50% of Sierra Leone’s national budget accounts for recurrent expenditure while 86.7% of Liberia’s budget accounts for recurrent expenditure. From this US$40.6 million plus, the Speaker alone bags US$444,945.00 while the Senate Pro Tempore of the Liberian Senate receives US$482,203.00 in a period of one (1) year. Our National Legislature is one of the most clandestine and incompetent assembly anyone can ever imagine. We must demand immediate reduction in the salaries and benefits of Liberian Lawmakers through mass civil action. Corruption has been an acceptable standard or value in the Liberian Legislature.
