Eliminating A Political Trojan Horse

Harry Greaves, the untouchable fellow who works as Managing Director of LPRC in Liberia has said and continues say things that are very offensive to many people. A released email by this man is causing a buzz and I could not wait to give some solace to all of us:

“This Sieh man has escalated his rhetoric and is now challenging our future. Despite what he said in conversation yesterday, it is clear that he is a Trojan horse with a mission and I am so mad at all of us because it is so easy to get rid of that country boy.”

I
t is apparent that getting rid of a "Trojan Horse" is no longer a mission for the many plotters of evil, for it has become clear that many of those who were considered Trojan horses turned out to be nothing but innocent people who wanted freedom and the same opportunities that were set aside for just a privileged few.

Many of us in the Diaspora are waiting for a dream in which God Almighty will assure us that everything is fine and that we can go home to Liberia without fear of the Herods of our day.In Matthews 2:13-15 the Christ child was to return to his own country only after the death of King Herod, the man who was bent on killing the Savior of the world. I am not saying that many of us carry the characteristics of Jesus Christ. I am not saying that we even come close to being Christ like. What I am saying is that Almighty God works in such mysterious ways that the email above from Kwi-man, civilized-man Harry Greaves couldn't have come out without the handiwork of God Himself.

It is just impossible for the Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf government to succeed in Liberia if her views about progress in this worn-torn country is diametrically different from that of her foot soldiers. Corruption, which has been called enemy number one, will not be eliminated as long as these "civilized boys" continue to threaten those who continuously put their feet to the fire.

Talking about a Trojan horse: In computer science and according to Charles Pfleeger, a Trojan horse is a program that overtly does one thing while covertly doing another. A Trojan horse, in other words, is a special type of virus that spreads its infections from computer to computer.

From administration to administration, Harry Greaves has made headlines. If a Managing Director of a major and lucrative entity in the country has so many stooges and head workers embedded in every agency of government, then who is the real Trojan horse? Who is the carrier of this infectious virus that is bent on eliminating those who are trying day and night to expose such overt and covert activities?

Liberia and its President and people cannot wait to hear and read about this political Code Red worm that is bent on keeping us idling in poverty and disgrace. FrontPageAfrica must not relent in exposing and helping to remove the real Trojan horse from the Liberian society.
