    Mr. Mulbah should be serious about this legislation, Because if Liberia is connected with asphalted roads, there will be free movement of commodities and people. Tourism will be on the increase, thereby creating revenue to government coffer. Ex.one could travel from Monrovia to Harper, Sapo national Park in few hours time than what it takes now to travel to these places, because of bad roads condition.

    This money will again go into the pockets of our corrupt government officials and incompetent leaders. What is the Public Works minister, Kofi woods, doing with our hard earned taxes? Go see the mansion he is building in Monrovia. Go see the Minister of defense fottress. Bunch of thieves.

    How many more indiots do we have in the legislature like this one. When you add up all of Liberia's budget over the last 15 years does it even come close to this amount. Do we have the resources to pay back this kind of money? Better still are we even making use of the little revenue we collect? He really does not know what it means to be a legislator.

    Mr.Mulbah, if the country cannot manage six hundred forty nine million how can she manage five billion. I believe as a concern Liberian that you are talking from your stomach not your brain. The 2012/2013 national budget was squander on lamakers, cabinet ministers and managing directors of public corporations/agencies. This is while the poor remains dirt poor your big dummies.

    It is quite incredible that George Mulbah and his likes can show their corrupt faces in public in Liberia. George is a "representative" from Jorquelleh District, a district that includes Gbarnga. He and his cliques have not been able to complete a Community college that is paid for with funds that are provided by companies operating in the county and allocation for the county in the National Budget. Please stop patronizing these guys. They are not good for news materials. They mean no good for Liberia and Liberians. They fight for pay increment for themselves and refuse to do the same for civil servants. Shame on our socalled legislators. They are bunch of corrupt individuals parked together to mislead Liberians. $5B for what? You and your girlfriends? You are not faithful in managing the little the country has, how can you be trusted with big thing?

    I support the idea of Hon. George S. Mulbah to borrow 5 billion to build roads. This is the time for Liberian Leaders to be Innovative in order to seeing the reality of the vision 2030. It should not be a policy document that will be kept and the Liberians will not have any explanation to make to anyone out there tomorrow. Lets us strategize to make Liberia a middle income county 2030. Lets us borrow money in good faith for our county Mama Liberia.
