Correspondent, Sinoe County
MONROVIA – Deputy Information Minister for Press and Public Affairs, Daniel Sando, has launched a scathing response to remarks made by Sinoe County Senator Crayton Duncan against President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, describing the lawmaker’s statements as “complete madness” and evidence that “something is fundamentally wrong with him.”
Speaking at a Ministry of Information press briefing, Minister Sando dismissed Senator Duncan’s assertions that President Boakai is “too old” and has “failed the country.” According to Sando, such comments not only lack merit but expose the Senator’s own inconsistency and poor record in leadership.
“How can Senator Duncan say this government has failed when President Boakai has delivered more for Sinoe County in less than two years than Duncan has done since his election?” Sando questioned. “Under this administration, roads leading to Sinoe are paved and accessible even during the rainy season. This is a milestone Senator Duncan himself failed to achieve despite being a sitting lawmaker.”
Minister Sando emphasized that Duncan’s criticisms are politically motivated and do not reflect the realities on the ground. He described Duncan as a “spineless and unprincipled so-called young leader” who has repeatedly shifted his political positions for convenience.
The Deputy Minister noted that Duncan once praised President Boakai during the 2023 election campaign, hailing him as a statesman with the vision to restore Liberia. “Now, less than two years later, the same Senator is calling the President too old and a failure. This is not leadership; this is inconsistency driven by desperation,” Sando said.
Highlighting Duncan’s track record, Minister Sando reminded the public that the Senator has failed to bring tangible development to Sinoe County, despite enjoying the benefits and influence of national office. He cited Duncan’s inability to secure meaningful infrastructure projects or improve the county’s social services, contrasting it with President Boakai’s visible efforts.
“Senator Duncan has no moral authority to lecture anyone on governance,” Sando continued. “If he had been properly raised with respect and discipline, he would not reduce national leadership to childish insults against the President of the Republic.”
The Ministry of Information reaffirmed that the Boakai-led government remains focused on delivering for the Liberian people, undeterred by what Sando described as “cheap distractions from unprincipled politicians.”
“President Boakai is working. The results are there for all to see. No amount of falsehood or political mischief will derail this administration’s agenda for progress,” Sando concluded.
