Simeon Freeman Criticizes President Boakai's 2024 Budget as "Scary" and Focused on Government Officials

March 23, 2024

Defeated Presidential Candidate and MPC Political Leader, Simeon Freeman, has raised concerns over the draft 2024 national budget presented by President Boakai, terming it as "scary" and emphasizing that a majority of the allocated funds are directed towards recurrent expenditures, leaving ordinary Liberians neglected.

Mr. Freeman highlighted that out of the FY2024 Draft National Budget totaling US$692.41 million, a staggering 92.5 percent is earmarked for government officials' salaries and debt servicing, indicating a disproportionate allocation of resources towards government bureaucracy rather than the welfare of the people.

Expressing disappointment in the budget's lack of focus on the "Rescue Mission" for ordinary citizens, Freeman criticized President Boakai's administration for prioritizing the expansion of government positions and bureaucracy, leading to an increase in recurrent expenditures at the expense of critical public services and infrastructure development.

Freeman underscored the need for President Boakai to shift the government's priorities towards addressing pressing issues such as improving electricity availability by settling debts owed to the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC) to ensure a stable power supply for all citizens. He emphasized that investing in essential services like electricity would have a more direct and positive impact on the livelihoods of ordinary Liberians.

In his critique, Freeman pointed out that the "Rescue Mission" touted by President Boakai appears to have primarily benefited the President himself, rather than addressing the needs and concerns of the Liberian people. He called for a reevaluation of budgetary priorities to align with the interests and well-being of the populace, advocating for a more equitable distribution of resources that genuinely uplifts the livelihoods of all citizens.

As discussions around the 2024 national budget intensifies, Simeon Freeman's critique serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of fiscal responsibility, transparency, and accountability in government spending, urging for a budget that prioritizes the needs and aspirations of ordinary Liberians over bureaucratic interests.
