As the most talk about Yellow Machines controversy continues, this is Senator Amara Konneh's response to President Boakai's letter:

I wish to express my sincere appreciation to President Boakai for the communication the Senate received from him today concerning the "yellow machines." We want to assure the President that his transparent and open communication is greatly valued.

Nevertheless, his letter gives us more to reflect on. We must thoroughly examine the content of the President's letter, which emphasizes the need for careful and thoughtful engagement with our friends and private individuals on matters of national importance to prevent conflicts of interest and unnecessary noise. The letter also urges us to carefully consider the reasoning behind the possession of the machines at the Freeport of Monrovia by the government, led by a Cabinet Minister in the President’s office, while negotiations are underway and the decision to store them at our national security facility even though they are privately owned. Furthermore, it is crucial to address whether it is appropriate for the President to enter into informal agreements with a close associate on behalf of the nation.

Who is the "friend," and what exactly is his relationship to the president? Understanding this is important for transparency, good governance, and the President’s anti-corruption agenda.

Depending on how he handles the transactions, these yellow machines could define President Boakai’s legacy. His advisors don't seem to be helping him.

We had a productive day at the Senate on other matters. Will update you tomorrow.

"There Is No Contract Or Agreement At His Moment That Equires Legislative Ratification" President Boakai, As He Writes The National Legislature to Inform Them About The Acquisition Process of the Yellow Machines

Full Letter Below:

THE PRESIDENT
JNB/MOs/RL/1346/2024
July 9. 2024
Honorable Jonathan Fonati Koffa
Speaker
House of Representatives
Monrovia, Liberia

Dear Hon. Speaker:
REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA

Subject: Acquisition Process of the Yellow Machines

I refer to the acquisition of earth-moving equipment, commonly referred to here as "Yellow Machines. Some members of the Legislature have raised queries about the process and acquisition of the equipment.
Let me first and foremost assure you and members of the Legislature that we are
scrupulously pursuing the acquisition process for these machines guided by the principles of transparency and good faith. The initiative originated from a conversation between me and a long-time friend who shares a commitment to the ARREST Agenda.

This friend was moved by the spirit of solidarity and a strong desire to participate in the implementation, in the shortest possible time, of our development agenda. He offered to provide equipment in good faith and on a
gentleman's agreement.

Please note the following:

The disbelief of many members of the Legislature and some in the public may be
understandable, considering. nothing on this massive scale has been done before based on trust and confidence in the leadership of the country and certainly not in the last six years.

1. Negotiation Phase: We are currently in the negotiation phase. No formal agreement or contract has been signed with any party. The discussions are ongoing, and no financial commitment has been made by the Government of Liberia and not a dime paid,

2. No Public Funds Utilized: To date. no funds from the Liberian treasury have been expended on this project. The first batch of equipment that arived in the country was shipped at the supplier's expense.

3. The GOL has not incurred any costs related to the transportation or acquisition of these
machines.

4. Contingency for Unsuccesstul Negotiations:
Should the negotiations fail to yield a mutually beneficial agreement: the supplier retains the right to reclaim the equipment. He may choose to sell them within the Liberian market or re-export them. This ensures that the GOL is nof financially burdened or contractualy bound.
5. Legislative Involvement: We recognize and respect the role of the National Legislature in ratification process. Once the negotiations are concluded and a formal agreement is being reached, we will promptly submit the necessary documents to the Legislature for consideration/ratification. At that point, we welcome any request for clarifications or discussions to ensure the process remains transparent and accountable.

6. Maintenance Zones will be established in each county. Each county will receive requisite numbers of machines for road construction and maintenance. This setup willguarantee the accelerated opening up of the entire country for speedy development.

In summary, there is no contract or agreement at his moment that equires legislative ratification. We are committed to maintaining open lines of communication with the Legislature throughout this process. Once we have a formal agreement and CiF value, we will engage the National Legislature consistent with our laws.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work towards enhancing our nation's infrastructural development.

Sincerely.
Joseph Nyuma Boakai Sr.

Gbarpolu County Senator Amara Konneh writes!

The resignation of the Finance Minister on the heels of the 26th economic season raises concerns about its potential impact on fiscal policy and the economy. The slow disbursements reported in the 2024 First Quarter Budget Ex*****on Report, despite substantial revenue collection, could have a contractionary effect on the economy and the government's capacity to provide essential services. Despite significant revenue collection, the slow disbursements reported in the 2024 First Quarter Budget Ex*****on Report could negatively affect the economy and the government's ability to provide essential services. While it's possible that the low spending by MFDP was due to the slow formation of the Government, it would be advantageous to swiftly announce the appointment of a successor to mitigate any potential disruptions. This is especially crucial as we approach the anticipated heightened economic activities around July 26th (Independence Day Economy).

I am sending positive thoughts & prayers to BSK and his family, and I thank him for his service to the country. May God heal him.

