CDC-COP Calls on JFK to Reinstate Suspended Nurse Bedell; Gives Raji 7 Days to Remove Unity Party Officials from LFA or Risk FIFA Sanctions; Declares Joekai “Non-Governmental Material”

By Staff Reporter

Monrovia, Liberia | May 27, 2026

The foremost political civil rights movement, CDC–Council of Patriots (CDC-COP), has launched a blistering attack against the Government of Liberia, the Liberia Football Association (LFA), and senior officials of the Boakai administration, demanding the immediate reinstatement of suspended nurse Paola N. Bedell while warning of possible FIFA consequences over what it described as political interference in Liberian football.

Addressing a major media gathering in Monrovia on Tuesday, CDC-COP National Chairman, Foday N. Massaquoi, accused the government of suppressing truth and intimidating health professionals following the suspension and arrest of Registered Nurse Paola N. Bedell by the John F. Kennedy Medical Center.

According to Massaquoi, Nurse Bedell’s only offense was warning fellow health workers to remain vigilant regarding possible Ebola-related concerns amid reports that Liberia currently has approximately 16 Ebola-related cases under review.

“The CDC-COP views this action not only as an attack on one patriotic nurse, but as a dangerous assault on truth, transparency, and public health accountability in Liberia,” Massaquoi declared.

The CDC-COP chairman questioned the government’s credibility on the issue, arguing that authorities cannot simultaneously seek nearly USD $4.2 million for emergency preparedness while punishing a frontline nurse for encouraging caution among healthcare workers.

“If there is absolutely no Ebola concern in Liberia, why is the government seeking millions of dollars for preparedness? Why are suspected cases being monitored? Why were health workers secretly briefed internally about Ebola precautions?” he asked.

Massaquoi maintained that Nurse Bedell committed no crime and instead acted responsibly in the interest of public safety.

“She did not sabotage the state. She did not incite violence. She did not spread hatred. She simply acted as a responsible healthcare worker by encouraging vigilance during a possible public health threat,” he said.

The CDC-COP further recalled Liberia’s painful 2014 Ebola experience, warning that silencing health workers could undermine national preparedness and public trust during any potential outbreak.

As part of its demands, the movement called for the immediate and unconditional reinstatement of Nurse Bedell, a public apology from JFK and state security agencies, withdrawal of all disciplinary actions against her, and full transparency from the Ministry of Health and the National Public Health Institute of Liberia regarding all Ebola-related cases under review.

“Truth is not a crime. Silencing nurses will never stop diseases,” Massaquoi emphasized, while describing Bedell as a “revolutionary nurse” who deserves recognition rather than punishment.

CDC-COP Threatens Resistance Against “Political Capture” of LFA

In another major development, the CDC-COP turned its attention to the Liberia Football Association, accusing LFA President Mustapha Raji of turning the football institution into what it described as a “Unity Party auxiliary.”

The movement alleged that Raji’s quest for a controversial third term had led to an “demonic alliance” with the Unity Party, thereby undermining the independence of football governance in Liberia.

“The CDC-COP condemns this weaponization of sports governance,” Massaquoi stated.

Citing FIFA Statutes Articles 14 and 19, the group argued that football associations are required to operate independently and without political interference.

The CDC-COP specifically criticized the presence of senior Unity Party officials within the LFA structure, including the Unity Party Chairman, Luther Tarpeh who reportedly serves as Head for Mobilization and Resource Funding, and Unity Party Secretary General Amos B. Tweh, who was allegedly appointed Chairman of Marketing and Sponsorship after reportedly paying USD $34,000 to become an Executive Committee member.

“Is this not political capture for political manipulation?” Massaquoi asked the gathering.

The movement warned that the alleged politicization of the LFA could expose Liberia to FIFA sanctions if corrective measures are not taken immediately.

As a result, the CDC-COP issued a seven-day ultimatum to Mustapha Raji to remove all Unity Party officials from positions within or around the LFA.

“Failure to act in the interest of serving football independently will place full responsibility for any possible consequences, including the total ban of Liberia from all FIFA-related sporting activities, squarely on Mr. Raji,” Massaquoi warned.

