Snapshot of the Glowing Achievements of President George Manneh Weah in the first Year of his Presidency.

PLEASE share these achievements of the visionary President George M. Weah. All these were delivered in under 10 months, amid challenging fiscal and economic circumstances.
Let the world know criticism against this President are based on anger from a defeated and vanquished opposition that cannot let go feelings dejection from loss ; from betrayed expectation of a few yellow journalists who expected to be on the covert payroll of Government; and from disappointed and disaffected individuals who expected to have jobs in the new Weah Government; from still those who cannot stomach seeing GMW in the highest seat of the land, no matter what good he does!
All of these forces, combined and individual ly, are feckless and powerless to affect Liberia's.
As you enjoy your celebrations during this festive season, please reflect on these achievements, as we brace ourselves for the possibilities of the new year!
