Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The President Pro-Tempore of the Liberian Senate has blasted U.S. Ambassador to Liberia, Mr. Michael A. McCarthy, saying Liberians do not tell Americans who to vote for.<\/p>\n

In his attempt to react to Amb. McCarthy\u2019s report about how the elite in Monrovia treats destitute citizens with neglect, Chie claimed that it has been alleged that the Ambassador is an opposition supporter.<\/p>\n

The Grand Kru County Senator argued that Liberians don\u2019t get up and tell Americans to vote for Trump or Biden, so Ambassador McCarty has no right to tell Liberians who to vote for.<\/p>\n

It remains unclear where and when Mr. Chie heard Amb. McCarthy telling Liberians who to vote for.<\/p>\n

However, Mr. McCarthy released a report last week and said the elite in Monrovia are treating destitute citizens in the leeward counties \u2018with a neglect that borders on contempt.\u2019<\/p>\n

The U.S. Envoy said in a press statement that while hospitals went without, and service centers withered on the vine, Liberia\u2019s 30 senators and 73 representatives spent sixty-five million U.S. dollars feathering their nests.<\/p>\n

It seems Mr. Chie is not happy about this report but did not state where the U.S. diplomat told Liberians who to vote for.<\/p>\n

Notwithstanding, Chie explained that during Amb. McCarthy\u2019s visit to Grand Kru County, Superintendent Doris Ylatun didn\u2019t snub him.<\/p>\n

Instead, Chie said the superintendent wasn\u2019t available during the visit. He alleged that it was the Ambassador who snubbed the Superintendent because he allegedly entered the County \u2018nicodemously.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been alleged that the Ambassador is an opposition supporter. How can you come to a County without informing the Superintendent?\u201d Chie alleged further.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only message the Superintendent got was that a group from the Embassy was coming to Grand Kru, and wanted to use Senator Bartekwa\u2019s Guest House,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

He noted that there was no letter from the Ministry of Internal Affairs as customary that the Ambassador was going to the County.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you know how many times our President goes to America without seeing Biden? Can you say Biden snubbed President Weah?\u201d Chie continued.<\/p>\n

He suggested that there is protocol in government. According to him, if the Ambassador wanted the Superintendent to be present, he should have communicated.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut he did it intentionally. He didn\u2019t want the Superintendent to be present because he came to our County to pick up falsehood,\u201d Chief alleged.<\/p>\n

He wondered how the Ambassador could say the Legislature appropriated US$65 Million for itself in the 2022 National budget.<\/p>\n

He added that if the Ambassador wanted the correct information, he would have visited projects of Senators and Representatives throughout the Country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is just one example, a folder in my hand with many requests from our people. What do we do with our monies we get? We spend it on our people, we build clinics, we buy drugs for those clinics and hospitals, we build schools and pay teachers, we build Guest houses, bridges, among others,\u201d said Chie.<\/p>\n

\u201cHave you ever seen a wealthy Legislator in Liberia who has retired? Absolutely no! But he goes on spreading falsehood because this is an election year so that the opposition can be strengthened. But he lied!\u201d<\/p>\n

Chie questioned how the U.S. Envoy could allegedly be spreading falsehood about the government?<\/p>\n

He claimed that this is why Washington has recalled Mr. McCarthy.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause he is interfering with our politics, he is a foreigner and he must confine himself to his position,\u201d noted Chie.<\/p>\n
