The National Chairperson of the Unity Party, Luther Tarpeh, has expressed gratitude while emphasizing his commitment to serve the country and advance the party’s agenda.
He made the statement when he responded to his appointment as the Board Chair for the Liberia National Port Authority (NPA) noting, “It is not about the job for me. It is all about the country.”
“I want to leverage my position for several young men and women who worked so hard for President Joseph Boakai’s victory. I want to run the party and ensure we create a brand that has a national appeal,” he reiterated.
He accentuated his dedication to building a Unity Party that prioritizes deliverables, development, and responsive leadership, particularly in addressing the social and economic challenges faced by ordinary Liberians.
“Our goal is to build a Unity Party that stands as a beacon of hope for all Liberians, regardless of their political affiliations,” Tarpeh declared. “We will work tirelessly to deliver tangible results and address the pressing social and economic challenges facing our nation.”
“In accepting this appointment, I am reaffirming my commitment to serving Liberia and advancing the goals of the Unity Party,” Tarpeh concluded. “We will build a Unity Party that focuses on deliverables, development, and robust leadership, listening to and addressing the ordinary Liberians’ social and economic plight.”
He observed that the pressing social and econonomic needs facing the ordinary Liberian people, the importance of rapid responses and effective governance, cannot be overlooked, saying, “If we must rescue this country, we have to seek the social welfare and economic needs of our people. We have to work hand-in-hand to ensure that our country is revitalized.”
Tarpeh, however, expressed his commitment to working alongside the new Managing Director of the NPA, Sekou Dukuly, to enhance the functionality and competitiveness of Liberia’s ports in Sub-Saharan African regions, ultimately contributing to the nation’s progress and the well-being of its citizens.
Dismissing rumors that his visit to the USA was an escape, he clarified that it was solely to reunite with family, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to Liberia, emphasizing that, “Our people are suffering and need rapid response to their social and economic needs. If Liberia is beautiful and progressive, and ordinary Liberians can take care of their families, I am satisfied.”
Chairman Tarpeh also addressed misconceptions regarding his motivations, dismissing suggestions that he sought government employment for personal gain.
