Cummings expressed concerns about the increasing cost of living, with skyrocketing prices, and the lack of job opportunities, compounded by government\u2019s harmonization salary policy, which cut more than half of the salaries of many government employees.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, President Weah\u2019s decision to reduce salaries, \u201cwhile the costs of food, transportation, rent, hospital bills, and school fees\u201d are skyrocketing is wickedness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs hard as people are trying, too many cannot find jobs and those who are lucky to be working can barely care for their families because their salaries have been harmonized,\u201d Cummings said. He said President Weah has miserably failed his promise of creating jobs and instead created chances for themselves to steal from the suffering masses.<\/p>\n<p>Cummings said drugs and crimes have overtaken the streets and communities, while many Liberians are being forced to beg for survival in a country richly blessed with abundant natural wealth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
