My fellow UPP/PACO members, fellow Liberians at home and here in the diaspora, today marks the 5th anniversary of the homegoing of Comrade G. Baccus Matthews, father of multiparty democracy. As we reflect on the successes and failures of our fragile democracy, I hope we remember his works and our nation in our prayers. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace and light perpetual shine on him.
