2020 Study Trumpeted IssueLike President Weah and LEITI, the Boakai administration appears to be following similar tone, interpreting the laws to suit its quest to have Weah-era tenured officials. The study avers: “In this form of administration, presidents (heads of state) view the administration of policies as a “personal affair,” give public officials authority on a need basis, and “treat officials arbitrarily,” while public officials treat citizens in a similar manner. Bushuben Keita ruffled feathers when he disclosed that the President’s cabinet has granted the President the authority to replace all tenured officials except those safeguarded by the Constitution. He highlighted that tenured positions created by statute were deemed in violation of Article 56a, which outlines the tenure of government officials appointed by the President. More importantly, some stakeholders are quietly hoping that the governments of the day allow officials, tenured or not, to campaign during election season without feeling pressured or obligated to show solidarity with the ruling party government.
