IMPRESSION OF LEGISLATIVE BRANCH
| |
-
Shame on those that are voting in favour of
down-right unconstitutional laws!
05/10/2007

That ultra important brach of government is
occupied by fools, functionally illiterates and
down right stupid individuals. It is very
unfortunate that our people "elected" such
trashy group to represent them.

While it is true that these legislators are
allegedly corrupt, they are not stupid. They
understand that Ellen is a moral depravity of
kleptocracy. Therefore, they have embarked on
creating means of ligitimately embazzling funds.
For example: Ellen allowed only Sinkor Trading
Company (monopoly) to import rice in Liberia.
She gets at least $2.00 on every bag of rice
sold. She brought legal immigration charges
against K&K,and closed George Haddat down from
importing rice for life. She allocated $295
million dollars for so call paying "domestic
debts." According to her standard of
measurement, government owed past rent to a
Ghanian landlord and some house owners since
1984. There is no varifiable evidence to back
that claim. However though, she and her finance
minister allegedly shared the money amongst
themselves. She had just created another
bureacracy for Dr. sawyer calling it GRC. Sawyer
requested for 25 million dollars for his GRC.
She gave Sawyer his and took hers; eventhough
she has a policy of right and down sizing, and
limited government. LPRC Harry Grieve is not
part of the fiscal budget. She and Uncle Harry
own LPRC. She allotted 1 million dollars for her
office staffs every month. She allegedly got 15
million dollars from Mittal Steel in order to
give them the green light needed to operate. The
list of corrupt and ethical inproprierity on
Ellen''s part doesn''t seem to have an end.
Therefore, these law makers are finding ways of
chopping too. Let me make it very clear; there
is no moral equavocation to justify this
evolution of an unpopular culture. The law
makers gamic is unacceptable and awfully
embarrassing.. They all are guilty of the same
crime. Let them not get away with it.

we should not cast judgment on the entire
legislative branch, but we should judge
righteously. Those corrupt individuals must be
voted out in the next general election. A hint
to the wise is quite sufficient.

Why are some of you guys frowninig and
condemning these legislators now. Why
investigation now? Why Ellen thinks the
Financial Autonomy Act is characterized with
plain possession of demonic evil? Ellen, you had
set the stage for her own government failure. In
fact, growing evidence has suggested to the
Liberian people that this President has no
regards for the law.For example:It was alleged
that Ellen gave some legislators about $
5,000.00 to sign a petition in the removal of
Speaker Snowe. Nothing came out of that case.
The Supreme Court ruled that the business and
setting of some of the renegade law makers in
the township of Virginia was illegal and
unconstitutional. The President was served a
letter not to go to the Unity Conference Center
by the Supreme Court. She ignored and
disrespected her own Court. Reason being that
she wanted Snowe to go down at all cost. She
clandestinely wrote a letter to Nigeria asking
for the former President of Liberia unilaterally
without the aquiance and consent of our people.
Taylor was arrested and handcuffed right in
Liberia with Tiawon Gongloe (solicitor General)
reading Taylor''s right, eventhough Liberia has
no charge on him. Let them sort it out. It is
good for Liberia. We want our Country back from
these bunch of criminals including the convict
turned president (Ellen). At least that criminal
record has not being expunged yet. Therefore,
she is still a criminal.
05/11/2007
-
The most corrupt group ever. If elections were
held today, those group of idiot would be out.
05/12/2007
-
They are bunch of irresponsible people.They go
around crediting money from money changers and
most of them lack their own dwellings. They need
to redeclared their assets or we sor them out.
Any legislator without a home must be impeach
immediately.
05/13/2007
-
This is another attempt by greedy and
unscrupulous, so-called "lawmakers" to usurp the
legitimate authority of a constituted
government, elected by the people and for the
people. It is obvious that they are not on the
side of Liberia, but their own greedy side.

