit, the male character tends to become very dominant, repressive and insensitive. So much of this comes also from a lack of education.

I work hard, I work late, I have nothing on my conscience. When I go to bed, I sleep.

In Liberia, our salary scales are so low that our judicial system has become corrupt over the years. Now, we need to do some things ourselves.

As more men become more educated and women get educated, the value system has to be more enhanced and the respect for human dignity and human life is made better.

Ethnicity should enrich us; it should make us a unique people in our diversity and not be used to divide us.
