According to Minister McGill, as it stands issues about benefits owned former presidents and vice presidents are yet to be determined by the Supreme Court as there is a case involving former President Charles Taylor versus the Government of Liberia. As you may be aware former President Charles Taylor had similar situation and the court is yet to rule in that matter,” McGill said. In an interview with FrontPageAfrica over the weekend, Minister McGill said out of magnanimity President Weah offered former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and her Vice President, Ambassador Joseph Nyuma Boakai, two separate vehicles each. In 2013 former President Taylor, from his cell in the UK, wrote the Liberian Senate seeking at least US$25,000 annually in retirement benefits. Boakai not Receiving BenefitsInvestigation conducted by FrontPageAfrica has established that the George Weah-led administration is dragging its feet to pay pension and other benefits to former Vice President Joseph Nyuma Boakai since he left power in January this year.