Less than a quater of them are quite competent
while the rest are a bunch of highly incompetent
individuals. We will get them during the next
election and I can gurantee the Liberian people
that we would repeal most of the laws enacted by
these incompetent, self aggradizing individuals
05/14/2007
-
Worthless corrupt individuals who thrive on the
culture of impunity!!
05/14/2007
-
I don''t think Ellen will pursuit this route of
exposure of the National Legilature on
corruption charges. Reason being that she is
afraid of reprisal. She could be publically
embarrassed, exposed, impugned with
condescession, and possibly be impeached and
removed from office for felony, misdemeanor in
high places, and constitutional violation.
Remember,Ellen has so many baggages and dirts.
Therefore, Ellen is smart enough not to push the
envelop.She will cut enough slacks for them.
However though, they are all incompent and
corrupt. Therfore, we must reclaim our Country
back. We want a liberia attainable within our
times that these kind of behaviors can not
exist.
05/14/2007
-
The facts speak for themselves. These killers
and their criminal accomplices mixed with a few
mediocres have not put forward a single Social
Act for any public policy and social welfare
program. Their constuencies must know that their
non-caring lawmakers are simply as graves which
look great on the outside , but nothing but
rotteness in the inside. The nine years MUST be
reduced to three years.
05/14/2007
-
So sad and embarrassing. The fact that a lot of
those Legislators personally participated in the
civil war and killed innocent Liberians makes it
sad and embarrassing that Liberians could vote
them into office as Legislators.This proves to
the world that something is wrong with
Liberians.Had it not being for the good
reputation and credibility of president Ellen
Johnson Sirleaf,many countries would not be
supporting our efforts to restore peace and
sanity to our beloved country.This is why
president Sirleaf is continuously travelling
around the world seeking assistance. My only
hope is that president Sirleaf will get the
necessary support for Liberians to get quality
education. With education, I personally believe
that Liberians will make better judgement next
time around.I hope the bad apples are weeded out
time to come. Emmanuel O.

Except for avery few leveled headed individuals,
the Legislature is composed of bunch
murderers,common thieves,illiterate fools who do
not know the letter " L'' in Legislature. What
else can we expect from such a body other than
bribery, extortion and the likes.
05/14/2007
-
They are the worst and need to be change
05/14/2007
-
they lack direcction, nationlism and has over
the time since they got elected brought more
disgrace to Liberia than what all the wars in
Liberia have done.
05/14/2007
-
Wyh blame those scoundrels when the voters
elected them into office in the first place? We
had over fifteen candidates running for the
presidency and they all forgot about the
Legislature leaving that August body to thieves
and you know what. It''s a new day in Liberia
with a New Sheriff in town.

I am greatly diappointed in my so-called
lawmakers who seek their own interest. Dweh N.
Nyenmoh, II Monrovia, Lineria

These people should be taught good governance,
parliamentary procedures,and about the
Constitution of Liberia. They should avoid
oppong''s party, charles taylor''s npp, lurd''s
rebel party, and Ellen''s Unity Party but rather
concentrate on how to improve the country and
livelihood of the citizenry. They are engaged in
elementary and high school politics. The
legislators should be cross trained in
diplomacy,public speaking, work ethics, business
ettiquette, Liberian history, international
relations. How many of these lawmakers can face
the US media during for interviews, briefings,
and press conferences? Most of these people are
concerned about luxurious cars, US dollars
salaries, fringe benefits and do not seek the
interest of their constituents.
05/15/2007

