Is George Mulbah a rational being? If he is very serious about five billion U.S. dollars credit let he and the rest of his colleagues in both houses give up 75% of their ten U.S.thousands dollars monthly salaries and benefits than mortgaging the future of Liberia. Right now let it be known to Mr. Mulbah that Liberia is one of the best countries in the world with no debt,and collects enough revenues to develop and implement a realistic development without crediting. However, I do not blame him and his likes because these are a group of people who have no requisite experience and or education but because of marriage of convenient,peace, were elected in positions of trust.Instead of the novice being developmental oriented, they have chosen to exploit Liberia for their selfish gain. Yes, representative Mulbah, the Liberian people eyes are open, they see your big SUV trucks and the liquor clubs in and around Monrovia. These are the only development you government officials are used to with Charles Taylor.
