“. . . CDC officials were focused on amassing wealth for themselves, while the former President presided over the mass looting of the state,” Daniel Sando.
Government has outrightly rejected the way former President George Weah, characterized (portrayed) members of the Unity Party-led government as “charlatans and mountebanks.”
Deputy Information Minister Daniel O. Sando, said such characterization better fits Pres. Weah, and his former officials, who, he said, were voted out by the Liberian people.
On the former President’s verbal errors, Sando explained that a “mountebank is a person, who deceives others, while a charlatan, is someone, who pretends to have knowledge or skills they do not possess.
He said, based on those definitions, it is clear that the characterization matches the erstwhile ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) government, then headed by Mr. Weah.
Sando added that despite having the confidence of ordinary citizens, which brought the CDC to power, “the party deceived the people.”
He said CDC officials were mainly focused on amassing wealth for themselves, while the former President himself presided over the mass looting of the state.
“The nation has not forgotten how this former President (Mr. Weah) presided over the mass looting of the country,” Sando repeatedly said.
“Also, under the leadership of Mr. Weah, his foreign minister, D. Maxwell Kemenyan, was clearing his name from sexual-related offenses in America. On the contrary, our current foreign minister, Madam Sara Nyanti, is engaging our strategic partners in the U.S. to bring development programs back home.”
