A senator of Sinoe County Craton O. Duncan, has outrightly attacked the government of being intensity to the plights of counties in the Southeast. Though, the government has taken several development projects in the Southeast, Duncan is of the opinion that “electing Joseph Boakai Nyuma Boakai as President, was the worst of mistakes Liberians have made.”
In a rather valiant statement that now reverberated throughout the Southeast, Sen. Duncan declared that electing Boakai was “the worst mistake made by the Liberian electorates.”
Duncan’s remarks come amid growing concerns about the direction the country has taken under the Boakai leadership.
Duncan said, only Lofians are appointed to financial institutions. He made specific references on Central Bank Executive Director Henry Sarmor, Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) Commissioner Dorbor Jallah, and Finance and Planning Minister Augustine Kpehe Ngafuan.
Duncan made the outburst at program held in his honor by a group under the Banner Petty: Traders of Bushrod Island.
The ceremony was hosted on the Bushrod Island over the weekend. From there, Duncan expressed his discontent with the current administration, attributing various socio-economic challenges facing the country to Boakai’s policies and governance style.
He argued that the decision to elect Boakai was not only a “personal disappointment, but a collective error with detrimental effects on the nation.”
“Electing Joseph Nyuma Boakai was a decision made in haste and without considering the long-term implications for our country,” Duncan stated as though he lives with irreproachable character.
“So, he too forgot what he did to Mills Jones,” one person remarked within the gathering.
“Under his leadership, we have seen an alarming rise in unemployment, a decline in public services, and a general sense of despair among the populace.”
Duncan’s critique focused on areas, including the economy, healthcare, and education.
He described the current economic environment as stagnant, with many young people unable to find work and families struggling to make ends meet.
