‘ARMED FORCES OF LIBERIA AT CRITICAL STAGE IN ITS DEVELOPMENT,’ SAYS LIBERIAN PRESIDENT, AS MILITARY OBSERVES 56TH ANNIVERSARY; VISITS SITE OF GUINEAN PLANE CRASH

MONROVIA, LIBERIA: President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, also Commander-in-Chief, says the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) has reached a critical stage in its development – one faced with challenges beyond the country’s borders but whose consequences could have enormous impact on Liberia, especially its peace and security. “It is a stage of uncertainties, unfolding realities that we must be prepared to face on a daily basis,” she disclosed, but noted that Liberia’s economic reality, and the potential for growth expansion, creates a unique dimension that could positively impact the level of financial reinforcement needed to sustain the AFL as they continue to develop.

According to an Executive Mansion release, President Sirleaf made the assertion during programs marking the 56th Armed Forces Day at the Barclay Training Center under the theme: “The Armed Forces of Liberia Is Ready, Willing and Capable.”

The Liberian leader noted that although there are competing priorities for limited resources, it is Government’s intention to stay the course in building the tactical and technical capabilities of the AFL as a potential source of economic growth.

She said that a National Defense Strategy will be released shortly, which will outline the strategic imperatives for the AFL. According to President Sirleaf, this Strategy document will consider basic principles of human security, an environment of openness, quality of growth, regional and international peace and security, and an Armed Forces that is subject and accountable to civilian authority. “Upon completion of our National Defense Strategy, work on the National Military Strategy is expected to commence shortly as the architectural design for the Military Table and Organizational and Equipment for the AFL,” the Commander-in-Chief disclosed.

President Sirleaf also announced that in a year, the AFL will be fully operational and a Liberian will be named as Chief of Staff. She disclosed that, in the coming months, she will announce the appointment of a cadre of Officers, indicating her intention and preparedness for a Liberian leadership in the AFL. Already, the process of vetting, training and mentoring personnel is ongoing.

The Liberian leader used the occasion to thank the lead partner in restructuring the AFL, the United States of America, for their commitment through financial, technical and logistical resources.

She also thanked the People’s Republic of China for their support to the AFL. The Chinese Government recently confirmed the shipment of an assortment of construction equipment, worth nearly US$4.5 million, for the AFL Engineering Company.

President Sirleaf further thanked Nigeria, Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers from other ECOWAS countries, Great Britain, Rwanda, Ghana and Sierra Leone for partnering with Liberia in providing mentorship and training opportunities for the AFL.

Delivering the Keynote Address earlier, Ambassador George W. Wallace, Jr., a career diplomat, lawyer and administrator, recommended that the troops’ strength be increased from the current 2,000 to a minimum of 7,500 personnel. “An increased strength will face the increasing new wave of threat engendered by terrorism, trade in drugs and illicit substances, human and trade in small arms and light weapons and the activities of non-state actors,” he noted.

He also recommended that Government considers creating a Navy and an Air Force to defend the country’s long coastline and air space, respectively. “An Air Force will serve as a deterrent, while the Navy will protect our coastline against illegal encroachments on our territorial waters. The Navy will also effectively protect oil and gas facilities off the coast of Liberia,” he warned.

A former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Wallace recommended that the Engineering Company be upgraded to participate and undertake civil works in support of the Agenda for Transformation; that the Agriculture Battalion be reactivated to engage in agricultural activities in order to guarantee food security for the nation; and that legislation for compulsory military training for able-bodied citizens, ages 16 to 45 years, for a one-year period in designated military camps, be enacted, among other recommendations.

During the ceremony, Ambassador Wallace, who is Advisor to the President on Foreign Affairs; Colonel Samuel Kofi Adorkor, Inspector General of the Armed Forces of Ghana; and Colonel Waidi Shaibu, Outgoing Military Assistant to the Command Officer-in-Charge were honored with Distinguished Service Order Awards.

Meanwhile, President Sirleaf has declared Tuesday, February 12, a National Holiday, in solidarity with the Government and people of Guinea after the plane bringing a military delegation to attend the 56th anniversary celebration of the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL), crashed near Charlesville, Margibi County, killing all 11 occupants on board, including the Guinean Army Chief-of-Staff, General Soulaymane Kelefa Diallo.

