In a growing wave of dissent, Liberians are calling on President Boakai, the House of Senate, and the self-styled Majority Bloc to reveal the constitution they are purportedly using to pass the national budget. Critics argue that their actions blatantly violate the 1986 constitution, branding them as unconstitutional. They insist that if the government continues its current course, it must present its version of the constitution to the public to avoid further judgment and scrutiny.
The international community is also aware of the Majority Bloc’s controversial actions, which many view as disorderly and unconstitutional issues. According to critics, it is President Boakai’s role as the nation’s leader to uphold the constitution, yet he is accused of being its primary violator.
Allegations suggest that the President is shielding lawmakers whose actions have been deemed unlawful and is deploying police forces to suppress both lawmakers and citizens who oppose these illegal activities.
Moreover, President Boakai is not only accused of using police force against dissenters but also of leveraging his power to withhold benefits from those lawmakers and citizens who stand against the alleged illegal actions. This has sparked outrage among the populace, who feel their rights and hard-earned benefits are being unjustly denied.
One commentator warned, “What you are doing will come back to bite you, Mr. President, and by then, you will only be a Liberian citizen, not President.” This sentiment echoes the growing frustration and demand for accountability from the nation’s highest office.
