In a live interview on OK FM's Morning Rush, Liberia’s Minister of Internal Affairs, F. Sakila Nyumalin, Sr., detailed the government's efforts to enhance decentralization and improve local governance. He highlighted the establishment and upcoming operationalization of county service centers across nine counties by mid-May, backed by digitalization support from the World Bank. These centers aim to improve public service delivery and implement the 2022 Revenue Sharing Law, ensuring counties receive 40% of revenue generated from non-natural resources.

The Minister also praised the structure and functionality of his administration and superintendents, noting their dedication to serving the people. He emphasized plans to increase presidential engagement with local officials through monthly Zoom briefings.

Addressing concerns about traditional schools operating during academic sessions, Minister Nyumalin reaffirmed his ministry’s stance—made in collaboration with traditional leaders—to regulate cultural practices. He stressed that while cultural traditions are important, any non-traditional or harmful practices will be reevaluated under President Boakai’s directive to preserve and modernize Liberia’s cultural heritage.