During the Armed Forces Day ceremony, President Sirleaf lamented the gallant Guinean officers. She requested Guinean Ambassador Abdoulaye Dore, who was at the program, to convey to her brother and colleague, Guinean President Alpha Condé, Liberia’s profound sadness for the loss.

The Liberian leader later visited the crash site along with the Guinean Ambassador Dore, who is also the Doyen of the Diplomatic Corps, and other high-ranking government officials and diplomats. The remains of the crash victims were expected to be taken to Conakry on Tuesday, February 12, escorted by Liberia’s Minister of National Defense, Hon. Brownie Samukai, at the head of a 14-person high-level delegation.

PRESIDENT SIRLEAF DEDICATES FIRST OF FIVE REGIONAL JUSTICE AND SECURITY HUBS IN GBARNGA

GBARNGA, B**G COUNTY: The Government of Liberia and the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) have launched the first of five Regional Justice and Security Hubs in Gbarnga, B**g County, intended to increase citizens’ access to justice and security services in communities in B**g, Lofa and Nimba Counties.

With US$13.3 million provided through the UN Peace-building Support Office for the construction of the five Hubs, the Government plans to open four additional Hubs to be positioned strategically throughout the country. The construction of Hubs 2 and 3 in Zwedru (to support Grand Gedeh and Sinoe Counties), and Harper (to serve Maryland, Grand Kru and River Gee Counties), will commence this year. Hubs 4 and 5 will be built in Tubmanburg (to serve Bomi, Grand Cape Mount and Gbarpolu Counties), and Buchanan (to serve Grand Bassa, Margibi and River Cess Counties).

According to an Executive Mansion release, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, speaking at the well-attended program, emphasized that Government is doing more than simply erecting and dedicating structures. The Hub program is consistent with its new Agenda for Transformation and efforts to improve and reform the Justice and Security Sector, while ensuring that Government is prepared to sustain the peace in light of the UNMIL drawdown and transition.

The Liberian leader said the Justice and Security Regional Hub concept derives from the Government’s initiative to decentralize these services through a regional and county-level approach and the Hub program is proof that decentralization of the Justice and Security Sector is well under way, and that the security of the nation will be sustained, as more and more hubs are constructed and become operational.

“The opening of this first Hub, in the nation’s heartland, is confirmation that we are committed about decentralization, we are committed to serving all over the country, ensuring all our citizens that Monrovia is not Liberia!” President Sirleaf stressed, adding that the decentralization of Government’s services to the people is another indicator of good governance. “Citizens' access to justice and security lies at the heart of the rule of law, and is essential to political stability. Decentralization of public services is a key to extending state authority and ensuring that citizens have a stake in the governance of their country,” the Liberian leader reiterated.

President Sirleaf noted that, as part of the Liberia Peace-building Program – the rule of law, security sector reform and reconciliation – one cannot exist without the other. She said in order for the country to reconcile its differences, the people must first feel safe, and feel that they can rely on the security sector in time of crisis.

Each Hub, she said, is designed to increase citizens’ access to justice and security by co-locating police, courts, and immigration services, adding that the Hubs will also enhance Government’s efforts to extend services from the Capital to outlying and previously underserved areas.

President Sirleaf said that, as in other post-conflict countries, Liberia’s institutions are still fragile and if peace is to endure, international support must be directed not only to traditional development sectors but also to ensuring access to justice and security service, thereby strengthening the rule of law and promoting national reconciliation.

For her part, the United Nations Assistant Secretary-General for Peace-building Support, Judy Cheng-Hopkins, said the dedication of the Hub symbolizes and encapsulate what the peace-building architecture had envisaged in 2005, which was a convergence of innovative concepts. ”It is precisely when a Government has a bold groundbreaking, peace-building vision that the three pillars of the peace-building architecture work best,” she said, adding that through the Hub, Government is trying to reverse decades of neglect to the remote regions of the country and extend its presence and authority throughout the nation.

