A former official of government has suggested that the administration of President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf should halt all further reviews, negotiations and determinations appertaining to the award of management contract in the Liberia Maritime Program pending a full investigation of the facts and circumstances surrounding the contested email exchanges in the Knuckles-gate affair.

President Sirleaf, Do not halt any Maritime contract or any other contract. This is one of the main reasons the civil war in Liberia started because Liberians love to put gas in the fire and then when the fire starts, they run and we Liberians love to instigate and connive and lie on top. Identical news they had about this or that when Tubman was in power, Tolbert was in power, Doe was in power, Charles Taylor was in power, now they are starting their whoopla behind President Sirleaf who has risked her live and put it on the line to bring some sanity to Liberia. It is the same lies and propaganda they beat up and had Pres. Tolbert and those honorable cabinet ministers killed when they claimed that these people were eating government money and they were millionaires. When will Liberians stop all their lies and do something concrete with their lives? Liberians will imitate exactly what people do in the West claiming they have "freedom of speech” and they are democratic. Liberians want to practice these things but they forget to know that countries in the West are FULLY DEVELOPED AND MODERNIZED so they can afford to sit and complain because they have so much, they do not know what to do with it. If they had to dig wells and draw water and sleep by candles or lantern while the mosquitoes eat them up, they wouldn’ have time to complain. You can search for day, and you will never come across a dirt road in America, their country is #1, period, so they can afford to get into all this free-speech and democracy business. But not a little 3rd world country like Liberia who doesn't have a pot to piss in. All Liberians want to do is practice what people do in America but Liberia is not America. All day Liberians are disgruntled and looking for things to complain about instead of looking for ways to help re-build their country and help President Sirleaf improve the lives of ordinary Liberians. What a disgruntled and whinning people!!!!!!
