This followed Mr Boakai’s public declaration of assets last month.

President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, on Saturday, voluntarily slashed his salary by 40 per cent.

Mr Boakai, who was quoted in a statement published on Liberia’s government website on Saturday, said this move was “aimed at setting a precedent for responsible governance and nation-building.”

In fulfilment of his commitment to fiscal integrity and national financial security, President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr. has announced a voluntary 40 per cent reduction in his salary,” the statement added.

According to Mr Boakai, the announcement reflects his determination to lead by example in strengthening government accountability and demonstrating solidarity with the people of the nation.

This followed Mr Boakai’s public declaration of assets last month.

The Liberian leader said his action is in fulfilment of his commitment to upholding the constitution and laws of Liberia, in addition to his dedication to fostering a culture of accountability, integrity, and good governance.

We don't want our president to slash his salary. It is the allowances that should be slashed. Salary is very small compared to the allowances

Salary is just a piece of cake where the real stealing is.
You can slash 1m salary to 600k and yet steal 10billion by allocating contracts to your self or cronies. Who are you deceiving

What’s the essence of building a nation that’s only moving backwards, african leaders are totally clueless

Let him prepare to slash it again by 90% in the future to show what a good leader he is, he’ll keep slashing it until there’s nothing to slash


Instead of trying to move forward and shun corruption looting they keep trying to adapt to worst situations with their corruption/looting enabling environment

Tinubu people ran away from thread...

If it were to be that inflation rises to 46% in the UK or that food prices rose to 54% in the US they will come and explain how inflation is a global affair. They wont see this one to emulate... bumkums

But how can Buhari be better than anyone as a President? A Deloitte accountant, a first class graduate, the so called Lagos magician

cos you are too foolish to understand that African leaders salaries can’t match with their humongous allowances.only idiots applaud a senator in Nigeria for announcing donation of his salary to charity and keeping his bogus allowances to himself…always think before you comment cos the more you try to make sense the more stupid you sound sometimes
Like celebrating a senator that donates 40% of his salary that is less than a million while he collects over 30m as allowances…very myopic person,your type still get mind to dey call some people zombie.
Small tag when them tag una now,una go dey shout tribalism
