The news<\/a> that President Joseph Boakai suspended all government officials who did not declare their assets has been met with mixed reactions.

According to Madam Wolokollie, Boakai is doing the right thing by suspending non-compliant government officials. She said the President did what his predecessor, former  George Weah, did not. She also claimed that Weah was too lenient  during his administration, saying, \u201che never fired anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She made the claim from 2:32:53 to 1:33:03<\/a> on an afternoon radio show on OK FM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DUBAWA verified Madam Wolokolie\u2019s claim due to its potential to mislead and misinform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
