The National Executive Committee of the Congress for Democratic Change appreciates all Americans for the successful conduct of the 2024 American elections and congratulates President-Elect Donald Trump on his historic win. Former President Trump’s win is a testament to the strength of American Democracy, which shows exceptional respect for the will of the people.
In another development, the National Executive Committee calls on Joseph Boakai to desist from his selfish political desire to destabilize the Democracy of the State. Mr. Boakai is dangerously attempting to impose a one-party-dominant state and undermine checks and balances in the Government, with the Executive Branch interfering and dominating the Legislature and disrespecting the decisions of the Liberian Judiciary.
The Party believes that President Boakai is unbothered amid the Government’s failure to pay the AFL and other government workers, massive off-budget spending, rampant corruption at several government institutions, the LRRRC, etc., but chooses to waste State resources by sponsoring the removal of Speaker J. Fonati Koffa. It is evident that Mr. Boakai and his Unity Party Government are crumbling under the weight of their government and are seeking escape through possible instability that may result from his dangerous political maneuvering, including the continuous political harassment of the CDC and the unlawful removal of the Speaker.
Given the risk this ploy of the Unity Party poses to our democratic practices, the CDC is surprised that some of its partisans who are lawmakers will allow themselves to be used in this process.
This act of the partisans violates Part II, Chapter I, Rule 5 of the CDC Constitution. Hence, the Party will create no space for such deviant partisans. The Party has therefore decided to, in keeping with Part II, Chapter I, Rule 14 to TEMPORARILY SUSPEND those partisans who are lawmakers being used and request them, in keeping with Part I, Article 15, Section 80 and Part II, Chapter I, Rule 17 & 18 to avail themselves of the National Disciplinary Committee (Grievance and Ethics Committee) for investigation.
Those involved are as follows:
- Deputy Speaker Thomas P. Fallah …. Rep. District #1, Lofa County
- Hon. Alexander Poure ………………….. Rep. District #1, River Gee County
- Hon. Isaac B. Choloplay Wuo …….… Rep. District #2, River Gee County
- Hon. Johnson S. N. Williams ………… Rep. District #3, River Gee County
- Hon. Julie F. Wiah ……………………….. Rep. District #2, Lofa County
- Hon. Momo Siafa Kpoto ..…………….. Rep. District #3, Lofa County
- Hon. Ivar K. Jones ……………………….. Rep. District #2, Margibi County
- Hon. Emmanuel Yarl ……………………. Rep. District #4, Margibi County
- Hon. Clarence Gahr ……………………. Rep. District #5, Margibi County
- Hon. P. Mike Jurry ……………………….. Rep. District #1, Maryland County
- Hon. Samson Q. Wiah ……………….. Rep. District #2, Sinoe County
The CDC remains committed to upholding the peace and stability of the State and cautions Joseph Boakai to desist from instituting political manipulations that have the potential to undermine our hard-earned peace.
In furtherance, the Party informs all its partisans and supporters that its Martyrs Day, November 7, 2024, will celebrated in District #15, Montserrado County. This year’s celebration will be held in a quiet ceremony in the said district; we encourage all partisans to assemble.
In conclusion, the party remains focused on “Turning Setbacks into a Great Comeback”.
Long live the CDC
Long live the Masses Struggle
