The reappointment of Mary Broh as Monrovia city mayor by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has been rejected by the Senate, which concurred with the House of Representatives that earlier declared the former mayor "non-governmental material".
The Plenary of the Liberian Senate Thursday finally passed a vote of no confidence in former Acting Monrovia City Mayor Mary Broh who was re-nominated by President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf to return to her post, months after she was booted out.
When are we ever going to dismantle this patronage system that patronage
system that gives enormous power to the president and not to the people. I
knew EJS was going to do something foolish after that for show firings.
This why our system of selecting majors of cities is wrong. The Major of
each city should be elected by the residence of the City and not be subject
to the approval of the senate nor appointed by the president.
Nonsense! what do you actually mean about the phrase" non government
material" You hypocrites, first take the logs out of your own eyes and then
you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. The
present war against our progress now is ignorant, disease and poverty.
Monrovia the capital city of Mama Liberia is very filthy; We need proper
sanitations to crush the disease in our environment. Corruption is very
rampant in the three braches of government and at the market places, these
are some of the ills that the plenary of the senate and house should
deliberating on, instead of telling one that they are not governmental
material. In fact, what makes one governmental material.
Liberian politics: Too much power in the hands of a few, and it feeds into
this whole patronage system that's choking off progress in Liberia. So
they'd rather have a filty city instead of having the former city major
return to serve her country. When will the country have politicians who
really have the country at heart?
President Ellen Johnson- Sirleaf has reappointed Madam Mary T. Broh as Monrovia City Mayor, pending confirmation by the Liberian Senate when applicable. Madam Broh is widely referred to as "General" Broh because of her fearless stance in carrying out any task given her by President Johnson-Sirleaf.
Mary Broh coming back to The MCC is Like satan coming back to Heaven. yes
she help clean up the city bt that is her job n she get paid for it so no
need to thank her extra for that. she disrespected everyone including the
President, the upper n lower house n many poor n inocent citizens. satan
used to sing in heaven n please God but the moment he disobey God he was
out forever
This is a classic case of re-cycling resources. Re-cycled Madam Broah
-"General" Broh = the President's “emergency Sanitary Landfill
manager”. Will this be the norm for those questionable corrupt officials
that were recently shown the doors?
In the case of the City mayor's position, elections should be considered in
lieu of appointments.
Quoting Felix Houphouet-Boigny will do it: "Why change a winning team?"
Mary Broh is a winner and she has a winning team for the job. Let's put the
usual Liberian senseless arguments aside,the nature of the job of a mayor
calls for the position to be occupied by a servant of the people, and that
is it. Mary Broh stays in the streets with her workers as the job demands,
especially in Monrovia which is going through reconstruction. How many
Liberian "Big Men" or "Big Women" are willing to do that? For all practical
purposes, I don't see anyone more qualified the madame Broh. Bravo! Ellen,
You deserve praise, and thank you for not "working for CIA," A Liberian
Idiom.
