Liberia has to be serious. RIA is in crisis. An aviation technocrat or a top-notch business professional with rare managerial competency is needed.
Nominating an academic fraudster like Darlington T. Karnley to serve in such a technical post is like nominating a canoe man to serve as a pilot. The only best guess is a CRASH. The plane will certainly crash land. This is where Liberia is getting it all wrong. The Republic deserves far better than comedy.
