Liberia: Disgusted Over Pro-Poor Wasteful Executive Mansion Project Liberia: Disgusted Over Pro-Poor Wasteful Executive Mansion Project The Editor, Call it “The Executive Mansion Pro-Poor Wasteful Renovation Project” that has now cost nearly $40 million since the days of former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf from a minor fire incident that occured 15 years ago on our Indepedence Day, July 26, 2006. Liberia will be 174 years old this July and yet we can’t firgure out how to renovate the official home and office of the President of Liberia. If this is not incompetence and corruption, then give it a new name: from a self-anoited Harvard University “Economist” President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to now a footballer-turned politician President George Manneh Weah.
