UNITY PARTY DISTRICT 9 CHAPTER
Electoral District 9, Montserrado County, Liberia
The District 9 Leadership of the Unity Party congratulates every Liberian and Foreign Dignitaries who on yesterday formed part of the elaborate Inaugural ceremony of the nation's 26th President His Excellency Kekeh Joseph Nyumah Boakai, and the country's 32nd Vice President His Honorable Zegben Jeremiah Kpan Koung of the Republic of Liberia. May the People's mandate be duly executed by those possible nominees, remember you are now one of the drivers of the train; you have been recognized because of your competence not intimacy, so be professionally diligent and committed. We also appreciate all Eminent partisans of the District who ensured District 9 special Lappa was identified, with special appreciation to Counselor B. Miller Catakaw who improvised at the Rescue Center during the celebration of the Inauguration while allocation was disbursed to conflicted District Executives without any party or program at the Campaign Headquarters.
However, the District 9 Leadership also calls for the swift audit of the Montserrado County Leadership through the offices of the Chairman and Secretary General for acts of Corruption, bribery, mismanagement, and most recently the ambiguous and parochial deduction of US $17,000 from allocation for the Inauguration to the electoral district. The Unity Party concern in District 9 is why there was no party/program organized at the Rescue Center by the Controversial Saydee Myers who the County was earlier warned not to do the business of the party with regarding the Inauguration. The persistence in deduction from money intended for the party in the District needs to be investigated front he end of the County Leadership. We hereby call on members of the National Executive Committee of the party to probe into this matter of pertinence to protect the image of the party against the corruption we have all arrived to combat.
While, we appreciate the party historic victory through the reawakening spirits of National Chairman Tarpeh and the critically robust National SG Amos Tweh, we do not which to ignite any internal confusion as supposed to being desperate for job. Jobs we already have!
We also want to make it clear that without investigating the Leadership of the County under Chairman Robert Bestman and SG Amos Kollie there would be no holistic understanding that we are truly ready to combat corruption. And the thought of enticing District officials for jobs needs to stop as it is already indicated in the revolutionary manual, so the County Leadership puting out stratification matrix to selected District officials has to also be investigated.
Lastly, we again reiterated our expressed decision on October 19, 2023 by officially proposing the expulsion of the conflicted Saydee Myers for breaching the party membership in our communication dated January 8, 2024 to the National Executive Committee and we are hopeful that the quarterly meeting of the NEC will highlight the issues of District 9 where internal surrogates will pay the price for disloyalty.
Once more we say congratulations to the all partisans of the formidable Unity Party.
Until it is better, we are bitter!!!
Signed: Daniel Trokon Bestman
Secretary General/UP-D9
