Acting President Pro-tempore of the Liberian Senate, Senator Lahai Lasanah has been explaining report surrounding the allocation of US$178,000 for the use of his office.

Liberia is indeed doom corruption and people that are in the first branch of government don't really care about the innocent masses. What so much Lahai Lasanah is doing that and his buddies are allocating USD 178,000 when infact the ordinary people are suffering. I am astnoish to know that that up to USD 400,000 plus is even been set aside for the that office. People in the legislature need to start requesting ear marks that will go direct to their development of the counties or districts they represent.
These guys don't know the role of been in the house of senate or representatives. I hope the Liberian people don't elect those fools again.
one question for this Senator, you are on Agriculture break until January 2009 and not in cession now,so how will you use $178.000.00.do you make Speaches around the country or using you Temp. position to travel around the world.for $178.000.00,for what? those so-call Senators that signed this FOR you, what was their CUT? we are watching you people. you said, something about rent, did you really mean that they wanted to pay for your rent while you are acting for few months?.I guess the Liberian Senate is a money make INSTITUTION. we are watching YOU
For God sake, you mean a controverssial person like Lahai Lasanah would allow he and his clonies to use US$178000.00 for his office in this short period of time when the basic needs of Liberians are seriously lacking? What kind of people were selected, not elected, to head the Liberia's soceity? Moreover, it is very dishearteding to learn that the office of the pro-tempore of the Liberia senate is allocated over US$400,000.00 per year. What a waste of needed financial resources. Do the Liberian people know how many lives could be saved with such a fund? Wouldn't such funds be used to build needed clinics and provide basic medical needs of many of the citizenry who are in dire need? Let these so-called senator ask them- selves, could any of them honestly earn such a hugh sum of money in ten year's period? Can't these so- called people know that they were selected not on merit but marriage of convenience- for the sake of peace?
Throughly now is the time for the Liberian people to come together and have a national referemdum to set a time table for the tenure of service for these leeches. It is sad that people who could not earn even $US10,000 a year are burden to society than problem solver.
