John Morlu II, Former Auditor General of Liberia

Former Auditor General John Morlu II has delivered a scathing critique of President Joe Boakai’s administration, accusing it of poor governance following the dismissal of CDCian supporters. In a forceful open letter, Morlu asserts that Boakai’s actions mirror past administrations’ failures, stressing the need for leadership that prioritizes justice and fair employment practices.

Morlu contends that the Constitution’s provisions for political appointments versus professional civil service roles are being overlooked. He points out the lack of a Presidential Appointment Act in Liberia, which leaves the door open for unchecked presidential appointments and exacerbates administrative chaos.

Morlu condemns the current administration’s approach, likening it to previous administrations that faced criticism for cronyism and mismanagement. He argues that Boakai and his team are repeating the mistakes of their predecessors, notably the firing of CDCians and the undermining of job stability.

Highlighting discrepancies in administrative practices, Morlu criticizes the government’s economic team for their focus on personal benefits rather than job creation. He also condemns the misuse of the Central Bank of Liberia and calls for substantial reforms, including the drafting of a Presidential Appointment Act to ensure transparency and accountability.

The letter concludes with a call for stronger leadership from key figures like Senate Pro Tempore Nyonblee Karnga Lawrence and Speaker Jonathan Fonati Koffa to address these governance issues and restore stability to Liberia’s political landscape.
