My reporting held the same governments (past and present) that paid me accountable. For that, I’m proud. My time on radio held the powerful to account and strengthened democracy in Liberia”.
Kamara disclosed that he engaged some of the toughest personalities through interviews – experiences that strengthened both his confidence and conviction–something he greatly adored and appreciated adding to his enormous experience gained at the institution.
