The Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) government has refused, up to this moment, to take any blame for the country’s crumbling economy despite being in office for more than one year, and has blamed the past government of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf for the current failure and its attendant hardships on the people. “This government — I mean the Weah administration — has accepted the challenges left behind by the past administration and is working to turn the situation around for the good of the Liberian people,” he said. The Speaker, who has been a member of the House of Representatives since the beginning of the Sirleaf administration, said the failure of the past administration to properly legislate or put into law several concession agreements are responsible for the nation’s failing economy. About the work of journalists in the country, Speaker Chambers said journalists should stop stereotyping people for the sake of satisfying the political interests of others. We are in a country of law and I am of the strongest conviction that Liberians respect laws,” Chambers noted.