The CDC-COP vowed to continue resisting what it called the transformation of the LFA into “Unity Party-LFA.”

Joekai Declared “Non-Governmental Material”

The movement also launched a direct attack against Mr. Josiah Joekai, whom the CDC-COP described as “non-governmental material.”

Massaquoi called on the Liberian Senate to immediately relieve Joekai of his position, accusing President Joseph Boakai of prioritizing partisanship over professionalism in governance.

“President Boakai has allowed partisanship to overshadow professionalism in national governance. He will never take action against his partisan Joekai,” the CDC-COP chairman asserted.

Protest Mobilization Intensifies

Meanwhile, the CDC-COP used the occasion to rally support for the upcoming “Boakai Must LEAD or LEAVE” protest scheduled for July 17, 2026, at the Executive Mansion.

Massaquoi praised Liberians both at home and abroad for what he described as overwhelming support toward the planned demonstration and encouraged citizens to continue mobilizing peacefully.

“We encourage all patriotic citizens to continue mobilizing peacefully, courageously, and lawfully as we collectively demand accountability, justice, constitutional governance, and national transformation,” he concluded.

The statement was sanctioned by the National Executive Council of the CDC–Council of Patriots.

The hearing marks an important moment in strengthening democratic governance, electoral transparency, and institutional leadership in Liberia.

Stakeholders, partners, and citizens continue to follow the process with great interest as the Commission advances its mandate of conducting free, transparent and credible elections.

🇨🇳🇱🇷On May 26th, Yin Chengwu, Chinese Ambassador to Liberia, attended the final of the 25th "Chinese Bridge" Chinese Proficiency Competition in Liberia and delivered a speech. Hon. Prof. Layli Maparyan, President of the University of Liberia, Hon. Charlyne Taylor, Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Liberia, attended the event.

In his speech, Yin briefed on the Global Civilization Initiative, the China-Africa Year of People-to-People Exchanges, and the International Day for Dialogue among Civilizations. He stated that the Chinese language carries thousands of years of Chinese civilization and wisdom, and stands as an important cultural public good contributed by China to the world. Chinese language education in Liberia helps many students understand Chinese culture, realize their personal dreams, and gain valuable friendships. He hoped the students could continue learning Chinese, and become participants, witnesses, and promoters of China-Liberia friendship, so that the friendship may continue to be carried forward and flourish.

Both Hon. Maparyan and Hon. Taylor praised fruitful cooperation between China and Liberia, encouraged students to actively learn Chinese, embrace new knowledge and opportunities, and promote friendship between the two countries.

27/05/2026

"Joekai is backing a movement that endorses the agenda for which he was appointed and by legal definition, the movement is not classified as a political party and has not undergone formal registration. The Liberian legal framework does not recognize a "movement" as an alternative to a political party and supporting a movement that promotes the agenda of the government that the CSA boss is a part of, should not be an issue. He is promoting his own work. Said action does not constitute any illegal activity."

- Rep. Sumo Mulbah of district #3 Montserrado County, reacts to Senator Amara Konneh criticism of CSA Boss participation in political activities. Full statement 👇👇👇

Honorable Amara Konneh, although computer science and financial management offer a rational basis for evaluation, understanding government and politics is essential to consider the human inclination to behave illogically or contrary to public benefits, demonstrating that these fields are closely intertwined in contemporary society. Gaining extensive insight into political matters and policy will demand significant effort.

Let us evaluate individuals based on their productivity and effectiveness rather than their political opinions or affiliations. If Jorkai has truly performed admirably, present the proof and highlight his shortcomings rather than making assertions that fall outside the realm of governance.

Achieving effective governance in Liberia demands a dedication to fostering national unity that goes beyond political factions and rhetoric tied to identity. I am convinced that by concentrating on the shared objective of national progress, we can reduce the dangers linked to political division and create a more inclusive and flourishing future.

