This week, Mary Broh, the hot tempered Monrovia City Mayor was on Capitol Hill, in Liberia’s capital of Monrovia to face the Liberian Assembly over parking fees her city council introduced last year. Liberian law makers were not impressed, with one of the newly elected representatives declaring that his sister was losing money to her business, because she was paying too much money for parking fees.
Thomas Koom fumed to Broh, that his “sister pays L$500.00 daily, when the L$50.00 she pays per hour is multiplied by ten hours (8:00am-6:00pm) for parking her car in front of the shop she rents in central Monrovia, totaling more than US$150 monthly when she hardly nets US$150 monthly” from her business, said Koom. Representative Steve Carven also chimed in, declaring that citizens would end up paying more for parking tickets annually than the worth of their cars. “The fact that John Brown has a used car he bought for US$1,000 does not mean he should spend US$1,800 yearly just on parking fees.”
