The Economic Freedom Fighters of Liberia (EFFL) have issued a strong response to recent statements made by the Coalition for Democratic Change’s Secretary General Jefferson Koijee regarding the assets recovery taskforce. EFFL affirmed its unwavering commitment to the establishment of the Assets Recovery and Property Retrieval Core Team under President Boakai’s leadership and expressed concerns about efforts to undermine their progress.
According to EFFL, there are certain political figures and individuals attempting to disrupt the functioning of the Assets Recovery and Property Retrieval Core Team. These individuals are using their association with former President Weah to thwart the efforts of the government and push Liberia back into dark times. EFFL is prepared to challenge this undemocratic mindset and move Liberia towards democracy, emphasizing their role in bringing the current government to power and their determination to protect it.
The political party categorically rejects any attempts to destabilize the work of the Assets Recovery and Property Retrieval Core Team, stating that such actions hinder efforts to recover stolen assets and pose a threat to Liberia’s stability and prosperity. They also accuse the CDC administration of intentionally looting the country and refusing to be held accountable for their actions, calling on the international community to take note of these concerning developments.
EFFL urges all stakeholders, both domestic and international, to support President Boakai’s administration in combating corruption, restoring accountability, and upholding justice. They call for vigilance in monitoring former President Weah’s actions, noting his apparent efforts to undermine the operations of the Assets Recovery and Property Core Team. Reports indicate that he is mobilizing gangs and former fighters to disrupt the team’s functioning, posing a serious threat to Liberia’s rule of law and stability.
EFFL emphasizes the importance of successful asset recovery and accountability for Liberia’s future, stating their willingness to work with the international community to ensure justice prevails. They stand against criminal elements seeking to plunder the nation’s resources and sow discord, advocating for unity in standing against those who bring war and chaos to Liberia.
In conclusion, the EFFL’s message is clear: they will not back down in their fight against corruption and for the rule of law in Liberia. They call on all stakeholders to support their efforts and unite against those who seek to undermine the country’s progress. By working together, they believe Liberia can overcome its past mistakes and build a brighter future for all its people.
