Babysitting, honeymoon over for goverment – Sen. Dillon

Monrovia – Montserrado County Senator Darius Dillon has delivered a sharp critique of the Liberian government’s performance, calling for an immediate end to what he termed the “honeymoon and babysitting period” for the administration. Speaking with legislative reporters on Monday, the outspoken senator urged the government to shift focus toward effectively serving the Liberian people.

Senator Dillon underscored that leniency and complacency can no longer be tolerated, emphasizing that officials must be held accountable for their duties. “I will not sit here and allow people in major portfolios to act complacently. We gave the President ample time in the first year, but now it is time to work for the people,” he declared, signaling a call to action for a more results-driven approach to governance.

Addressing his legislative agenda, Dillon reiterated his advocacy for reducing lawmakers’ salaries, a move he believes is essential for addressing Liberia’s economic challenges. Reaffirming his commitment to the controversial $5,000 salary cap for legislators, Dillon expressed disappointment in the lack of support for the proposal from certain members of the media and colleagues within the opposition.

“I feel disappointed that folks in the media and my colleagues from the rescue mission are not placing enough emphasis on the bill. There is a need to reduce our salaries as lawmakers to reflect the current economic realities,” he stressed. Despite this, Dillon signaled his willingness to abandon the initiative if it fails to garner sufficient public backing, acknowledging the importance of collective action.

While critical of the administration, Dillon commended the Liberian Senate, assigning it an 80 percent performance grade. He, however, warned that the government as a whole must redouble its efforts to address pressing challenges and fulfill campaign promises.
