The People’s Liberation Party (PLP) says greedy and failed politicians in Liberia are bent on sponsoring ‘mere propaganda.’
For the first time in reaction to the indictment of its leader in the United States, the PLP clarified that their leader has never stolen the country’s resources nor has he been involved in past atrocious civil wars or committed any crime in Liberia.
Last week, both the traditional and social media reported that Cassell and others were formally indicted by the Grand Jury of New Jersey based mental health, behavioral, and substance abuse agencies, Kwenyan Professional Health Services, LLC and Kwenyan and Associates’ Chief Executive Officer, Daniel Cassell.
However, the PLP described the publications as “propaganda” orchestrated by some wicked and failed politicians in Liberia who remain uncompromised and committed to keeping the country and its citizens underdeveloped and living in abject poverty.
The party maintained that the indictment is not a guilty verdict, but a process of proceeding to trial and as such, its vision bearer, Dr. Cassell remains innocent until proven guilty in a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States.”
PLP stated that the accusations levied against its their leader remain “doctored allegations” that can only be proven through the presentation of hard facts or substantive evidences during court hearing or procedures and not by “hear say” or the smear campaign being initiated by these failed and greedy politicians.
The party said there are those who want to see Liberians die in perpetual economic hardship and poverty in the midst of the current administration plundering our country’s resources on their respective family members who are flagrantly flaunting their wealth in the eyes of the impoverished masses.
It added that given the recent waves of political propaganda, it continues to wonder why a case involving a company registered and fully operating in the United States has gained so much national attention and is now being used as a conduit to get at their party and its standard bearer.
It pointed out that the party is not moved or deterred by the growing wave of political propaganda being intentionally targeted at its standard bearer, Cassell and the party in particular ahead of the 2023 general and presidential elections.
“We remain focused, determined and dedicated to building cells by consistently engaging our fellow citizens throughout the length and breadth of our country, and intervening to resolve the mountainous aged-old problems that they are faced with,” the party noted.
As evidenced by this, the party emphasized that it continues to help transform and improve the living conditions of Liberians, through the provision of empowerment opportunities to women, girls, less fortunate, under privileged, disadvantaged youths and physically challenged, rehabilitation and construction of roads, bridges and market buildings, affordable transportation service, scholarship opportunities to hundreds of students from grade to university levels, free medical service and payment of medical bills, provision of jobs to hundreds of Liberians, among others since it was certificated by the National Elections Commission (NEC) in December 2020,.
However, the party has expressed confidence and optimism that Dr. Cassell will be fully exonerated at the climax of the legal process.
The party emphasized that it remains hopeful and steadfast that Cassell will also return to Liberia in the soonest possible time to continue his crusade to liberate Liberia and its citizens from bad governance, segregation, deprivation, corruption, and other vices and societal ills that have kept them backward for several decades.
The party, however, called on its partisans, supporters and the Liberian people in general, not to be carried away by these well calculated political ploys and deceptions which are intended to discourage them from joining the liberation train and cast their votes in favor of their standard bearer comes 2023.