Mrs. Cheng-Hopkins reiterated that citizens have to see and feel the existence of their Government and to receive tangible services from it, noting that it’s a key dimension not only of peace-building but also of nation-building. She said the UN Peace-building Support Office and the UN Peace-building Fund are proud to be associated with this important endeavor, noting that the Fund has provided US$5.3 million to undertake the first Hub. Another US$8 million has been allocated for the construction of additional hubs, she said, observing that this it is most ambitious project undertaken by the Fund so far.
The Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG), Karin Landgren, said that with the dedication of the Hub, “We are here looking at the future of Liberia – a future where justice and security are brought closer to every Liberian, where greater fairness and accountability increase everyone’s confidence in the rule of law.” She added, “It is a future of greater security, which also contributes to the Government and UNMIL’s overall security transition strategy.”

The Acting Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, His Honor Francis Korkpor, Sr., said that strengthening the rule of law and promoting Security Sector reform need to be simultaneously addressed to achieve better results. He said the priority of the Judiciary is to deliver justice, while that of the Ministry of Justice is to ensure citizens’ security. “Without citizens’ security, there can be no guarantee of an enduring peace, social and economic development,” he said.

The Acting Chief Justice said that although the Hub was originally designed for the Security Sector, the inclusion of the Judiciary creates opportunities for a greater impact for the benefit of Liberians and foreigners within our borders. He said that with the opening of the Hub, the Judiciary celebrates a huge presence in central Liberia, unprecedented in the history of the country. “Indeed, this is part of our transformation,” he said, extending gratitude to the international partners.

The Minister of Justice, Cllr. Christiana Tah, used her remarks to provide an overview of the Hub concept.

The Gbarnga Hub will be staffed by 139 personnel, including police officers, human rights monitors, public defenders, prosecutors, and probation and immigration officers. The Hub concept shows Liberia’s commitment to the Justice and Security Sectors working together, including law enforcement, the courts, state prosecution and defense, and corrections.

Some Hub services are already operational, including specialized services from the Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Crimes Unit. Liberia National Police Officers from the Police Support Unit (PSU) have also begun patrols to help build confidence and trust amongst local communities. Community advisory services and dispute resolution services will be developed at the Hub over the coming months.

The ceremony was also attended by incoming the Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Rule of Law, Tamrat Samuel; a delegation from the UN Peace-building Commission, headed by its Liberia Country Configuration Chair, Ambassador Staffan Tillaner, and its Sierra Leone Country Configuration Chair, Ambassador Guillermo Rishchynski; Internal Affairs Minister Blamoh Nelson; as well as the Superintendents of B**g, Nimba and Lofa Counties, civil society leaders, and representatives of local communities who will be served by the Gbarnga Justice and Security Hub.

REMARKS DELIVERED BY H.E. PRESIDENT ELLEN JOHNSON SIRLEAF
AT THE DEDICATION OF GBARNGA JUSTICE AND SECURITY REGIONAL HUB
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2013


All Protocols have been duly observed.

Let me just say a special word to Ambassador [Staffan] Tillander; a special welcome to Ambassador [Guillermo] Rishchynski; to Assistant Secretary-General Judy Cheng-Hopkins; to all the members that have come from the Country Specific Configuration for Liberia and Sierra Leone.

We are pleased that our entire country will be covered through the five Hubs already identified by those who spoke before me. This landmark Hub initiative originates from the Liberia Peace-building Program, developed between our Government, the UN and national and international partners in November 2010 with the signing of the Statement of Mutual Commitment.

However, as was pointed out by Minister [Christiana] Tah, also by Minister [Blamoh] Nelson, in doing so we are doing much more than erecting and dedicating structures. The Hub Program is consistent with our new Agenda for Transformation and efforts to improve and reform the Justice and Security Sectors, while ensuring that the Government is prepared to sustain the peace in light of the UNMIL drawdown and transition.

The Justice and Security Regional Hub concept derives from the Government’s initiative to decentralize these services through a regional and county-level approach. The Hub Program is proof that decentralization of our Justice and Security Sector is well under way, and that the security of the nation will be sustained, as more and more Hubs are constructed and become operational.

Each Hub is designed to increase citizens' access to justice and security by co-locating police, courts, and immigration services. The Hubs will also enhance Government's efforts to extend services from the Capital to outlying and previously underserved areas.

