Monrovia, Liberia – Former President George Mannah Weah’s Chief of Protocol at the Executive Mansion, Finda Bundoo, publicly praised President Joseph N. Boakai and his administration for permitting her to bury her father in spite of what she claimed were attempts by some to have her imprisoned. Her father’s passing, she said, made it clear who her real friends are.
On Saturday, July 18, 2026, Madam Bundoo gave a touching tribute during her father’s funeral, saying that the tragic experience had changed her perspective on life and taught her an important lesson. She however, thank a number of people for supporting her throughout one of the most trying times in her life, praising Lofa County District #1 Representative and House Deputy Speaker Thomas Fallah in particular for his steadfast assistance.
“When things were not OK, Thomas Fallah stood by me. Big brother, Papa, forget about politics. At the time, you stood by me and said, ‘She is my own.’ Thomas, I have come to say thank you,” Bundoo said.
“Thank you to the Government of Liberia, and thank you to His Excellency President Joseph N. Boakai. God comes first… My thank you to the government is for allowing me to bury my father because they never wanted me to bury my father. They said I must be at South Beach,” she declared.
Bundoo stated that she believed attempts had been made to put her in jail before her father’s funeral. However, she did not provide evidence for the charge or identify the individuals she was referring to. Bundoo once questioned why she was treated the way she was during her tribute. “Oh, my people, what wrong did I do?” she asked mourners, insisting that she had wronged no one.
She also thanked former Foreign Affairs Minister Dee-Maxwell Saah Kemayah and Deputy Minister of State for Administration Bill McGill Jones for reaching out to support her during the trying time. “When nobody called me, you called me, and your words touched me,” she said. Addressing those she believes wished to see her imprisoned, Bundoo declared, “For those of you who wanted me in jail, God will save me.”
The former head of protocol said the experience had changed her perspective of people. “I have learned my lesson. I don’t owe anybody anything,” she said.
Madam Bundoo’s remarks coincide with ongoing public criticism of a number of former president Weah government officials in alleged corruption.