A few good apples amongst the worst group of
lawmakers in Liberia - animals, not humans.
05/15/2007
-
The TLA and INA (I stand to be corrected) wanted
to change the tenure of this august body. This
was only considered when they were on their way
out. HOW HYPOCRITIC!!!! How can Senators and
Representatives of the house be in power to
STEAL for all those years????? I challenge any
of you to sponsor a bill to reduce your
tenure!!! Progressives like Mobutu Nyenpan and
Rufus Neuville should take the first step. I am
also looking forward to Cletus Wotorson, Dusty
Wollokollie and Blamo Nelson to do this in the
interest of the Liberian people. You all will
NOT be in office forever. Who amongst you DARE
to put aside his interest for once, and really
serve us???? Oh, before I go, roguish QUEEN
Cyril Allen, Lewis “stolen money” Browne, Benoni
“Taylor’s pet” Urey, Edwin “NOSE” Snowe, Samuel
“Commerce Rogue” Wlue and all of you who think
you have gotten away with stealing our money,
will be persecuted. Ask Dr. Momoh “Educated”
Gibba. Arm Robbers and Issakaba, Joe Tate is
really turning in his grave!!!! -HRH
05/15/2007
-
they are all rubbish, greedy
05/15/2007
-
They are all people of no directions. They have
no agenda, worst of worst.
05/16/2007
-
All I have to say is look at the past records of
these legislators and see what they did prior to
winning the elections. I think we will have a
better crop of legislators after the next
elections.
05/16/2007
-
I think it will be better to narrow the question
to a specific issue rather than the impression
of the First Branch. Thanks, Good Luck.
05/17/2007
-
They have a hidden selfish agenda for
themselves. But the Liberian people are no more
fools. Majority of them got over there by chance
hanging on the cloak of an icon. We know
them...There will be a veto!
05/17/2007
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah
05/17/2007
-
i am a liberian and i hate the fact that
majority of the lawmakers aspire to that
position. every liberian i know has one goal in
mind. "I want to work for the government so i
can steal money" or i want to be in government
so i can get all of the 14 to 21 year old girls
to have sex with. Or i can get a dash from being
a lawmaker. What a shame
05/18/2007
-
True. But I believe 2012 elections will produce
better lawmakers.
05/18/2007
-
The present Liberia''s legislative branch of
government is mostly a bunch of opportunistic,
self-angradizing individuals who think, like the
other two branches, that Liberia belongs to them
and therefore it is theirs for the taking. It is
awfully so corrupt, need not mention for its
obviousness, that it defies being baffled. What
a farce. My People, we need people with
integrity and some conscience to lead our
country. What do you intend to do about it?
Please help us help ourselves and leave the
dated ideologies by the wayside for the benefit
of our entirety.
05/18/2007
-
corrupt people with many lies.
05/18/2007
-
The legislative branch of the Liberian gov''t is
the most corrupt and less impressive body i have
ever seen.5/19/07 JAMAAL
05/19/2007
-
We have got right now to make atleast alot right
and those criminals are only thinking of
themselves and families and increase pay while
80% of the country still live on $1.00 a day and
girls as young as 13 and fourteen are
prostituting for food and money for education.
05/19/2007
-
These lawmakers are not ashame of
themselves,that is why they need to be changed
at once at the next elections because mama
Liberia does not need them at all.How in this
world can lawmakers exemp themselves from paying
taxes and expect the poor people to suffer by
compelling them to pay their taxes?This country
needs law-abiding citizens and not these
looters!
05/20/2007
-
inexperience folks, need to learn how to make
law
05/20/2007
-
They are just after their own selfish interest
and not the welfare of the Liberian people.
05/21/2007
-
all we hear is give me the money
05/21/2007
-
they are the best because they have a leader
that will not compromise the integrity of
leadership with bribes and influence. we need an
american checks and balances system which will
reduce the abuse and influence of government
officials. I still say that the liberian men are
immature, greedy, and individuals who thrive on
exploiting young girls with their influence and
money(they also have daughters)
05/21/2007
-
political inabilities and education are the
needed tools killing the system in both houses.
05/21/2007
-
I think it is unfortunate the situation with the
this "Financial Autonomy Act" been passed by
both houses of the Legislature. I mean, are
these elected officials representing the people
or they''re here to enrich themseves. I believed
that been elected to represent your people means
you''re now a servant of the people. How many
times has these so called Senators and
Representatives gone back to their constituecies
to brief their citizents on legislation been
debated or passed? Shame on them with their so
called "Financial Autonomy Act."
05/22/2007
-
We need to set ablaze this bunch of non-carring
and corrupt lawmakers while they are in session!
05/22/2007
-
The Liberian President needs to stay her black
old ass in LIberia and run the damn country!!!
this shit is not a damn vacation.
05/23/2007
-
Some lawmakers are "factioned" oriented just as
they were during the past elections.
05/23/2007
-
because they are not educated to the letter
05/23/2007
-
History will repeat itself, as it always has and
will. Why would it be different this time?
05/23/2007
-
Let us be real here. What is this Act called?
