Challenges, Mistakes And Missed Opportunities ...Boakai’s First Year X-Rayed By Staunch Supporter

Gbarpolu County Senator Amara Mohammed Konneh, who was a notable figure, in fact one of the influential figures in ensuring that President Joseph Nyuma Boakai Sr. was elected to the presidency, has provided a damming x-ray of the leadership, which he helped to make.
Senator  Konneh in his recent Facebook article following his return after vacationing in the United States of America (USA) for months, stated that although macroeconomic stability has improved since the elections, the Boakai Administration's first year has been marked by significant challenges, mistakes, and missed opportunities than officials would publicly admit.
The Gbarpolu County lawmaker pointed out that there has been no new considerable investment, electricity issues persist, high unemployment has increased, and drug use has increased.
Senator  Konneh also frowned greatly at  the conduct of the Liberian Legislature, terming it as an extension of the Executive Branch.
“The legislature is chaotic and benign and largely acts as an extension of the executive branch, making work there frustrating,” he lamented.
“The geopolitical presence of China, Russia, and the US is undeniable, and global economic trends are increasingly uncertain, with anti-incumbent candidates gaining traction in elections worldwide. Political governance in Sierra Leone has become exceptionally toxic. Elections are on the horizon in Cote d’Ivoire this year, and security issues persist in Guinea. I recognize the desire of regime supporters to defend everything, including failures, but acknowledgment is the crucial first step in resolving challenges.”
“Governance is like football. Sometimes, you score, and sometimes, you miss. It is what you do after you have missed that counts the most. As we reflect on 2024, what direction will Liberia take in 2025? Does President Boakai need a new approach? To be successful, leaders need dissenting voices among their advisors.
