Opposition leaders in Liberia are pushing back against President Joseph Boakai’s recent State of the Nation Address, raising concerns about what they describe as a lack of real economic progress and transparency.

They are questioning the administration’s claims on investment growth, job creation, budget allocations, and fiscal discipline, arguing that the realities on the ground do not reflect the picture presented in the address.

Critics also expressed doubts over the government’s anti-corruption commitments, calling for clearer accountability mechanisms and stronger oversight of public spending.

The reactions have intensified public debate, placing renewed pressure on the administration to demonstrate tangible economic improvements and greater transparency in governance.