Financial Autonomy Act. Is that right? I think
it is right. What''s wrong with being Autonomous
and Independent Financially? Especially when the
Executive and Judiciary have the same thing.
Liberians, open your eyes. Ellen and her
diciples are bunch of tricksters and
kleptominaic. Don''t let them fool you. How is
Ellen making all these Travel trips, Donations
and bribes in the first place if the Executive
weren''t Autonomous and Independent Financially?
You can fool some people some times, but you can
not fool all of the people all of the times. The
bottom line here my fellow Liberians, Ellen
does''t want these Legislators Autonomous.
Reason being that their autonomy will metagate
unduly influence from the Executive. Like the
previous writer said Ellen will not push the
envelop. It will pass and become law.
05/23/2007
-
Bunch of criminals seeking self interest. Don''t
be suprise when their time expire, they will
take the office equipments with them. No one
cares for Government property in Liberia, not
even Ellen.
05/24/2007
-
May someone please tell me why we can not see
Ellen and Gaddafield, Ellen and Bliss Capara in
a publically viewable fashion? Why their photos
are not perminantly displayed on the internet,
or other news outlet? Too mush double standard.
Ellen you will be a victim of your own trap. And
for your stooges and lousy supporters, they have
two options,they either change their personal
behavior problems, or be caught out in an
inescapable reality of shame.
05/24/2007
-
I believe this marks the type of men and women
who are our today "Honorables". They like us
hear about all the "BIG MILLIONS" supposingly
pouring into the coifers of the nation and so,
to be able to enrich themselves and their
families, they seek to put into place a law that
will not in anyway bar their spending. They are
so moreover because over half of them do not
know anything. Can you imagine, Prince Johnson
speaking of "Transparency and Democracy"?
05/24/2007
-
The Sirleaf Goverment, is the best The Country
ever had.
05/25/2007
-
Can you imagin, these so call lawmakers make and
seek their own personel interest and above all
they have no regards for the rule of laws by
stealing what they did not put there.
05/26/2007
-
Some of those idiots need to be thoroughly
schooled about the responsibility of a
legislator and the fact that they are servants
of the public who pay their salaries by taxes
which every citizen has an obligation to pay
under the laws of the Republic of Liberia. How
dare some idiots come up with such stupid notion
on the grounds that this will provide for
transperency in government.
05/27/2007
-
I don''t have much coments, but I only have a
word for those who thinks that Mrs. Sirleaf''s
trips are wasteful must revove the cloth of
critisism from their face and see what she is
doing.And remove the wax from their ears to hear
what she is doing. Thank you Peter W. Nagbe
Monrovia.
05/28/2007
-
No matter what happens, we love Madam Sirleaf.
She and our partners in progress will develop
Liberia. We just need some time. You guys will
be made shame. We will not support any WAR CRIME
COURT in Liberia. Reason being that it will
undermine reconciliation. Most importantly, you
guys want to arrest and handcuff Ellen. Let us
bury our hatchet. Ellen was never part of any
Rebel group including Taylor NPFL. We forgive
LURD''s Daminte Conneh, Prince Johnson, George
Borly, Black Bera''s Brownie Samuka, Alihaji
Kromah, Rosevelt Johnson, Francio Massaquo, and
Aheshi Conneh. We want Ellen to be president for
life. Long live the queeen. Your next traval
trip must be at the Moon. Please don''t forget
to plant the Liberian Flag while visiting the
Moon. We love you. These people don''t know how
good you are. You hate War. UNIMIL will remain
in Liberia until you die in office.
05/28/2007
-
They are all vultures with misplaced priorities.
Instead of trying to help empower the very
people who elected them to help contribute to
the betterment of Mama Liberia they are rather
seeking for their own financial gains. None have
ever spoken about a public library in their
districts for a nation with a high illiteracy
rate or an IT training center.
05/29/2007
-
I just read this fpa exckusive about the prince
Alwaleed housing projuct. My question is what is
role of the ministy of planning and the ministry
of public works in producing the site plan for
this projuct? I thought they are oversite
responsiblity over such as design since no
toliet is included in the project.
05/30/2007
-
Can Ellen and her LOUSY SUPPORTERS tell the
Liberian People why LPRC, NPA, LRPA, RIA, and
etc ARE NOT PART OF THE PROPOSED 2007/2008
FISCAL BUDGET? How will their impervious answers
benefit Liberia? This OLD LADY is a political
ventriliquist and a moral depravity of
kleptocracy. She did the same thing last year
and nothing came out of it. She got away with
it. We were not stupid, but her bribed Media
criminally ignored the severity and extremity
and swept the story under the rug. Ellen, STOP
setting our Country up for more chaos. Are you
telling us LPRC, NPA, RIA, and the Liberia
Rubber Planters Association are not making money
enough to be part of our BUDGET? Where these
ENTITIES MONEY ARE GOING? I remember paying
Government US$1,700.00 in order to clear my
building materials from the Freeport of
Monrovia. Just last month, I pay US$25.00 for
airport tax while coming back to the States.
What happened to my money? Are they unaccounted
for? Ellen, your 15000/18000 gods will not be in
Liberia forever. STOP!!!! A hint to the wise is
quite sufficient.

