WERE YOU NOT AWARE OF EDWIB SNOWE? AN OPEN LETTER TO MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE

Posted January 10, 2007/ Culled from Running Africa

I want to wish you and you constituents a Happy and Fruitful new year. The reason for my letter is to speak about the issue surrounding the discontent of some members of the House on the performance of the Speaker Edwin Snowe.

What did you expect when you elected him to this position? Did you think that he would amazingly change into an honorable gentleman who would be up to the task?

What were the credentials and qualifications that you had seen to convince you that he would be able to perform the duties and obligations inherent in the office of Speaker of the House of Representatives?

Were you not aware that he was blacklisted by the United Nations?

Were you blinded to the fact that he had amassed great wealth during the short period of time that he served as Managing Director of LPRC?

Were you not aware of the audit report that showed misuse of funds at LPRC during his tenure? Were you interested in choosing someone who could ably represent your august body or was it the promise of cash and other benefits that were allegedly offered to anyone who would elect him as Speaker?

Why at this time are you trying to impeach him? Haven’t you heard that you reap what you sow? Did you expect to drive a new limousine when you purchased a second hand jalopy?

By electing Hon Snowe as Speaker showed the Liberian people where your interests lie. It may be harder to impeach him than it was for you to elect him. I don’t think the people really care what you do anymore because they know that you only serve one interest: YOUR OWN.

May God continue to help Liberia as she crawls back into the civilized world.
