THE BELLYACHE BETWEEN Montserrado County Senator Saah Joseph and his former party; Coalition for Democratic Change, formerly known as Congress for Democratic Change continues to widen thus indicating what transpires when power changes hand.
SENATOR JOSEPH HAS won the Montserrado seat twice on the ticket of CDC and his first victory came into being when former President George Mannah Weah then Senator ascended to the presidency following the 2017 elections.
THE MONTSERRADO COUNTY Senator won the seat for the second time in 2023 and is expected to occupy the position up to 2032 before it is contested.
THE CONVOLUTION THAT has marred the previously cemented political alignment and allegiance which Senator Joseph has had with the CDC can now be seen as a turning point of politics.
THE STRAIN RELATIONSHIP has eclipsed so fast under the current Unity Party regime when Senator Joseph and former President George Mannah Weah decided going publicly gutter over political differences.
IN ORDER TO deepen the fray, Senator Joseph while attending an inspection by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai in Foya, Lofa County, of a controversial Mano River Union’s Center for Peace and Development project during the Charismas holiday, said: “I feel more safer in your gov’t than previous gov’t.”
IN OUR MIND, such assertion creates more questions than answers especially so when the Senator has been one of the admired CDC stalwarts but couldn’t voice out the insecurity he faced at the time.
NOW IN HIS home district Foya in the entourage of President Boakai, the Senator has bluntly declared that under his ( Boakai) government he (Joseph) feels safer than the previous government that is clearly understood to be the Weah government which he was a major player.
HOWBEIT, IT IS left with the public to deduce whether Senator Joseph has spoken his mind with sincerity, or he has pushed an agenda to strengthen his tribal connection since indeed he is no longer in the circle of the CDC.
