I may not know much about the Modus operandi of the Liberian Senate, but one thing I am certain about is that an elected senator will have to engage the floor and clearly articulate his views and make the case for his people sometimes through heated debates. In these times, we have seen that those senators or representatives who are not up to the task of eloquently proffering their views are mostly refer to as bobo lawmakers and certainly dont make any impact in the legislature. In most instances, their constituents are lagging behind in the little development package the others get. The Montserrado senatorial race is the most intriguing and unarguably the most hotly contested race of all the counties given the size of the population. On several occasions Ive heard other senatorial candidates including Ben Sanvee, Robert Sirleaf and Celia Browne on the radio clearly stating their visions and convincing the people of Montserrado on why they should be elected senator. Ive also heard all of these candidates requesting a round table debate with the other candidates. Sadly, the Devry Universitys renown Master Degree holder in Business Administration, George Weah, has on every occasion run away, to put it literally, from the challenge. My question to you CDCians is, if this Devry Scholar cant debate the issues with his colleagues, if he cant tell the people of Montserrado why he should be their senator other than having country at heart, how is he ever going to say a word on the senate floor should he be elected? My guess is that hes probably going to be one of the bobo senators for the next 9 years.
