ANC Political Leader, Cummings Dissects President Weah's Recent SONA; Terms The Donation As Trash
Exactly a week after President George Weah termed the Liberian economy as stable and growing, opposition Alternative National Congress Political Leader, Alexander Cummings has heavily descended on the Liberian Leader, describing the country’s economy as sluggish with rampant corruption.
President Weah recently made the disclosure when he delivered the State of the Nation Address to members of the Legislature in consonance with Article 58 of 1986 Constitution of Liberia.
Addressing a major news conference Monday at the ANC Headquarters in Congo Town, Cummings noted that although the State of the Nation Address is an important accountability and governance mechanism, but stressed that since the ascendency of President, Liberia’s net economic growth is zero.
The opposition politician further noted that after President Weah promised to create one million jobs, unemployment remains above 80%, youth unemployment is higher than in 2017, and the exchange rate is high with prices for every single commodity.
Cummings also asserted that alleged stealing, lying, promising and taking no responsibility are the mantras of the Coalition for Democratic Change, adding that doctors, nurses, teachers, civil servants, police officers and other service men and women who keep the society together are being grossly underpaid.
"Stealing, lying, promising, taking no responsibility, lying again, promising again, and continuing the stealing are the mantras of this government as doctors, nurses, teachers, civil servants, police officers and other service men and women who keep our society together are being grossly underpaid, with some, especially teachers, having to constantly protest for their “harmonized” pay. ", Cummings stressed.
The ANC leader termed president Weah as a lier, who doesn't care for the country and it's citizens.
He wants citizens to reject his second term, adding that if George Manneh Weah is elected for the second term, Liberians will be slave into their own Country.
Cummings termed president Weah's bikes and cars donations to chiefs across the country as a politicial game to win the minds of the older folks for additional 6 years.
He however termed them as trash, nothing that Liberians have graduated from the old age politics since hundred years ago.
