By Lincoln G. PetersMonrovia, January 29, 2026: The plenary of the Liberian Senate was thrown into a heated debate following a communication from Bomi County Senator Edwin Melvin Snowe, who called for a comprehensive and full disclosure regarding President Joseph N. Boakai’s claim of 70,000 jobs created, as announced during his third State of the Nation Address on Monday, January 26, 2026. The controversy erupted on Thursday, January 29, 2026, after senators sparred over the accuracy of the executive’s job numbers. Some senators supported Senator Snowe’s request to summon the Minister of Labor, Cllr. Cooper W. Kruah, to provide a detailed list of the jobs, while others argued that the Senate leadership should instead engage the President directly.
