Whistleblowers in Fear, Economic Turmoil Hits the Region and Philanthropists Plug Healthcare Gaps

Liberia: Democracy in Focus

Coming up in this episode… as corruption plagues the Weah government we talk to whistleblowers who say they’re paying a heavy price.

We look at the economic turmoil threatening political instability across the region. At the same time the government back tracks on claims it’s reduced poverty. World bank data shows things are getting worse.

The government loses its first case in the trafficking ring to Oman.

And, with Liberia’s health care system in crisis, some wealthy Liberians are plugging the gap one patient at a time.
