Liberian President Joseph Nyuma Boakai has presented the draft Fiscal Year 2025 National Budget to the Legislature, totaling $851.8 million. This budget prioritizes key areas such as education, healthcare, infrastructure, and national security, aligning with the administration’s development goals.
However, the submission coincides with an ongoing leadership crisis in the House of Representatives. The stalemate, driven by disagreements between rival blocs, has raised concerns about the timely deliberation and approval of the budget.
Observers are closely watching how this political gridlock will affect the legislative process, as both the pro-Koffa and anti-Koffa factions remain entrenched in their positions.