Pres. Joseph Boakai Appointed Chief Negotiator To Reunite Sahel Alliance

Amidst heighten lobby and speculation early Sunday morning in Abuja ahead of the commencement of the 65th Extra Ordinary Session of heads of States of ECOWAS of a Joseph Boakai imminent chairmanship, President Bola Tinubu has been re-elected as the chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), about one year after he took over the leadership of the regional bloc.

The reelection marks his second term. Tinubu was first elected to the position in Guinea-Bissau on July 9, 2023.

President Tinubu immediately upon reelection, Chairman Bola Tinubu appointed Liberia’s President Joseph N. Boakai to as chief negotiator to reunite Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, who are now organized themselves as the ‘Sahel Alliance’.

Ahead of his appointment, rumor spread like wildfire in Abuja about President Boakai’s intend to throw his hat in the race for chairman of the regional bloc ECOWAS.

On the heels of the opening of the 65th Ordinary Session of ECOWAS, leaders of the military juntas of the three-member Alliance of Sahel States met in Niamey over the weekend on tackling security threats posed by insurgents.

The military leader of Niger General Abdourahmane Tiani is hosting his counterparts of the same background from Burkina Faso and Mali for the first summit of the Sahel troika.

The three countries say they had formed this alliance known by its French acronym AES as a reaction to the existential threat posed by insurgencies and isolation from the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas).

The AES is thus being born in the full light of history.

The three had announced earlier this year their decision to quit the regional bloc after it passed sanctions and threatened an invasion in reaction to the coups which brought the juntas in power in the three countries between 2020 and 2023.

Burkinabè military leader, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, arrived in Niamey on Friday afternoon to a warm welcome, while his Malian counterpart flew to the Nigerien capital on Saturday morning.

The Alliance of Sahel States (AES) was founded by Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger to address political crises and growing security threats from jihadists. These countries left the G5 Sahel and decided to take a new direction in the management of their security challenges, marking a desire to break away from French influence.

The creation of the AES also comes against the backdrop of simmering tensions with Ecowas. After the coup in Niger in July 2023, the regional bloc threatened to intervene militarily, prompting Mali and Burkina Faso to declare that such an intervention would be seen as a declaration of war on the three neighbours ruled by military juntas.

In response, the three countries left the community institution in January 2024. The AES aims to strengthen regional security by pooling military efforts and sharing intelligence to fight terrorism and crime.

It also aims to promote socio-economic development through cooperation on infrastructure, education and health projects, thus improving the living conditions of local populations. The alliance also seeks to harmonize policies and promote common democratic values ​​to strengthen political stability in the region.

The withdrawal of the three countries from Ecowas and the creation of the AES mark a significant break with their previous policies, often influenced by France.

Relations with their former colonial power deteriorated after demands for the withdrawal of French troops and the end of MINUSMA in Mali.

At the same time, the three countries have approached Moscow for alternative military and strategic support.

In January 2024, Russia agreed to establish military cooperation with Niger, and Russian military personnel were deployed to Burkina Faso.

In May 2024, the AES Foreign Ministers finalized in Niamey a text governing the institutionalization and operationalization of the AES Confederation.

However, the AES faces economic and social challenges. Mali, for example, has an extreme poverty rate of 19.1% and relies heavily on agriculture and gold exports.

Burkina Faso faces severe food insecurity and a high poverty rate. Niger, despite projected economic growth of 11.2% for 2024, must overcome the consequences of the coup and manage high military spending.

The Nigerian leader who rose to power in May 2023 was re-elected as the ECOWAS chairman during the 65th Ordinary Session of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government. That event took place at the Presidential Villa in Nigeria’s Abuja capital on Sunday.

In his acceptance speech, President Tinubu said he would focus on consolidating the values of democracy and upholding the interest of the regional body.

“I have appointed the President of Senegal, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, to please become our Special Envoy to Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger Republic, along with the President of Togo, Faure Gnassingbé, to do around the clock work with our brothers in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger Republic, and to coordinate with me and the ECOWAS Commission, where necessary,” he said according to a statement by his spokesman Ajuri Ngelale.

“I have accepted to continue the service to the great members and the great minds that are committed to democratic values and our journey in the region. I will continue to serve our interests and build on democratic values and the structure that we inherited. Thank you very much.”

During his opening remark at the summit, President Tinubu urged ECOWAS member states to make financial commitments to help in the battle against terrorism in the region.

Controversial Eugene Fahngon Again! Tension Blows At LBS

Several sources at the Liberia Broadcasting System (LBS), say there’s an imminent strike been planned by aggrieved workers at the entity.

According to the report information serval employees of the LBS Workers Union are contemplating the strike find a solution to an alleged constant threat against them including recent arbitrary dismissal of the system’s woodwork staff identified as Clinton.

Ahead of the general meeting scheduled for this Friday, July 5, according to sources, the Leadership has already met on several planned action against LBS Director General Eugene Fahgon.

Our network understand that two unnamed senior officials of the LBS are opposed to Fahngon’s decision to dismissed Clinton including other administrative lapses.

