APA-Monrovia (Liberia) President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., has hosted an assembly of members of the House of Representatives to dilate on the development goals set out by his government, APA can report from Monrovia on Monday.
The retreat is aligned with the ruling Unity Party’s so-called rescue mission for Liberia.
A team of UP leaders and strategists were invivted to a one-day Executive-Legislative Agenda Setting Retreat in Tubmanburg, Bomi County on Saturday, April 20, 2024 to compare notes on crafting a more coordinated and effective path to pursuing critical national development goals.
Opening the session at the Bomi City Hall, President Boakai highlighted critical themes in the Agriculture Road Rule of Law Education Sanitation & Tourism (ARREST) Agenda which he said needed to be vigorously pursued by proper messaging and the encouragement of other legislators to support the call of nation building.
The Liberian leader stressed the need for coordinated and more purposeful working relationship which will engender wider support for the realization of set targets.
He reminded his audience that the ARREST Agenda is not a hidden agenda but one that is open for all and aimed at taking Liberians out of poverty and ushering them to prosperity.
The working session brought together more than 20 members of the House of Representatives as they spent hours deliberating on approaches and methods of pushing key points in the legislative agenda as well as a lineup of other development goals of the government.
At the close of the full-day session, the participants signed and issued a joint resolution reflecting their decisions.
The resolution signed by representatives of the three parties declared that “the ARREST Agenda is the best suited and in sync with the national development demands of our time.”
They further averred that they see collaboration, consultation and the sense of common purpose as the most reliable and effective means by which the ARREST Agenda can be achieved.
