“Cdcians 102 misleading information.

This is not a government project. It is a welcome independent initiative by the Muslim women dominated Center for Humanitarian Activities in Africa headed by Alhaji Sekou Swaray.

The President was in Gbarnga, B**g County, primarily to serve as Commencement Speaker at the graduation ceremony of the B**g County Technical College (BCTC).

We will not relent until we lure these criminally lying CDCians to totally discredit themselves.”

Lawmaker React to Civil Society about the Local Government Act.

Hon Sumo Kollie Mulbah Montserrado County District #3 ✍️ ✍️ ✍️

" I received a message from a civil society group urging no changes or amendments to the 2018 Local Government Act.

I want to make this very clear to all civil society groups opposing amendments to the Local Government Act:
I suspect you may be receiving funding to covertly support corrupt traditional practices or perhaps lack a clear understanding of the local government decentralization process.

Your focus seems to be on who spends the money and on small projects, rather than addressing the actual needs of the people.

Regarding the lawmakers aiming to amend the Act, I believe the only necessary change is to ensure they receive regular monitoring support without engaging in expenditure decisions.

Furthermore, it’s essential to allow construction companies or vendors to prefinance significant projects, with evaluations carried out prior to disbursement.

The amendment to the Local Government Act isn’t about how other lawmakers perceive it as giving complete oversight; I see it differently.

I believe some clauses don't benefit the people or the project, but instead serve the interests of corruption.

Here's my view: when Ellen Johnson Sirleaf introduced this legislation to support community funding, the lawmakers managing the funds did not prioritize the public’s welfare; Instead, they redirected the money for personal projects or kept it for themselves.

Due to the legislative mismanagement of County and Social Development Funds, the Local Government Act was enacted to empower the County Council and Superintendents to oversee and manage policies and finances, thereby ensuring that decentralization benefits citizens.

However, since the Act was established and the Superintendent manages funds, the people still haven't seen any benefits. Some Superintendents are more dangerous than previous lawmakers. If this continues, Liberia will stagnate.

A clear example is Montserrado County and others, where our people haven't gained anything from the 2024 funds—150k and 77k SDF Firestone funding. We are now expecting 190K for 2025.

What's going to happen? Our people have suffered too much to be at the mercy of greedy politicians.
In short, replacing a devil caused by mismanagement with Satan is like putting the exact wine in a new bottle.

I recommend assigning project implementation to contractors based on pre-financing and project valuation before releasing funds. If we cannot do this, the beneficiaries we fight for will not gain anything, only a few.

The local government act amendment isn’t about how other lawmakers view it as having complete oversight; I see it differently.

I believe some clauses don't benefit the people or the project but rather serve the interests of the corrupt. Lastly, any civil society groups supporting the Act to be sanctioned are as corrupt as the greedy lawmakers, county council members, and superintendents".

OFFICIAL STATEMENT
By H.E. George Manneh Weah
Former President, Republic of Liberia

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Monrovia, Liberia
July 17, 2025

I wish to commend the ongoing efforts of all Liberians who continue to exercise their constitutional right to peaceful assembly and protest. In every functioning democracy, the voices of the people must be heard—and heard clearly. Every organized protest that reflects the will of the people deserves respect, protection, and attention, not intimidation, sabotage, or dismissal by the Boakai government.

Let it be known that the success of any protest is not measured by who is absent or present, but by the collective commitment of the people to speak truth to power. We are all members of various coalitions and political affiliations, but above all, we are citizens of the Republic of Liberia—a sovereign people with inviolable rights.

To the leadership of STAND headed by Mulbah Morlu and all those who continue to stand up in the wake of the Boakai government's bad governance and call for justice, accountability, and good governance, I salute your courage and resolve. Remain peaceful, remain principled, and do not lose focus. Liberia is—and must always remain—bigger than any one person, group, or political party.

Let us all stand firm in the truth:

Liberia First. Liberia Foremost. Liberia Always.

Never surrender your right to be heard. Stand up for your rights. Stand up for Liberia.

God bless Liberia

GEORGE MANNEH WEAH, Sr.
Former President of the Republic of Liberia
