Liberia: Executive Mansion Responds to Former Vice President Statement that Liberia is “Hurtling in the Wrong Direction”The former vice president observed that Liberia under President George Weah’s leadership “appears to have become a rudderless ship adrift on a turbulent sea hurtling towards disaster.”Monrovia – Presidential Press Secretary Isaac Solo Kelgbeh has described as ‘unfortunate’ comments coming from Unity Party Political Leader, former Vice President Joseph Nyemah Boakai. He branded the former Vice President as one of those who have masterminded protests under the George Weah Administration. Kelgbeh said the Liberian Constitution spells out procedures by which elected officials in the country can be removed, which he believes must be followed by the former Vice President. According to him, the United States and Liberia remain allies and have no political differences. The US Embassy has, however, clarified that the temporary suspension has nothing to do with policy differences with Liberia.
