Sadly, 6yrs down the line in national governance, it is now physically profound to express that the Republic stands at a climatical point where the country is decaying due to amplified and intensified misrule that is tagged with gross administrative inadequacy and scantiness. The nation now has a leadership that is a host of glutinous and covetous rascals that defines the theory of governance as a process of self-enrichment and aggrandizement at the detriment of the whole nation instead of seeking the welfare of the people through dignified administrative governance that inspires nationalism and patriotism. It is now an uncontested fact that traitorous thievery has been normalized, standardized, and formalized in Mr. Weah’s criminal paradise of a fiasco government. The homeland is in the hands of not just one of the worst tragedies ever in the country’s history, but also the least yet fraudulent collection of people who are so bereft of statecraft. The last five years have been very turbulent and nauseatingly irksome for the Liberian people as discontent, hopelessness, and frustration overwhelm them due to the poor leadership that presides over the Liberian public administration. Liberia is at a critical juncture where the path to progressive state-building remains elusive to the people, with no hope, and horror has become the official symbol of the country. Bad times and crises have befallen the people thus subjecting the masses of the Liberian people to horror and the furnace of hermitical social throes and whirling economic despondency.

On the Economy:

Mr. Weah in a shortsighted understanding of the focal engine of macroeconomic stability which depends on the improvement of Inflation, Gross Domestic Product, and Unemployment, went on yesterday to say that the Liberian economy is an exception in the West African Sub-region. How came an exceptional economy in the subregion cannot account for one Foreign Direct Investment after six years? How come an exceptional economy that is professed to have macroeconomic stability cannot account for job creation and economic empowerment of the Liberian people? How come a so-called stable economy only generates economic hardship and poverty for the people? Weah should ask Tweah to tell the Liberian which theory of economics argues this concept. Again, Weah went on to hallucinate that he inherited 30% inflation in 2018 and it’s now at 7%., a boldface half-truth. Inflation was at 12% when Weah took over in 2018. It was due to the gross incompetence and inability of the Weah government to properly manage the economy of the country that fast-speeded inflation to 31% in 2019. A situation that caused serious hardship for the Liberian people and incapacitated the government from regularly paying civil servants on time. This was when Tweah had to sneak into donors' consolidated accounts to settle civil servants' salaries. If Weah has forgotten, we haven’t! Weah claims the economy is doing well because there has been a stable exchange rate for over two years. What he fails to understand is that increased economic productivity as a result of an artificial smoothening by the IMF Structural Adjustment Programs is not an impetus for sustainable economic recovery. The day IMF stops rolling loans to the government, the economy will get more deplorable than it is. This is not how a vibrant economy is built. How is inflation reduction meaningful when prices of basic commodities on the Liberian market are at a skyrocketing pace? But again, Weah doesn’t know these things. He just read whatever is given to him by Tweah. On this issue of GDP as a determinant of macroeconomic stability, Mr. Weah inherited a GDP of 3.26Billion and currently, it is estimated to be around 3Billion. What progress has been made on this front that can be culminated into growth? Unemployment is ever-heightening as there has been no program to programs to create jobs for the people. Perhaps, it’s under the Sacremore Tree that there can be macroeconomic stability without improvements in the GDP and Unemployment rates of the country.

The nation is now overwhelmed by economic decadence if not paralysis. Instead of the government normalizing a prosperous economy, the government has normalized an economy that suffers stagflation where there is low economic growth, high inflation, and a high unemployment rate. Under George weah, inflation has consumed real wages while the real wage bill of civil servants remains static even though the cost of basic commodities is rapidly snowballing. The scourge of inflation has struck economic wounds on the masses of the Liberian people and left them to wager in hopelessness and hunger. In the hunger index, Liberia ranks 113th out of 121 countries. This indicates that Liberia is a starving nation amongst the comity of nations. The nation's ranks in the human development index are also appalling and awful. Out of 192 countries, Liberia ranks 178 next war zone countries. As our direct victim of these conditions, we are holding the government of Mr. Weah responsible as the government is the creator of these conditions. Under the Weah administration, the multidimensional poverty rate has grown to 52.3 and the vulnerable population to multidimensional poverty is 23.3. This shows to the world and the people that the musical president has skilled the Liberian masses into poverty. As the PADP promised 1 million jobs in 6yrs, youthful employment remains all-time high as means of employment remain partisanship, whereby denying qualified and skilled Liberians the opportunity to serve their homeland. Amid all these challenges, president weah abandoned the economy on numerous occasions to either make music or honeymoon abroad in useless travels that have brought no benefit to the country.

