The Former ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) has criticized ruling Unity Party’s first hundred days in office, labeling it a “fiasco” and a “colossal failure” marked by lies, poor performance, deception, and division.
According to the CDC, the stark realities of Liberia’s current socio-economic conditions paint a grim picture of the government’s ineffectiveness.
“Despite pledging to allocate US$23,488,543.00 of taxpayers’ money towards various projects and programs, the government only managed to achieve a dismal 0.0035% of its objectives”
The political institution said out of the government’s 67 routine targets for the hundred days, only 12 were accomplished, representing a mere 18%. Shockingly, CDC pointed out that 38 targets were left unmet, accounting for 58% of failures, while 17 projects remain incomplete, constituting 24% of the total.
The damning assessment according to CDC is further exacerbated by the visible signs of failure evident on the streets and in every corner of the country.
The Coalition for Democratic Change indicated the cost of living has soared, with the price of a 25kg bag of rice increasing by LD$300 and the cost of a dollar GSM card and voice and data bundles also on the rise.
CDC hilighted skyrocketing price of gasoline, which now stands at $1000.00LD per gallon, is particularly egregious, representing an increase of over LD$200 compared to pre-hundred days prices.
The party believes the exorbitant cost has placed an unbearable burden on Liberian citizens, further exacerbating their already dire economic situation.
The Coalition for Democratic Change assessment serves as a stark reminder of the government’s failure to deliver on its promises and underscores the urgent need for accountability and effective governance.
As citizens continue to grapple with the harsh realities of daily life, they deserve leadership that prioritizes their well-being and addresses their pressing needs.
The recently ousted party asserts that anything short of this would not only fail the people of Liberia but also betray their aspirations for a brighter tomorrow.
