Hundreds rally against government corruption in Liberia
The government's defenders say it has suspended senior officials for alleged corruption and strengthened ties with investors.
The protesters also accuse Boakai of not keeping the promises he made while campaigning to unseat his predecessor, former Ballon D'Or-winning footballer George Weah.
One protester, 55-year-old civil servant Bendu Camara, accused the president of targeting officials associated with the Weah administration, and said he was forced into retirement when Boakai came into office.
Camara also claimed Boakai's government gave preferential treatment while distributing jobs and favoured members of his Unity Party.
"He entered the mansion and we gave him the flag for all Liberians, but he is picking and choosing. He is taking the Unity Party people to be the country's owners."
Another protester, Hawa Kpehe, said the president had "lied to the Liberian people".