Pres. Weah promises to take Liberians from the audience or spectator seat of the economy to a more active, involved, and participative position where the people can earn a decent lifestyle. Unfortunately, the people have become decorated onlookers and unshakable bystanders of the economy as the president and his collection of criminal cliques and foreign capitalists suck and enjoy the fabric of the economy. Today, 1 million jobs and the liberalization policy is abandoned behind the lip service of incarceration while they prioritize their cronies and foreign capitalist allies in the economy. We want to categorically state that president weah has failed and damaged the Liberian economy. The Liberian people must be told that Mr. weah couldn’t stabilize the economy for 6yrs in service. All these years the people have been faced with mounting economic challenges as prices skyrocket on industrial skill and the government heartlessly reduced the salary of civil servants. The wage bill of teachers, officers, nurses, doctors, army personnel, and civil servants remains very low while the economic thugs of the Weah-led government are criminally enriching themselves and sunbathing in opulence at the disservice of the people.

On Education

Mr. Weah through the PAPD told the Liberian people that investment in human capital will be a national priority. The president promised massive school enrollment and the construction of TVET institutions to hasten national consciousness and empowerment. Lamentably for the people and the republic, the president has disastrously failed on these promises in short, medium, and long terms plus all other forms that one may think of. SUP is asking Mr. Weah the following as promised in the PAPDP: why has the Early Childhood Education (ECE) student-to-classroom ratio haven’t reduced below 50:1 in all counties? Why you have not ensured that 70% of male and female Senior High School Students pass WASSCE with a score of Division 1-6? Why School renovation and classroom construction in targeted counties where ECE classes are overcrowded is still invisible? Where are the New and existing school’s construction and upgrading of facilities? Where are the Upgraded 4 TVET institutes? Where is the Constructed housing for teachers in remote communities?

Under the weah’s leadership, the education sector of 19,763 STAFFERS and more than 2 million students are subjected to less than 10% budgetary support even though universal protocol obligates governments everywhere to accost 20% budgetary support to education. It is an unarguable fact that Liberia is the only country in the ECOWAS region that is spending less than 20% on education. What a national shame under a pro-poor government that professes to be at the service of the people. The president has shown zero attention to the advancement of the Education Sector for the period in national service thus far. Like other budget years, since the inception of the weah’s administration, the current budgetary allotment of the education sector is an insufficient 96.7M which is a drop in the ocean to handle the appalling challenges of the sector and as well as strengthen and fortify the academic capacity of students as a way of inspiring national development and growth. We believe the continued action of the CDC administration to underfund the education sector is because the government is presided over by a president who is more interested in generating wealth than providing education for the Liberian people.

On Agriculture

The Agricultural Sector commands the greatest possibility of absorbing our people into employment. The high level of unemployment in the country can only be mitigated if the government sees the urgency to massively invest in the agriculture sector. The sector can also assure our people of food security and adequacy. As the PAPD promises, by 2023, Liberia will have a more competitive and diversified agricultural sector that promotes value chains for food self-sufficiency, increased exports, job creation, and livelihood opportunities. For Liberia to realize its potential for sustained economic growth, implementation of the LASIP II must be accelerated. Sadly, the PAPD contains ambitious promises that aren’t backed by practical support. Since the CDC took national office, agriculture has suffered intensified abandonment as the budgetary support of the sector can’t reach 5% as it still drags in less than the 2% range. The CDC of Mr. Weah has massively pulverized the hopes of the people and students, especially the students of the University of Liberia, who are studying agriculture and hoping for employment in the agriculture sector. In a pro-poor government that should be significantly investing the agriculture sector, the government is allotting an insufficient 5 million to the sector. How can this figure make any significant progress in a sector that lacks almost everything that is required for a productive and prosperous sector? We believe that Mr. Weah has taken the Agricultural Sector to a new chapter of food insecurity while the Liberian people are left to suffer the consequences of malnutrition and undernourishment. The only active and functional plan we undoubtedly believe that the government has worked with in the six years in service is to constantly beg for food in foreign lands. Agriculture is the future of the Liberian economy any government that is serious about initiating radical social transformation would focus much attention on bettering the Agro sector. Not just with empty figments of the imagination of policies but well-thought-of and scientific policies backed by practical action geared towards empowering the local farmers with both resources and material implements.

On Healthcare

Weah has failed to address adequately the issues concerning the health sector of the country. After nearly 6 years, all the public health facilities across the country are deplorable state. The Health sector is in shambles and turmoils. Curable illnesses like Malaria and Typhoid can’t even be cured by public hospitals and medical centers. No drugs in the hospitals and clinics. Health workers strike due to poor and delayed salaries. Life expectancy under the Weah government remains ever-low. In Montserrado, where everything is centralized, the people do not have any good access to affordable and quality healthcare services. If such is the condition here, just imagine what the Liberian people in the countryside endure. Sadly, this is the state of healthcare under Weah.

