In school, the seniors always had certain privileges over those their junior. Every junior thought that these privileges were unfair. They thought so until they themselves became seniors.
This seems to be the case in our "honorable" legislature. Instead of starting afresh and changing the ropes to fit our society of 2011, many elected officials tend to resort to looking in the mirror and trying to imitate what once was.
Now that their time of reconning is coming, beware of them. When the dust settles after the election in October, how many lawbreakers, eh sorry, lawmakers will turn over their dearbought computers, cars and other government properties to their sucessors. How many of them have managed to build mansions and how many will have unfinished mansions.
Please, I beg of you, please leave at least the furniture in your offices so that we Liberians can stand proud and say look, at least these ones did not steal their furniture.

Thanks for the observation, your point is well taken. The way I see it, the problem of the band of thieves called law makers taking away properties that has been bought with our tax dollars is only happening because the government approves of it. Its not enough for the government to say that corruption is a systemic problem, they have to do something about it, something cocrete like havind a code of conduct for public officials but something tells me that president Sirleaf won't push for this because she and her dishonest children will get caught up in it. The same reason she trashed the TRC decuments. Man left to his own device is a very dangerous animal. That's why we make laws to keep him in check, not to forget that we have to carryout these laws if we are serious about stopping these thieves in their tracks. Liberia now is like a dent of lions. Watch a group of lions feed in a cage, you will see the image of the cuurent liberian government. The braver you are the larger the share of the meat you will have. The zoo keeper does not chastise the few lions that take away the larger portions because to him, thats just the natural order of things. Emphasis on ZOO KEEPER! Thanks for listening
