Chairman Bombo also stated that Team Gongloe envisage a Liberia where there is strict and uncompromising adherence to the rule of law, and a Liberia in which the the Judiciary is fully independent and administer Justice without fear or favor.

Cllr. Bombo added that Team Gongloe also envision a Liberia where citizens are equal before the law, and a Liberia in which the Legislature makes laws that benefit the Liberian people.

“A Liberia in which corruption is a capital crime, a Liberia in which public officials are public servants and not rulers of the people.”

Chairman Bombon adds:” A Liberia in which the citizens are prime movers and shakers of the nation’s economy, not bystanders, while others(Foreigners) call the shots”.

Team Gongloe national chairman also added that under the leadership of Cllr. Gongloe, Liberia will go back to the soil to take its previous role in the agriculture industry.
