Rev. Madam Sara Beysolow Nyanti who is also an ordained Revered said the Independence Day is not only an occasion for celebration but also a time for deep reflection. She noted that collective efforts are needed to protect and preserve the democratic values upon which the nation was founded emphasizing that every Liberian must uphold the rule of law, promote transparency, and foster a culture of accountability in all spheres of governance.
