USA -- Former Press Union of Liberia (PUL) President, Mr. Abraham G. Massaley has said that President Sirleaf used "soft power" to keep the legislature in check and the students quiet but grossly neglected to lead. He said President Sirleaf was presented with the best opportunity for Liberia's development than any other Liberian President but said she squandered that golden opportunity, pointing out that her government will be best remembered for corruption. The former PUL President said the government under President Sirleaf became a cash cow for public officials, and lamented that our people were constrained to stand in line to get crumbs for survival from those public officials. He also said our public officials today (elected and appointed) are the least respected than any time in his life time, and declared that President Sirleaf simply failed to lead. “There is no doubts on my mind that the 53rd Legislature was corrupt, weak and ineffective", the former PUL President said.
