By Congo Town – Former President George Weah has accused the government’s President Joseph Nyuma Boakai of alleged harassment and removal of civil servants from payroll, excessive use of force against citizens resulting in several deaths, and violations of the procurement laws of the country, among others. “He stated that the Unity Party can be assured that the CDC will use all legal and political means at its disposal to resist this move to weaponize the country’s judicial system to its selfish advantage.
Yes, Mr. Boakai, your actions to politicize justice will be resisted and resisted strongly.” The opposition leader’s statement comes days after the government indicted, arrested, and sent to jail some key former officials of his government, including Samuel D. Tweah, former Minister of Finance and Development Planning; Clir. Nyenati Tuan, former Acting Minister of Justice; Stanley S. Ford, former Director General of the Financial Intelligence Agency; D. Moses P. Cooper, former Comptroller of the Financial Intelligence Agency; and Jefferson Karmoh, former National Security Advisor, for charges of Economic Sabotage, Theft and/or Illegal Disbursement and Expenditure of Public Money, Theft of Property, Criminal Facilitation, and Criminal Conspiracy.
Addressing supporters Wednesday at the CDC Headquarters in Monrovia, Weah iterated that the government must desist from what he called cheer-picking audit reports. The former President used the occasion to call on supporters of the opposition to be prepared to take unspecified action against the government.