The Liberian legal framework does not recognize a "movement" as an alternative to a political party with regards to the legal duties and rights connected to electoral campaigning. Within the New Elections Law of Liberia, the definition of a political party is clearly defined; an organization must be registered to present candidates, raise money, and partake in sanctioned campaign activities. Therefore, a "movement" that fails to be a registered political party does not have the legal authority to participate in activities referred to as "campaigning" according to the law. Campaign activities are limited to registered political parties, coalitions, and independent candidates who have satisfied the NEC's criteria.

The Constitution of the Republic of Liberia guarantees freedom of expression and the right to assemble, which allows civil society groups, NGOs, and social movements to operate and disseminate information on public interest issues. Awareness to promote the agenda of the government that the CSA boss is a part of, shouldn't be an issue, in that he's promoting his own work.

The ongoing discussion regarding the involvement of appointed officials in Liberia, including the Director-General of the Civil Service Agency (CSA), frequently highlights the conflict between a "political system" and the need for a partial, professional bureaucracy.

Within political science, especially in the context of Liberia, it is evident that appointed officials act as workers of the executive branch; but truly, they are representatives of the ruling party. Since these individuals are selected by the President to enforce a designated political agenda, their association with the governing party is not simply a matter of personal preference; it is essential for maintaining the unity of the administration's policy objectives.

In context, all previous heads of the CSA have similarly aligned themselves with their ruling party. The reality is that no president would choose to appoint a civil service head from the opposition to oversee approximately 15% of the nation’s workforce. From these political and historical viewpoints, Joekai, the head of the CSA, is not breaching the essence of the law; instead, he is meeting the political demands associated with his role, which involves promoting the government's ongoing stability and achievements. Backing a movement that, by legal definition, isn't classified as a political party and has not undergone formal registration, while still endorsing the agenda for which he was appointed, does not constitute any illegal activity.

Finally, we should prioritize taking actions that our people can feel rather than producing written content they can only see but not truly benefit. Remember, you are part of the government, and if the executive fails, we in the legislature and judiciary also fail. The government is not just one branch. Our work as a legislature is to support and not to jeopardize.

PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Brewerville, Liberia

Jarwlee Tweh Geegbe, a former leading human rights advocate in Liberia and affiliated with organizations including Rescue
Alternatives Liberia and the Liberia Coalition of Human Rights Defenders, has unequivocally condemned the violent and
disturbing events that reportedly unfolded during the Second District Report of the Representative of District 17. These acts of barbarism should concern every peace-loving citizen, regardless of political affiliation.

What was intended to be a peaceful democratic gathering aimed at informing constituents of District 17 and fostering civic engagement was instead overshadowed by an atmosphere of tension, intimidation, and fear. Young people and students from the district, who gathered to peacefully express their concerns and dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs,
reportedly found themselves confronted by individuals alleged to be associates of Representative Bernard Benson. These
individuals, widely identified by residents as the "Gaza Boys," were described as acting in an aggressive and intimidatingmanner.

Disturbingly, members of this group reportedly appeared in coordinated outfits bearing the inscription "Gaza Brigade" on their backs. This display created the impression that their presence was not spontaneous but rather organized in advance. Eyewitness accounts further allege that sonme individuals were brought in from outside District 17, raising serious concerns about the intent behind their participation in what should have been a public and inclusive district event.

These developments raise critical questions:

• Why would an elected lawnmaker feel compelled to rely on groups allegedly acting as personal enforcers, rather than trusting the Liberia National Police and the rule of law to maintain order?

• Why should peaceful students and residents of District 17, exercising their democratic rights through placards and calls for accountability, be treated with hostility?

Such actions are deeply troubling and pose a threat to the democratic principles upon which our society is built.

The frustration amnong residents of District 17 is both real and growing. For months, citizens have voiced concerns regarding unfulfilled promises, questionable project implementation, lack of transparency, and the slow pace of meaningful development.
These concerns warrant dialogue and accountability, not intimidation or suppression.
No citizen should ever feel threatened for holding their leaders accountable. No student should feel unsafe for peacefully expressing dissent.

And no public servant should wield power in a manner that instills fear among the very people they were elected to serve.

District 17 deserves mature, responsible, and people-centered representation leadership that listens attentively, acts decisively,
communicates honestly, and upholds the dignity of its constituents. The people deserve accountability, development,
opportunity, and respect.

