Representative Taa Wongbe ✍️ ✍️
"THIS WEEK WAS A DISGRACE AND LOW POINT FOR OUR DEMOCRACY‼️
This week, members of the Liberian House of Representatives abandoned their constitutional duty, to don yellow and rain praises on the President for the arrival of the “yellow machines”. This was simply shameful! What a disgrace to a group that should be providing oversight! Shame on you all who went!
Let’s be clear: our job as lawmakers is not to be cheerleaders for the executive. It is to provide check and balance, to hold power to account, and to protect the interests of Liberians. When we trade that responsibility for photo-ops and political pageantry, we degrade not only the dignity of this institution, but the very promise of our democracy.
I also believe the President should have sent those sycophants back to do their duties instead of welcoming them and basking in their weightless praises. This was shameful, Mr. President! You are a President who usually exhibit wisdom. You didn’t this time. It was disgraceful.
We’ve been here before…and we have seen this movie before. During the CDC era, sycophants who supported that regime were jolly jollying in red berets and we saw what happened in 2023. Some have forgotten how an uncontested Speaker for six years was whopped massively until he was confused. Populism without accountability has a short shelf life.
We must reclaim what our people entrusted to us: responsibility over theatrics, independence over partisanship, and governance over political theatre. This week was not just unfortunate; it was a disservice to every Liberian who expects better from their Representatives. OUR House is a MESS!