Rule of Law and National Security

On January 22, 2018, Mr. Weah took an oath to protect, preserve, and defend the constitution of the Republic of Liberia. Unfortunately for the state, the President who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution degenerated into a monstrous constitutional delinquent and has since stood on a firm ground of deviancy disrupting and violating every trend of the Constitution like the nomination and subsequent commissioning of George Patten as Liberia Ambassador to the United States without the consent of Liberia Senate, which undermines article 58, the delay in conducting the National Housing and Population Census, the illegal and unconstitutional removal of Justice Janeh from the Supreme Court Bench, just to name few. Under the Weah-led government, the constitution and the basic laws of the country suffer willful and calculated neglect as Mr. Weah preferably runs the country with visible dictatorial tendencies while at the same time basking in the gutter of gross human capital bankruptcy and incompetence.

As this president came to power through constitutional adherence from his predecessor, this president couldn’t conduct timely by-elections and the national census in line with the modus operandi of the constitution of the country. The maritime Law of Liberia, the national lottery law of Liberia, the unconstitutional appointment and commissioning of Liberia’s ambassador to the United States, and the refusal of the president to declare his assets in line with the 2014 code of conduct are all blatant violations of the organic laws of the country. Additionally, the numerous state-sponsored attacks against innocent citizens and student leaders at the University of Liberia are violations of the democratic laws of the people and students. We believe that the constitution and basic laws of the republic were the most victimized in the six-year misrule of the mafia in George Weah. As a result of the attacks on the rule of law, the Liberian people have suffered a high level of insecurity; this has led to a high level of arm robbery and mysterious killings of innocent Liberians like the four auditors with no proper investigation. Investors and business people have also lost confidence in the country because of heightened insecurity. Under Weah Liberian is a “Wrong Turn” as every day comes with a new mysterious death. National Security is so volatile to the extent that Weah has irresponsibly asked citizens to buy for themselves CCTV cameras. What a Banana Republic Liberia has become with the Weah~CDC calamity

Finally, the last six years of the Weah~CDC gangster rule have condemned our people to shady living conditions. Before their eyes, they have witnessed Weah and his cabal of social misfits and career racketeers of cabinet amassed wealth and begin living luxury lifestyles you couldn’t afford some years ago. They have seen the Weah gangster clique brazenly brutalize the national treasury for their self-amusement while they go to bed with a fire in their wrangled stomachs. Before their eyes, the masses see their children's dreams rot in the wasteland with little or nothing to do about developing them while you and your clique live the most fashionable level of comfort. A whole generation has gone to forceful drug and prostitution, brilliant and talented young people, yet after five years, you do nothing about these situations. The masses in the shantytowns and ghetto communities who have known and lived hunger, despair, and frustration are the motor forces that are going to determine whether you will return to the Executive Mansion after October this year. The masses you promised to create jobs for thus alleviating 1 million of them from abject poverty, a hot air of a promise that is forever not coming, these are the people that will determine your second term. The general and broader resilient masses of the Liberian people whose hopes and aspirations you dashed in the pit of history since your inception, these are the people that are going to make the supreme decision in October!

And given all sides equal, per the prevailing circumstances in the country and the appalling living conditions of the the people, and in parallel with the midterm senatorial elections results, it is undisputed that that the opposition is in the driving seat to command the support of the Liberian in a first ballot victory. And that the only pathway to Weah and the CDC re-election is to rig the elections and put thugs in the streets with the joint security of the country to purge fear and intimidation in the Liberian who will are determined to put up resistance to any electoral frauds that will make Weah president again. This is the terrible plot they have cooked and waiting dish out in October. A dangerous situation to puts threats to the peace and democracy of the state.

The Center Revolutionary Vanguard Movement wants to sound this caveat very resoundingly that the will of the Liberian people in October should be respected and never be tempered with by Weah and his criminal CDC cabal. And that the Liberian people will only settle for a free, fair, transparent and credible elections. That anything contrary to this, Weah and his CDC gang should be willing to kill us all because we will fiercely resist every effort along the way that will fronts for stealing the elections to favor the CDC.

We want to say to Commissioner Davidetta Brown Lassanah, NEC chairperson, that the peace and stability of this country lies on your shoulders and that you have the greatest task ever in your life to maintain this peace and have our people move on with their lives and all depends on how you and your team will go about managing these elections. Liberia and Liberians have been through a lot and they don’t deserve anything bad to carry them backwards. We caution you to honorably manage these processes.
