Responding to a Daily Observer inquiry, the EJS Center disclosed that it "has not received any money from the Government of Liberia. On the contrary, the staff of the EJS Center pays taxes to the GOL under the Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) withholdings system from funds provided by institutions outside Liberia." "On the budget allocation issue, the EJS Center was not informed and only learned of this from the report in Frontpage Africa," the EJS Center maintains. Did President Weah live up to his commitment after all, unbeknownst to the EJS Center? Now that the EJS Center is aware of its US$1 million subsidy allotment in the 2022 national budget, the question remains whether or not the Center will accept the money.
