He said these are part of his government’s pro-poor agenda priorities that should bring short-term success to ordinary Liberians. President Weah also said a committee must be set up to review the recovery and transformation of the ministries of Finance and Development Planning, Commerce, Education, Health and Public Works. Following a careful review of a recast National Budget for Fiscal year 2017/2018, the cabinet, pursuing the government’s pro-poor agenda, mandated a number of priority projects.
