Speaker Koffa Critiques President Boakai's Budget: Calls for Adjustments to Military, Education, and Healthcare

Capitol Hill - House Speaker Fonati Koffa has expressed his concerns over the national budget submitted by President Joseph Boakai, stating that it falls short of supporting the President's campaign promises and agenda. Koffa emphasized the need for adjustments to the proposed budget, highlighting key areas such as military accommodations, the war on drugs, and investment in education and healthcare.

Koffa pointed out the absence of spending on military accommodations, a matter he deems critical given the President's focus on the living conditions of service members and their families. He stated that addressing these concerns is essential to supporting the armed forces and their sacrifices.

"The budget does not contain any spending for military accommodations," Koffa said. "When President Boakai took office, there was a crisis concerning the living conditions of the military, and it was one of the pillars of his campaign. It's important to include funding for military accommodations in this budget."

Additionally, Speaker Koffa addressed the allocation for the war on drugs, noting that the President's drug task force requires more funding to effectively tackle the crisis. He deemed the current $500,000 allocation as insufficient.

Koffa also emphasized the need for proper funding of teachers and healthcare workers, particularly in rural districts. He expressed concern that lawmakers currently bear the burden of paying for volunteer teachers and healthcare workers, a responsibility he believes should fall on the government.

"The government must invest in schools and healthcare by ensuring that volunteer teachers and healthcare workers receive proper funding and support," Koffa stressed. "It is unfair to expect lawmakers to shoulder these responsibilities."

Speaker Koffa concluded by expressing his hope that the committee hearings on the budget would bring clarity and proper funding to the necessary areas. As adjustments are made, he aims to ensure that the budget aligns more closely with the President's original agenda and priorities.
