Liberian president's salary cut exerts pressure on Kenya, Nigeria leaders
Liberia's President has announced that he will reduce his annual salary from US$13,400 to $8,000 – a 40% cut – to demonstrate solidarity with Liberians burdened by the rising cost of living. Mr. Boakai’s office said the president had taken the step to demonstrate his commitment to running a responsible and transparent government, a call that has been reverberating across Liberia and other countries in Africa.