The opening of this first Hub, in the nation’s heartland, is confirmation that we are committed about decentralization; we are committed to serving all over the country, ensuring all our citizens that Monrovia is not Liberia! The decentralization of governmental services to the people is another indicator of good governance. Citizens' access to justice and security lies at the heart of the rule of law, and is essential to political stability. Decentralization of public services is a key to extending state authority and ensuring that citizens have a stake in the governance of their country.

We know that, as part of the Liberia Peace-building Program – rule of law, security sector reform and reconciliation – one cannot exist without the other. In order for a country to reconcile its differences, the people must first feel safe, and feel that they can rely on the security sector in time of crisis. The decentralization of security officers within a region to respond rapidly – one of the main services of the Hub – is exactly what provides that security.

However, as in other post-conflict countries, Liberia’s institutions are still fragile. If peace is to endure, international support must be directed not only to traditional development sectors but also to ensuring access to justice and security service, thereby strengthening the rule of law and promoting national reconciliation.
In the case of rule of law, the idea is that funding from the Hub concept is being used to strengthen justice and security institutions within the region to effectively provide service to the people, and to also encourage a sense of collaboration and cooperation among the service providers, creating transparency and promoting accountability, thereby altering the perception of “us and them” in the Security Sector.

The Hub concept envisions justice and security in a holistic manner, whilst aiming to strengthen justice and security institutions that are a part of the criminal justice cycle – law enforcement, the courts, state prosecution and defense and corrections in terms of infrastructure and personnel capacity and to build interconnecting linkages between these institutions and the communities which they serve.

In closing, I want to thank our international partners. I want to thank the Liberia Country Specific Configuration, UN partners and bilateral donors who have worked tirelessly in mobilizing resources and providing technical support to make this concept a reality. The Hub benefits from financial support through the Peace-building Fund and bilateral donors through the Justice and Security Trust Fund (JSTF). Continued international financial support is consistent for achieving the goals of rebuilding our nation’s security and rule of law institutions.

However, the primary responsibility for securing peace, for promoting reconciliation, for delivering development rests with us, Liberians, as a whole, in Liberian institutions which serve the people.

Let me also take this opportunity to thank the co-Chairs of the Justice and Security Board – the Minister of Justice, Cllr. Christiana Tah, who has championed this cause; the Acting Chief Justice Francis Korkpor, Sr., and Associate Justice [Philip] Banks for coming on board, for being there with us, for helping us to ensure that the criminal justice cycle is incomplete until there is an effective judicial system. We thank the DRSG for Rule of Law for partnering with them to make this a reality.

Ambassador Tillander, we accept your challenge of the progress that is to be made by 2014, when we expect you and your team – all of you – to be back to celebrate that progress.

Thank you.

UNICEF COUNTRY REPRESENTATIVE, ISABEL CROWLEY, AND INDIAN FORMED POLICE UNIT PAY FAREWELL COURTESY VISITS TO PRESIDENT SIRLEAF

MONROVIA, LIBERIA: separate meetings on Wednesday, February 6, President Ellen Johnson bade farewell to the departing Country Representative of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) - Liberia, Ms. Isabel Crowley, and to nine members of the Female Indian Police Contingent of the UN Mission in Liberia (UNMIL).

Meeting the Liberian leader in her Foreign Ministry Office, according to an Executive Mansion release, Ms. Crowley praised the President and her Government for supporting the work of UNICEF in Liberia, and called her an inspiration for local and international partners working in the country.

She informed the President that education, child protection and healthcare were the main components in the Fund’s 2012 Country Program, with US$7 million spent on child protection, US$6 million on education, and US$12 million on the health sector. A total of US$30 million was spent in 2012 to implement the Country Program, she said, with assurances that the amount would increase to about US$40 million in 2013.

She assured President Sirleaf that UNICEF will continue to work with the Liberian Government to move the Agenda for Children Rights forward. “It is very sad to know that I am leaving Liberia, but I will always endeavor to be in and out of Liberia and help in whatever way I can for the children of Liberia,” Ms. Crowley assured the President.

She praised the Ministers of Gender and Development, Health, Youth and Sports, Labour and Justice for their critical role in preparing Liberia’s Country Report to the Committee on the Rights of the Child, in implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, noting that their contributions were indispensable.

