The Standard Bearer of the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP), Alexander Cummings, has asked Liberians to trust him lead the country’s recovery process, resuscitate the economy, and alleviate the mass suffering of the Liberian people come 2023.
Cummings said Liberia is in dire need of its best brains and talents to repair the country’s broken pieces, restore basic social service, and lift the vast majority out of extreme poverty.
He made the plea during a community engagement with hundreds of residents of the Nat Ballah Community, District 4, Montserrado County, who complained of years of government neglect.
The Nat Ballah and River Cross Estate community in Soul Clinic is a swamp-slum community, within District 4 with an estimated 33,000 registered voters. Its residents complained of growing insecurity, lack of electricity, schools, health care services and deplorable road conditions.
District 4 is said to be densely populated, with combined registered voters of 72, 0000 in Montserrado County according to several community leaders, who attended and spoke at the meeting with the CPP Standard Bearer, on Saturday, August 27, 2022.
Earlier, 10 community leaders and elders on behalf of the residents accorded the CPP Standard Bearer, a traditional welcome, with kola nuts and later gowned him, with pledge of support for his Presidential bid in 2023.
Cummings decried the high level corruption in President George Weah’s government, which he said has robbed the people of better life and deprived the vast majority of basic social services including electricity, safe drinking water, better schools and health care service nationwide.
The CPP Standard Bearer assured that with his election as President, Liberia will certainly experience major transformations in the living conditions of the Liberian people.
He called for sober reflection on the part of all Liberians to resist the temptations of re-electing corrupt and incompetent leaders who will only deepen the suffering of the vast majority and subject them to extreme poverty.
