MONROVIA, LIBERIA-Naymote Partners for Democratic Development has called on the Liberian Government to strengthen transparency and accountability mechanisms as the country enters the third year of President Joseph Nyuma Boakai’s administration.
According to a Naymote release, infrastructure development efforts, including roads, electricity, ports, airports, and digital connectivity, require a publicly accessible delivery dashboard that clearly outlines timelines, budgets, implementation status, and responsible institutions.
The release noted that while welcoming reported reforms in governance and anti-corruption, Naymote stressed that gaps in enforcement, digital transformation, and service delivery must be urgently addressed to ensure reforms translate into tangible benefits for citizens.
Naymote further called for greater disclosure of implementation data, a clear distinction between completed, ongoing, and planned projects, stronger links between economic growth and job creation, especially for young people under the ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development.
Meanwhile, the release also urged urgent attention to constitutional and electoral reforms, noting that Liberia’s current constitution is outdated and no longer fully reflects the needs of an evolving democracy, while reaffirming its commitment to constructive engagement with government and development partners.
At the same time, Naymote Partners for Democratic Development has described President Joseph Boakai’s 2026 State of the Nation Address as a comprehensive outline of the government’s reform priorities under the ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development and national renewal.
According to Naymote, the Address presents a coherent policy direction, with emphasis on macroeconomic stabilization, domestic revenue mobilization, infrastructure development, governance and anti-corruption reforms, and Liberia’s renewed international engagement, among others.
Naymote, in a release, also acknowledged verifiable progress in areas such as domestic revenue growth, improved audit compliance reaching 37 percent, strengthened payroll integrity, and expanded service coverage across sectors.
However, Naymote noted that major implementation gaps remain, pointing out that more than 60 percent of audit recommendations are yet to be implemented.
Meanwhile, the release emphasized that the real test of progress lies in effective implementation, transparency, and measurable improvements in the daily lives of citizens, urging the government to back policy commitments with publicly verifiable data and accountability mechanisms.
