Amid the dire economic struggles facing Liberians, the recent purchase of two luxury vehicles by President Joseph Boakai has ignited a fierce debate across the nation. The 2025 Lexus LX 700HR Super Ultra Luxury SUVs, valued at nearly US$300,000, have become a symbol of perceived hypocrisy, causing a public outcry as critics question the President’s commitment to the people he vowed to serve.
The controversy unfolded last week when images of the luxury vehicles in the President’s motorcade surfaced, sparking backlash. The purchase directly contradicts Boakai’s earlier pledges to avoid extravagant spending.
