Dillion Na Leh Kruah…
“. . . his hatred for Min. Kruah has eroded him of the title: Light to antagonist, but against one person,” a civil society actor.
Montesrrado County Senator Abraham Darius Dillion’s ‘envy’ for Labor Minister Cooper Kruah has now reached the point of public concerns.
Some Liberians are now of the view that Sen. Dillion na leh Papay Kruah seh.
As such, some civil society actors have weighed in with their angers and disagreements with Dillion, who is being described as “antagonist” to Min. Kruah.
Though, not a member on the Senate Committee on Labor, neither knowledgeable of the sector in any form or manner, Dillion’s daily dizzy of Kruah is nothing, but to intentionally attack him; a situation, those with vast experience on the sector consider, “personal attack without any substance.”
Grand Gedeh County Senator Yahyah Nimely chairs the Senate Committee on Labor, not Dillion.
One political commentator, who has been following Dillion’s outburst against Kruah, told this newspaper on the condition of anonymity that: “Dillion goes in public, ill-informed, to denigrate, but has never visited the Ministry of Labor to proffer the way forward on his perceived controversial work permits or any labor-related issues.”
Yet, the commentator continues: “Dillion is constantly in the media speaking as though he has a hand on the understanding of happenings at the ministry.”
“We’re dumbfounded as to what Dillion wants; a campaign footstool?” another actor remarked.
Two other civil society actors added: “Payments for work permits are not done at the ministry, rather at the Liberia Revenue Authority.”
On this, the actors want to know what’s Dillion point of inciting the public against the minister.
Political history
Sen. Dillion is a top member of the governing Unity Party (UP), while Min. Kruah chairs the opposition Movement for Democracy and Reconstruction (MDR); a collaborating partner of the ruling establishment.
On the contrary, Dillion has not been constructive in his attack on Kruah, aimlessly put him to negative public opinions.
Dillion accused
Meanwhile, Dillion has come under intense criticism from the Civil Society Consortium for “his divisive scheme to break down the UP-Alliance Government.”
A group of leading civil society and Pro-democracy Organizations, under the banner: ‘Consortium of Pro-democracy Organizations of Liberia (COPOL), strongly accused Dillon of “sinister maneuvers to break down the current UP Alliance Rescue Mission Government.
The Civil Society Consortium, in a press statement released in Monrovia over the weekend, listed several glaring counts linking Dillon to a “deep motive to fracture the UP-Alliance Government.”
COPOL expressed disdain, specifically Dillion of “consistent, baseless and unfounded accusations of work permit, and job sales to foreigners.”
The joint statement released by the COPOL, condemned Dillon for not backing his all several breaches of his own pre-campaign promises over seven years ago, including not riding an official assigned vehicle that would cost over US$40,000, “vehement rejection of commercial flight, provision of half his monthly salaries and benefits to the development initiatives of Montserrado County.”