Corruption and greed are the main and only
substances which flow through the veins and
arteries this group of individuals.
05/30/2007
-
ms johnson sirleaf will not allow massive
corruption to occur. there will always be
corruption but not at the high levels that the
preceding administrations were privy to. there
will always be allegations but to not have
allegations is purely a crime in a dictatorships
that we had. as a liberian in america, i cannot
fathom the high levels of corruption that occurs
in liberia. it takes a worman to run this show
with class and dignity (something that has never
occurred in our history) We liberian should be
thankful and not spend our time constantly
critizing. ARE YOU PART OF THE PROBLEM OR THE
SOLUTION????????
05/30/2007
-
I beliee there a few rotten apples among the
legislators that are persuading their colleagues
to enact selfish laws that plunge our country
deeper into poverty rather than taking it out of
poverty.
05/30/2007
-
they are all gravy seekers and rebel as charles
taylor
05/30/2007
-
Liberians both home and abroad, anticipate sound
Legislations regarding candidates vying for
positions in the house of Legislature in
conformative to International Legislative
standards. To the dismay of the Liberian people,
they busy making laws to accommodate their
selfish and personal aggrandizement. Thanks be
to God for a Level-headed Executive for vetoeing
their selfish, useless and so-called Act.
05/31/2007
-
These guys are heartless and do not love this
country. But what do you expect of a group of
half educated, non skilled and
ill-professionals. Just this. Also,the fact that
a good percent of these guys are from some
political parties that claimed they have a
politicle force given they percentage of votes
in their favour during this elections would have
said nothing to this art but have press
conferences to criticize the government budget
and other ossue relative to the budget and then
the rice issue shows that they are in support of
these guys and they too care not for the
liberian people but their own political gain
which even a child can guess to do worst than
those in house.corrupt, flirt, and Etc
05/31/2007
-
Speaking about rebel Leader turned President
Charles Taylor, he is the one most Liberians
love and like to see him President again. You
guys know it. If he was released from prison
today and ELECTIONS were held, HE WILL
OVERWHELMINGLY WIN THE PRESIDENCY.It has been
proven time and again.
05/31/2007
-
I am very concern about the liberian lawmakers.
I do not know if they understand what is at
stake for the country. They are not enacting
laws that will take care some of the problems we
have in the country such as improving the
sanitary conditions that have taken over the
countyr for centuries, but they are seeking
their own interest. What will they do to be
remebered for by the next generation?
05/31/2007

Let''s get Ellen an apartment in DC. Oh, and
while were''re at it, GOL should expand the
Embassy creating a field office for the queen of
Afrique Noire.
05/09/2007

Before blaming them, blame Ellen first. She is
as corrupt as the legislators.
05/09/2007

The Legislative Branch: Perhaps for the first
time in the history of our beloved
country-Liberia; we are experiencing a total
separation of Power-and- adding further to the
debate, this independence has also manifested
itself in the Supreme Court. These Lawmakers
should be commended for taking bold steps, be it
in Revisting previous/decade old Contractual
Agreements, to a thourough examination of The
National Budget. Today, we are witnessing a new
kind of institution -Democracy-a dispensation by
the people to their elected officials-that good
governance requires a check -and balance-system.
Fellow Liberians, we must all celebrate this new
enterprise-something we have all long for since
1847. Masu Fahnbulleh North Carolina

In the not too distance furure, they will be the
best Liberia have ever had if they weed out the
bad,corrupt and unqualified individuals,