The workers are alleging that Mr. Eugene Fahngon changed the vehicle, picking and dropping staff policy which has prompted displeasure among employees at the LBS.

The new measure among other things states that ‘No vehicle is allowed to leave LBS Compound after 9 P.M.’, which has affected grossly the operations of the newsroom staff that package the late evening news, including the live TV and radio shows after 9P.M.

Furthermore, the workers are also requesting the Management to recruit the Director of New Media from within as it did with the directors of Public Affairs and Television.

The management has placed an announcement on the radio advertising the Director of New Media. President Boakai recently appointed the then Director as Assistant Minister for Tourism at MICAT.

Since April 2024, the LBS substations in the leeward counties have been off due to what the management described as a technical problem.

The money for fuel and lubricants for the seven (7) stations has not been released by the Ministry of Finance because the LBS Management has not submitted the name of the vendor that will supply the fuel.

However, sources closed to Director- General Eugene Fahngon said that the new measure put in place by their Boss is intended to safeguard misused of the system logistics, including vehicle.

Another source told our reporter that upon takeover of the Fahngon leadership at LBS, the System vehicles including Bus which convey employees to and from work were all down and parked.

“I do not understand this country and why our people make politics out of everything. When Fahngon came, all the vehicles they met on ground were all grounded and parked. At the moment we have majority of those vehicles up and running, including the Bus. There has to be some system in place to regulate the use and assignment of those logistics and this is what DG Fahngon is doing.” The source intoned.

It is not clear whether the Workers will consider approaching the Board of Directors on the issues arising from Mr Eugene Fahngon’s alleged authoritarian attitude.

This week, in a heated confrontation at the Free Port of Monrovia, Eugene Fahngon, the Director General of the Liberia Broadcasting System (LBS) and a highly controversial figure in the Boakai administration, reportedly slapped Charles Roberts, the Chief of Security at the National Port Authority (NPA). The incident occurred on Monday, July 1, 2024, when Roberts confronted Fahngon for using a drone without proper authorization.

According to reports, Fahngon arrived at the Free Port claiming he had been invited by the Managing Director of the Port, Sekou Dukuly. Without prior notice or permission, Fahngon began flying a drone within the port premises. Roberts, fulfilling his duty, approached Fahngon and informed him of the port’s regulations, stating, “Fahngon, you can’t fly a drone here without permission from the management. Even if you have permission, the security should be informed.”

This confrontation allegedly incited Fahngon’s anger. He retorted with, “Do you know who I am? Who are you to stop me?” Despite Roberts’ attempts to explain the rules, Fahngon reportedly slapped Roberts in the ear. The situation escalated until other security personnel intervened, calming Roberts and advising him to file an official complaint with the Managing Director or the police.

The incident quickly went viral on social media, sparking widespread debate. Fahngon, known for his combative nature, has not issued a public statement regarding the alleged incident. Meanwhile, sources indicate that internal mediation efforts are underway to resolve the conflict.

This incident highlights ongoing tensions within the administration and raises questions about adherence to protocol and respect for authority within government institutions.

The Liberian Senate, led by President Pro Tempore Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence, is taking decisive action to address the severe flooding caused by heavy rains. On Thursday, July 4, 2024, after extensive debate, the Senate mandated all relevant government institutions to present a comprehensive plan to resolve the flooding crisis across the country.

This decision follows a detailed report from the Senate’s Public Works Committee, which investigated the persistent flooding issues. Key recommendations include demolishing buildings obstructing waterways and discussing the establishment of a new capital city, an idea initially proposed by former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. Senators believe Monrovia's congestion worsens drainage problems, exacerbating the flooding.

The Senate has pledged to support the National Disaster Management Agency and encouraged them to identify effective relief programs, especially with an increased budget for fiscal year 2024, now over $800,000. While immediate measures are being implemented to address flooding in Monrovia and other regions, the proposal for a new capital city remains under active discussion. Pro Tempore Karnga-Lawrence has tasked the Senate’s Modernization Committee with leading these discussions.

Gov’t Announces New Petroleum Price Reduction

The Ministry of Commerce & Industry, in collaboration with the Management of the Liberia Petroleum Refining Company (LPRC), has announced reductions in the prices of petroleum products.

Gasoline (PMS) prices have decreased by ten United States cents (US$0.10), and fuel oil (AGO) prices have similarly dropped by ten United States cents (US$0.10).

According to a price circular jointly signed by the Minister of Commerce & Industry and the Managing Director of the LPRC, the new wholesale prices for gasoline and diesel are US$3.90 and US$4.43 respectively. The retail pump prices are US$4.18 (or LRD 810.00) for gasoline and US$4.71 (or LRD 910.00) for diesel.

These adjustments reflect a reduction of ten United States cents (US$0.10) per gallon for both gasoline and diesel fuel.

The MoCI and LPRC Inspectorate Team will closely monitor compliance with these approved prices to prevent arbitrary increases in the pump prices of gasoline and diesel on the local market.
