The Movement
to Make
Liberia
Better
(MLB)

MLB is an International Development Think Tank and Pressure Group that is working to foster dialogues, discussions, and debates amongst local, national, and international leaders and stakeholders for Liberia.

Think Tank,

MLB brings together parties and stakeholders, academics and policymakers, politicians and students, and the general public together to foster social, political, and economic dialogues and understanding for development. It invites members from all social and political parties to its chatroom and discussions forums to determine the best and brightest ideas and solutions for a new and more transparent Liberia that limits public corruption and bad government.

MLB also works with and endorses individuals and organizations with proven capabilities for public offices based on merit, evaluation, and engagement with the movement that could provide better leadership for Liberians in both the public and private sectors.

As a Pressure Group,

MLB assesses and evaluates the social, political, and economic activities of political parties, foreign and local businesses, foundations and corporations, and the government of Liberia. We conduct research studies, independent audits, and reviews on the social and economic dispensation and its effects on growth, development, and broad-based economic inclusion.

Through its social media and media platforms, MLB publishes press releases, reports, articles, and statements of condemnation; and, routinely makes social and economic recommendations to prevent undemocratic and corrupt practices in Liberian government, NGOs, public and private institutions, and businesses operating in the country. It also informs and educates Liberian voters and the general public on national and local public issues affecting the well-being of the people of Liberia.

MLB's Reform Agenda for Liberia

1) Establish an independent and decentralized government that elects all judges and commissions locally so as to end Presidential appointments of key heads of public institutions and academic institution, which has led to public corruption, embezzlement and conflicts of interest.

2) Work to establish an Independent Central Bank of Liberia with offices in all counties; and create local/county Anti-Corruption Commission,

Elections Commission, Health and Education Boards and functioning local courts in all 15 counties

2) To Review and Amend The Liberian 1986 Constitution to make it mandatory for 50% of government's revenues/budget, and international aid to go directly to the 15 counties and their districts, as opposed to, over-paying the president, legislators, and cabinet members thousands of dollars in pay compensation.

3) To promote social, economic, and political decentralization: Counties and Cities will hereafter be allocated significant portions of the national budget, which will now be maintained and managed not by the central government of Liberia but by the proposed independent central bank and county elected officials.

4) Allow all Liberians ( in the diaspora ) to have full and equal social, political, and economic participation, including electronic voting rights, and to become full residents of a county of their choice irrespective of tribe, and encourage any Liberian to participate in local (County, cities, districts) elections after paying some form of exile/diaspora taxes for that county development

5) MLB supports and backs the United State Congress Resolution H.Res. 1055 (115th con 2D Session) calling for full implementation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission recommendations, including the establishment of an Extraordinary Criminal Tribunal for Liberia.