Ms. Crowley also recalled UNICEF’s involvement with the process of establishing the Liberia Development Alliance (LDA), to coordinate the development initiatives of Government, international partners, civil society and the private sector. Ms. Crowley was accompanied by the UNICEF-Liberia Deputy Country Representative, Dr. Fazlul Haque, and Communication Specialist Miraj Pradhan.

Speaking earlier, President Sirleaf informed the outgoing UNICEF Representative that the meeting was an opportunity to show Liberia’s appreciation to Ms. Crowley for four years of productive service to the nation and its children. “You have been very helpful in supporting the Government to respond to the needs of the children of Liberia,” President Sirleaf stressed.

She recounted UNICEF’s support to the Children’s Festival held at the Samuel K. Doe Sports Complex for several years, support to the Liberia Children’s Parliament, the Gender Ministry, as well as financing the preparation of Liberia’s report to the Committee on the Rights of the Child, as major instances of support to the Government of Liberia.

President Sirleaf urged Ms. Crowley to see Liberia as her home, and expressed the hope that she would return, in the future, to see the fruits of the work she has done for the Liberian people. “You stayed here much longer than is allowed because we pleaded for your stay based on the quality of work UNICEF was doing in Liberia under your leadership,” the Liberian leader concluded.

President Sirleaf subsequently presented a formal letter of appreciation to Ms. Crowley in recognition of her valuable services to Liberia.

Female Indian Contingent

When she received members of UNMIL’s Female Indian Police Contingent, President Sirleaf expressed Liberia’s gratitude and appreciation to the nine departing officers for the valuable services rendered the country and its people.

The President told the police officers that history will record them for contributing to the peace and security of Liberia, and the world at large. She described the unit as an exceptional group, recognized globally for its level of professionalism, while noting that their presence in Liberia has inspired the women in the country to develop an interest in the security sector.

Also making remarks, the unit’s Commanding Officer, Karuna Rai, congratulated the President for being awarded India’s most prestigious honor, the Indira Gandhi Award for Peace and Disarmament, and expressed satisfaction about the cordial relationship with the population since their arrival in 2011.

She informed President Sirleaf that the contingent was also involved in providing humanitarian services to the local population through a clinic owned and operated by medical officers of the unit. “We treat between thirty to forty patients daily, and see the opportunity as a golden period of our professional career,” she stated. The unit will depart Liberia on February 15.

CHEVRON-LIBERIA AND BAYLOR COLLEGE OF MEDICINE TO PROVIDE PEDIATRIC HEALTH SERVICES TO LIBERIA

MONROVIA, LIBERIA: Chevron-Liberia Limited, in collaboration with the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, in the United States, has disclosed that in its five-year partnership program with the Government of Liberia, it will provide pediatric health services to the children of Liberia.

The Chevron-Liberia Country Manager, Karl L. Cottrell, said its pediatric health services will involve several hospitals, including the John F. Kennedy Medical Center, and Redemption and St. Joseph’s Catholic Hospitals. He added that the partnership will also include working with the Liberian Government to import and equip laboratories for children health services and the training of laboratory staff.

According to an Executive Mansion release, Mr. Cottrell made the disclosure when a delegation from the Baylor College of Medicine paid a courtesy call on President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf at her Foreign Ministry office.

Senior Vice President of the Retro-virology Section of the Texas Children’s Hospital, Dr. Michael B. Mizwa, expressed his happiness to be a part of the partnership program, and pledged his institution’s support to the partnership with Chevron and the Government of Liberia to fight child mortality in Liberia. Dr. Mizwa also pledged to make several trips to Liberia, to monitor and enhance the impact of the program on the Liberian people.

Speaking earlier, Health and Social Welfare Minister, Dr. Walter Gwenigale, appealed to Chevron-Liberia to consider establishing a pediatric hospital in Liberia as the company has done in Nigeria and Angola. Responding, Mr. Cottrell observed that the idea was brilliant; but suggested that the appeal be forwarded to Chevron Headquarters in Houston.

For her part, President Sirleaf expressed excitement about the health service delivery partnership and pledged her administration’s willingness to do whatever possible to enhance it. She said that she would like to work with Chevron to see the program expand to other parts of Liberia, building on the success of those facilities currently benefiting from the partnership. The President directed Minister Gwenigale to work with the Baylor College of Medicine and Chevron to fully realize the dream of the partnership.
