The PPF was not extended as the President said.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The President had initially informed that body that the extension of his trip was on the basis of the extension of the PPF. \u201cThe President said that the forum was extended, but that was a lie that was only intended for him to stay in Qatar to watch football games,\u201d Dillon told the BBC\u2019s Focus on Africa program.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to leaving the country on November 1, 2022, the President wrote the senate informing its members that he would have attended the PPF from November 9-15, and from the 15-23 he would be at the FIFA World Cup as a guest of honor.<\/p>\n<p>However, a second communication emerged in which President Weah noted that the PPF was held from the 9th to the 18th of November \u2014 a three-day extension. \u201cThis has however turned out to be a lie,\u201d the Montserrado County Lawmaker said.<\/p>\n<p>Asked why make an issue out of a \u201cmere\u201d three days extension, Senator Dillon noted, \u201cIt is a big deal for me because the President lied to the nation, and this misleading information must be investigated.\u201d He said Liberians need to know at all times where their President is, especially [when he is] on a foreign trip.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the President says he is going to be at a particular place at a particular time on government\u2019s money and it is found out to be untrue, it warrants an investigation,\u201d he said. \u201cSo my communication is a formal notice providing reasons for which a probe to be launched so that the senate can take the appropriate corrective measures where necessary after the investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Liberia Maritime Authority Commissioner and presidential advisor, Lenn Eugene Nagbe, said the President did not mislead the country as Senator Dillon and others are making the ordinary Liberians to believe.<\/p>\n<p>He said because of the enormity of the problems that President Weah inherited upon his ascendency in 2017 and is solving, the CDC political leader is constrained to behave in a different way than a normal President would.<\/p>\n<p>Nagbe, who is also on the trip with the President and spoke to the BBC in reaction to Senator Dillon\u2019s claims, described lawmaker\u2019s quest for a probe into the President\u2019s extended trip as showboating and that he would do no such thing. \u201cBut if he does, it will result in nothing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On misleading the country on the issue of the PPF, he said it is untrue. \u201cThe President left Egypt on November 9, and arrived in France at midnight of the same day.\u201d \u201cAdding that the PPF started from the 11th but the President stayed in Paris up to the 18th of November. On The 15th, the President had several meetings after the forum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nagbe said the President\u2019s lengthy trip does not in any way violate the Constitution, and it has therefore created no constitutional crisis. On the significance of the historic lengthy trip, the President\u2019s supporters say the trip was meant to do business on behalf of the country. But Dillon differs, asking rather rhetorically: \u201cHow can watching for over 15 days FIFA football games, where his son is playing, bring back anything to the country?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In response, Commissioner Nagbe said the trip is in the interest of the Liberian people and is meant to garner support for some of the infrastructural developments that the government is undertaking, adding that the CDC political leader and his entourage have already garnered over US$175 million for projects in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe trip was also meant for the President to meet with other world leaders,\u201d Nagbe, who is also a former Minister of Information, noted.<\/p>\n<p>Dillon\u2019s quest for a legislative probe against the President comes at a time when the opposition community, led by the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP), is planning a mass citizens\u2019 rally to call the world\u2019s attention to what the CPP calls \u201cthe miserable living conditions of the Liberian people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many believe the rally, slated for December 17, just a day before President Weah\u2019s return to the country, will provide a hostile reception for the President.<\/p>\n<p><b>Who Paid for the President\u2019s Trip?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In addition to the integrity issues raised by the Montserrado County Senator, there is a financial component to his request to his colleagues for a probe into the President\u2019s trip. The trip, probably the longest by a sitting president in the modern history of Liberia, has garnered huge and intense discussions on street corners as well as on social and mainstream media.<\/p>\n<p>The duration of President Weah\u2019s stay out of Liberia, including a nine-day stop in Qatar to watch the FIFA 2022 World Cup, could cost the country not less than US$96,000 as his incidental allowance \u2014 more than what his government appropriated to some leading government hospital.<\/p>\n<p>According to Finance Minister Samuel Tweah, the President is entitled to US$2,000 Incidental Allowance for each day of stay abroad. The incidental allowance for the President\u2019s 48-day trip (Nov. 1 to Dec. 18) alone cost US$96,000 which excludes costs of accommodation and per diem for himself and his entourage.<\/p>\n<p>He is traveling with his wife, First Lady Clar Weah; and other senior cabinet officials, including the Commissioner Nagbe; Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dee-Maxwell Saah Kemayah, Sr.; the Minister of National Defense, Daniel Ziankahn.<\/p>\n<p>In as much as the President and his officials\u2019 incidental and other allowances are legitimate despite the length of the trip, there is a down to the financial burden that the trip brings to taxpayers\u2014and that is the extended period of their stay away.<\/p>\n<p>The government\u2019s Travel Ordinance says beyond seven days, any public official, including the President, will have to shoulder any financial liability accrue as a result of an extension to his or her trip.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis means you are responsible for your own per diem, hotel accommodations and incidentals, and other expenses as stipulated by law,\u201d Senator Dillon said.<\/p>\n<p>The same law also provides that if the official can prove with documentary evidence that the extension was in the interest of the country then a case for a refund can be made.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut as it is now, the President is yet to demonstrate to the Liberian people that his extended stay in Qatar to watch football games will bring any benefit to the country,\u201d Dillon said.<\/p>\n<p>He has not Taken a Cent<\/p>\n<p>The Commissioner told the BBC that \u201cMr. President does not take US$2,000 though he is entitled to that under the national travel ordinance.\u201d He indicated that there is a fiscal overturn report that is made every time the President travels. \u201cThough he is entitled to that amount every time he travels, he has not touched it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Maritime Commissioner disclosed that the entirety of the trip was not paid by taxpayers\u2019 money. \u201cFor example, the Mid-day Forum in Morocco was fully paid for by the organizers. They sent a plane that took the President from Liberia to the venue, and the same plane took the President to Egypt for the global climate change conference. So that saves the Liberian people some money,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>However, the President\u2019s lengthy trip has caused a huge uproar and anger among hundreds of Liberians with critics terming such a move as irresponsible, while others described the President as being insensitive considering the economic difficulties Liberians are enduring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmid all of these critical situations, the President thinks it is fair to embark on this long trip taking along over 40 of his officials \u2014 where they will spend hundreds of thousands of the Liberian people\u2019s money,\u201d Stanton A. Witherspoon, the lead panelist for Spoon Talk, a popular online TV talk-show, said a fortnight ago. \u201cThis is unfair to the Liberian people. Weah can\u2019t continue to treat the Liberian people, who love and have sacrificed so much for him, this way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>People are angry that much is yet to be done by the CDC administration to reduce or alleviate the excruciating hardship and unbearable suffering of the Liberian people; the national census is in disarray; there is a surge in the prices of rice, the nation\u2019s staple.<\/p>\n<p>All of these are happening at a time when the country, according to the President\u2019s critics, needs leadership that remains elusive while, in the words of some Liberians, the President is gallivanting.<\/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.
