Unity Party HQ Project Risk Another Fiasco
Amid Mounting Calls For Investigation over US13 Million Into US$1.3 Million Fundraising Campaign Money
IPNEWS: Fresh concerns are emerging within Liberia’s ruling Unity Party over the status of its proposed national headquarters project, months after party officials announced a successful raising of more than US$1.3 million during a widely publicized homecoming and fundraising campaign held in Monrovia.
The fundraising event, organized on December 6, 2025, attracted hundreds of partisans, government officials, and supporters at the party’s old headquarters in Congo Town.
The initiative was promoted as a major step toward strengthening the party’s operational capacity and constructing a modern headquarters for the governing institution.
At the time, senior party officials disclosed that the funds were generated through cash donations, checks, and mobile money contributions collected during the first phase of a nationwide fundraising drive.
According to officials, the resources were intended to support party activities, secure land, and finance the development of a new headquarters facility in Congo Town.
However, nearly several months after the fundraiser, there appears to be little visible evidence of progress surrounding the ambitious project.
The silence from party leadership regarding construction plans, land acquisition details, or financial expenditures has triggered growing speculation and concern among sections of the party’s support base.
Several partisans who participated in the homecoming rally have reportedly begun questioning whether the headquarters project has stalled.
Some supporters argue that expectations were significantly raised during the fundraising campaign, yet tangible results remain absent.
Others say the lack of public accountability is beginning to create mistrust among ordinary party loyalists who contributed financially to the initiative.
A reliable source within the Unity Party, speaking on condition of anonymity, alleged that internal concerns have surfaced regarding the management and accounting of portions of the money raised during the fundraiser.
According to the source, some members are now demanding a comprehensive financial report detailing how the US$1.3 million has been utilized since the event concluded.
“Our people contributed in good faith because they believed the project was serious,” the source claimed.
“But many are now asking where the money went and why there is no clear update from the leadership.”
Political observers warn that the controversy could damage the credibility of the ruling party at a time when Liberians are increasingly demanding transparency and accountability from political institutions and public officials.
UP partisans argue that fundraising exercises involving huge sums of money require regular public disclosures in order to maintain confidence among supporters and donors.
Critics of the Unity Party have also seized upon the situation, suggesting that the headquarters initiative risks becoming another unfulfilled political promise if party leaders fail to provide concrete updates on the status of the project.
Some opposition voices have questioned whether proper financial oversight mechanisms were established to monitor the funds generated from the nationwide campaign.
Efforts to obtain official comments from senior Unity Party officials regarding the growing concerns reportedly proved unsuccessful, as several officials declined to respond to questions surrounding the project and allegations linked to the management of the fundraising proceeds.
Meanwhile, investigations further reveal that concerns among partisans extend beyond Monrovia, with some county chapters also reportedly seeking clarity on how their local fundraising contributions are being integrated into the national headquarters initiative.
In B**g County, for example, the Unity Party chapter reportedly raised more than L$2.1 million during a local fundraising rally held in Gbarnga as part of efforts to contribute toward the party’s broader US$500,000 national fundraising target ahead of the December 6 homecoming event.
The B**g County campaign was spearheaded by prominent party figures, including Senator Prince K. Moye and Deputy Health Minister Martha C. Morris.
According to party organizers at the time, funds generated from county-level activities were intended to support local party operations while also contributing toward the development of the proposed national headquarters project.
However, some supporters now fear that the vision promoted during the fundraising campaign may never materialize unless the party leadership provides full transparency and visible action regarding the use of the money raised.
