Journalists Describe Meeting With President Boakai as “Waste of Time and Energy”
Several journalists who attended a recent meeting with President Joseph Nyuma Boakai Sr at his Rehab resident ahead of the Christmas celebrations have reportedly expressed disappointment over the outcome of the engagement.
Sources close to the Executive Mansion-Liberia disclosed that journalists left the meeting dissatisfied after receiving US$100 each as a Christmas token from the President. According to the sources, some journalists rejected the money, describing it as an “insult” considering the length and expectations surrounding the meeting.
The sources further revealed that prior to the engagement, the Presidential Press Secretary Kula V. Fofana informed journalists that the President intended to “put smiles on their faces” ahead of the festive season.
However, expectations reportedly fell short after the meeting, which lasted approximately three hours.
Several journalists reportedly described the engagement as a “waste of time and energy,” citing the long duration of the meeting and the outcome.
Despite the dissatisfaction, journalists at the meeting reaffirmed their commitment to professional journalism, assuring the Executive Mansion of their dedication to balanced, factual, and ethical reporting on the activities of the presidency.
Efforts to obtain an official response from the Executive Mansion regarding the concerns raised by the journalists were unsuccessful at the time of this report.
