Former Montserrado County Superintendent, Grace Kpaan, has launched a scathing attack on Montserrado County Senator Saah Joseph, describing him as “corrupt beyond imagination” and “unfit to lead any organization, let alone Liberia.”
Speaking during a live appearance on Punch FM on Tuesday, September 3, 2025, Kpaan accused Senator Joseph of “continuously stealing the country’s resources” and misleading the Liberian people. She vowed to actively campaign against him and other political figures, including Representative Thomas Fallah, in the 2029 elections.
> “Saah Joseph needs God. He is a vampire and corrupt beyond imagination. He is incompetent to be president for any organization, least to talk about Liberia. I will be out there in 2029, campaigning against him and other corrupt individuals, including Thomas Fallah. Let them stop fooling the people with their stories,”
Kpaan asserted.
The former superintendent’s remarks have sparked mixed reactions across political circles and social media, with supporters praising her boldness while critics accuse her of personal attacks.
Kpaan has broken her silence after nearly 18 months, emerging with a fiery warning that Liberia is at risk of a bleak and stagnant future unless urgent reforms are undertaken to address corruption, political greed, and poor governance.
Speaking Wednesday, August 27, in a live interview on Fortune TV, Madam Kpaan said Liberia has transformed into what she described as “an angry country,” where frustration and mistrust run through every level of society.
“Everywhere you go, everybody is angry—the boss is angry, the messenger is angry, the clerk is angry. Liberia has become an angry country with angry people. That is why we need transformation and reformation,” she said.
She warned that if Liberia’s leaders and citizens do not rise up to change course, the country risks remaining trapped in stagnation.
“We cannot keep doing the same thing and expect different results. If we don’t change, in the next 10 to 15 years Liberia will be exactly where it is today—suffering, angry, and underdeveloped,” Kpaan cautioned.
Kpaan, who previously faced corruption allegations herself, took a hard look at the country’s governance failures, describing corruption as the biggest obstacle to progress.
“Corruption is a cancer. If somebody does wrong, he must be punished. But in Liberia, people pretend to fight corruption. If impunity continues, we will be in the same cycle 10 years from now,” she said.
She argued that genuine accountability must begin at the top of government, particularly with the presidency.
“The leader must be reborn to punish anybody—regardless of tribe, religion, or relationship. That is the only way others will fear and corruption will end,” she emphasized.
Turning to the recent demolition of the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) party headquarters, Kpaan dismissed the party’s claims of injustice, insisting that the building never belonged to the CDC.
“That’s not your property. You didn’t buy it. You refused to pay rent. Pack your things and go. It’s simple,” she declared. “Don’t cry and make fuss about it. If the owner says move, you move. Under the law, that is their right.”
She further alleged that the building had long served as a hub for crime and drug abuse.
“Let’s be real about it. That place was the first ghetto. We saw raffles, gunshots, and drops coming out of it. All the shacks behind there were ghettos, and they knew it. They didn’t care to stop it because those were the so-called masses,” she explained.
Kpaan also expressed concern over the unchecked mushrooming of political parties in Liberia, which she said weakens democracy and exposes greed among politicians.
“We need a law that compels every political party to own its headquarters. This will push parties to merge and form stronger institutions instead of everyone waking up and establishing a party because they left another one,” she argued.
She described Liberia’s crowded ballots as evidence of selfishness among politicians:
“The last election had up to 24 presidential candidates. Next time it might be 30. What does that mean for Liberia? It shows greed. Everybody wants to eat their own share,” she said.
In a particularly confrontational moment, Madam Kpaan took aim at Montserrado County Senator Saah Joseph, questioning his reputation as a philanthropist and accusing him of exploiting resources intended for the public.
“He was not a good Samaritan. What was given to him for the people, he took for himself and abused it. The buses and ambulances were not his personal property—they were meant for Liberians. Yet the very CDC government gave him fuel and contracts while others were cut off. That is wickedness,” she charged.
Issuing a political challenge, she declared: “Saah Joseph, I’m waiting for you on election day. I’ll defy you. Come on, I’m ready for you.”
Despite her sharp criticisms, Kpaan highlighted her own ongoing work in education and social development, pointing to schools and churches established in rural counties, medical missions, and rehabilitation programs for young people struggling with addiction.
She ended her interview with a passionate call for collective responsibility and citizen action.
“Liberia can change when we have changed people. Each and every well-meaning Liberian should speak out and cry aloud until something happens. We cannot fold our hands anymore. The time for real change is now,” she concluded.
