The wife of opposition leader Alexander B Cummings of the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP), Mrs. Theresa Cummings, on Saturday, July 28, 2023, toured twelve communities.
Mrs. Theresa Cummings while on the journey, stated that her tour was intended to know the actual living conditions of the people, mostly women and girls who she believes are the most vulnerable of the Liberian society.
“The only way you can feel a person’s condition is to come see for yourself. You can’t know how the people are feeling by only talking but to see for yourself.” During her assessment tour, she was informed by community dwellers about their deplorable living conditions that they asserted to have come from bad governance.
In furtherance, they also called on Mrs. Cummings to assist the community by creating drainages in the community to help them get a way out of the flooding that the community is facing as of the result of the heavy down pull of rain. This is important because they said they are being challenged with diferent sicknesses.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Cummings promised to help the flood victims to get a solution to the flooding experience by the community during the annual rainfall. Assuring the community dwellers that she will meet with the political leader of the CPP to ensure that the needful are done for the inhabitants of the community. She continued by promising to do the very best for slum dwellers around Liberia to ensure that their living conditions got better.
Mrs. Cummings went further to assure Liberians that when her husband gets elected, she will continue to pressure the CPP leader – as president to do the needful for everyone to have a better living condition.
At the same time, the chairperson of the 12th Street women association urged Mrs. Cummings to assist the women of the community to get their children out of drugs. She urged the CPP first lady to help provide micro loans for women of the community. Adding that the micro loans will be used as an empowerment for women and as well used to help their children out of drugs. Meanwhile, CPP district #: 9 representative candidate Fobie Henry cautioned members of the district to be wise of political gifts.
He asserted that politicians will come with promises and presenting gifts in the request of another six years, but he wants the inhabitants of district 9 to accept the gift and make the right choice by electing the CPP to liberate them from their current state of being.
