The Editor,
Permit me to pen down my displeasure about the continuous masquerade of an incompetent public servant whose mark of dummy fiscal performance has left our Economy shattered.
For the last few days, I have seen several honouring programs being held in honour of Former Finance Minister Amara Konneh. Are there any reasons why all these charades are carried out?
Why all these empty compliments for a man whose occupancy at the nation’s Finance House demolished the systems of integrity set up by his predecessors (Ngafuan and Antoinette). I sometimes wonder the generation of young people who are themselves deceitfully swamped with those meaningless attitudes of celebrating the nothingness of this guy.
Deeply disconcerted by these idolizing programs and demand a complete halt to such idiocy. Liberians are more concern with the massive thievery at the Ministry of Finance which remains troubling to us.
He was imbued with such portfolio to help support development agenda and reduce the rate of poverty as was the case of one of the brilliant Finance Ministers (Augustine Ngafuan) Liberia had. Inanely, he chose to construct a billboard that adds no value to our Economy.
Amara Konneh has paid more attention on wastefully spending our tax dollars on travel jamborees for his social victims. Why must he carry alone with him thirty-five persons to the US for an international meeting? Were they going on a shopping spree or some kind of …oops can’t say. Why not transfer this money to finance our schools and other community services?
Nothing seems more irritating then the fact that Liberia has become broke under his watch. He and his cohorts have obliterated our country’s covers. I feel pity how we award accolade on people like these.
This is a man whose moral standing has remained a query ever since he surfaced in the public space. Damn! Liberia is in a tragic mess. I am just sick and weary of these rigged displays of honoring programs.
Anyway, I am very optimistic that there are intended consequences for this madness. These short-life bedfellow practices threatening the epicentre of our country’s financial hub will one day be interrogated.