In light of these events, I call on community leaders, civil society organizations, youth groups, and national stakeholders to unequivocally condemn all forms of political intimidation and violence, regardless of the individuals involved. The future of our district and our democracy depends on our collective commitment to protecting the rights and voices of all citizens.

●The people are watching.
●The people are thinking.
●And ultimately, the people will decide the future of District 17.

Jarwlee Tweh Geegbe is an emerging voice for empowerment in District 17, a former national leader in human rights advocacy, a human resource developer, a philanthropist, and a committed advocate for justice and accountability.

Montserrado County District #3 Representative Sumo Mulbah Response to Naymote Report—Says Primary Concern of Constituents in Legislative Reporting Revolves Around Utilization of Funds for Public Benefit

Rep. Sumo Mulbah writes....✍️👇

"In the realm of legislative reporting, the primary concern of constituent is revolved around the utilization of government funds for the benefit of the public. It's a good thing for Naymote to put out a friendship report based on the specific of lucrative committees. However, Naymote, Mr. Eddie should engage with local government officials to prepare their expenditure reports based on County Development and Social Development funding in order to have a comprehensive report. Any report that doesn't include financial details of the CDF and SDF is considered incomplete by the people of District # 3. Funding for the county and social contributions from concessions that impacts the district via decentralized budget allocations should be

In the realm of legislative reporting, the primary concern of constituent is revolved around the utilization of government funds for the benefit of the public. It's a good thing for Naymote to put out a friendship report based on the specific of lucrative committees. However, Naymote, Mr. Eddie should engage with local government officials to prepare their expenditure reports based on County Development and Social Development funding in order to have a comprehensive report. Any report that doesn't include financial details of the CDF and SDF is considered incomplete by the people of District # 3. Funding for the county and social contributions from concessions that impacts the district via decentralized budget allocations should be included in legislative updates.

In the Liberian political context, a lawmaker’s constituent report is a formal mechanism of accountability designed to bridge the gap between the legislature and the citizenry. While specific formats may vary by individual office, these reports generally entail a comprehensive summary of the legislator’s activities during a specific legislative session. They typically include a detailed account of bills sponsored or supported, voting records on critical national issues, and updates on the status of development projects funded through the County Social Development Fund (CSDF) or other legislative allocations.

Our people are not impressed by your superficial evaluations of radio experiences conducted on lawmakers, such efforts neither validate nor justify how our County, District, Social Development funds are spent. What the county truly needs is a full accounting of financial reports to counties and Districts, including detailed records of how our CDF and SDF were used. In Montserrado alone, 186,000USD over three years adds up to half a million, hardly an insignificant sum. With the 15 counties, government allot 2,790,000 every year. So from 2024 to 2026, we are discussing 8,370,000usd.

Do not mislead citizens with meaningless data. We also demand clear information on budget allocations.

Gone those days when civil society groups could shield citizens views from accountability issues. We were elected to serve, and any so called group who fails to act responsibly in the interests of the masses will face consequences. As the president has emphasized: business as usual is no longer acceptable. The people of District # 3 need a full report on social and county development funds.

In the context of the 2018 local government act, lawmakers have nothing absolutely to do with county development funds, it's the County Council and the Superintendent to manage development initiatives; yet, we have an oversight in knowing what was done with budgetary allotments.

Furthermore, the involvement of civil society organizations (CSOs) , in County Council leadership ; who should act as independent whistleblowers, compromise their neutrality by participating in executive decision-making. I said it over and over, the present of CSOs in the leadership of local government, creates a "dual-role" conflict where the entities meant to monitor the process are now effectively part of the management structure, making it difficult for the public to discern who is responsible for reporting on fund utilization.

The central question is this: how can Naymote, a civil society organization, maintain a neutral stance in its reporting if the civil society group holds representation on the county council? When those responsible for oversight are embedded within the very system they are meant to monitor, how can genuine transparency and accountability be achieved in local governance?

Conclusively, it is important to note that the district's report to the community should reflect how the funds for district development and social development are used. Let the local officials also report on county and social development funds, as the lawmaker complete the process. The people need a comprehensive report and not just partial."
