Monrovia – Jefferson Koijee, Secretary General of the opposition Congress for Democratic Change (CDC), has launched a scathing attack on Montserrado County Senator Darius Dillon, accusing him of betraying the trust of his constituents and engaging in lavish spending while ignoring the plight of ordinary Liberians. This, according to Koijee, makes the Montserrado County Senator “a monument of deception”.

In a Facebook post on Monday, Koijee questioned Dillon’s self-proclaimed image as “Mr. Light,” an advocate for transparency and honesty, alleging that the senator had used this persona to deceive both Montserrado residents and members of the Liberian diaspora. Koijee accused Dillon of engaging in “outrageous transactions” as Chair of the Senate’s Foreign Affairs Committee, stating that his actions now reflect a sharp contrast to the populist stance he once took.

“Yesterday, when he wasn’t in leadership, he made it appear as if he had the people’s interest at heart,” Koijee wrote, “but today, there’s a 20 million budgetary alteration, 15 million off-budget expenditure, 150K allocated for each senator, and a US$45K car, again amongst others.”

The CDC official further criticized Dillon for remaining silent on key issues, including a $100,000 credit card allegedly held by Unity Party (UP) presidential candidate Joseph Boakai. Koijee claimed Boakai and Dillon have turned a blind eye to the suffering of civil servants, the lack of critical medical equipment at JFK Hospital, and the unaffordable school fees for many Liberians.

Koijee also called out Dillon for allegedly flying business class during his travels, which he claims contradicts Dillon’s earlier statements that such luxuries would “shame his mom” and his constituents. “Today, as of now, he flew business class to New York,” Koijee added, accusing the senator of normalizing the behavior since trips to South Korea and China.

The Facebook post reflected Koijee’s larger argument that Dillon’s leadership has failed to address Liberia’s economic challenges, which the senator previously criticized as putting the country’s economy in the “toilet.” Koijee emphasized that, under Dillon’s leadership, the Senate’s budget for 103 individuals stands at US$58 million, a figure he deems unacceptable given the dire conditions faced by many Liberians.

“Dillon is a mistake that must be corrected; he has shamed everyone who brought him here,” Koijee concluded, urging Liberians to reject what he described as Dillon’s empty rhetoric and political showmanship.

Senator Dillon, a vocal critic of government corruption, has yet to respond to Koijee’s accusations.

President Joseph Nyuma Boakai has unveiled plans to establish Liberia’s first embassy in Canada since the 1980s, marking a significant milestone in strengthening diplomatic ties between the two nations.

Speaking at the Liberia Investment Forum 2024 in Toronto on Thursday, President Boakai noted that Liberia has lacked an official presence in Canada for over four decades. He assured attendees that the government is committed to bridging this gap by 2025.

The President highlighted that this initiative responds to requests from the Liberian community in Canada, which numbers around 30,000. This move is part of Liberia’s broader strategy to deepen economic and diplomatic partnerships with Canada.

According to President Boakai, the Trade and Investment Office in Mississauga was the initial step, and establishing an embassy will further enhance Liberia’s connections and promote mutual prosperity.

This announcement comes as Liberia seeks to enhance its global engagement and attract Canadian investment in sectors such as energy, mining, and agriculture.

Samuel D. Tweah Jr., Liberia’s former Finance Minister, surrendered to Criminal Court ‘C’ on Wednesday morning after arriving in the country Tuesday night. Tweah, along with ex-National Security Advisor Jefferson Karmoh and former Solicitor General Cllr. Nyanti Tuan, faces multiple charges, including economic sabotage, fraud, and criminal conspiracy. Following his surrender, the court granted Tweah an $8 million bail, setting his trial for November 12.

These indictments stem from an investigation by the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) which has accused the former officials of orchestrating a scheme that diverted over L$1 billion and US$500,000 from the Financial Intelligence Agency (FIA). These funds, meant for national security and financial oversight, reportedly disappeared under dubious circumstances between September 8 and 21, 2023.

The LACC’s investigations revealed that Tweah allegedly authorized these hefty transfers without proper approval from Liberia’s National Joint Security or the National Security Council. The LACC stated that there was no documented need or request for these funds, raising questions about the legality of the transactions.

Once transferred, the funds quickly vanished with withdrawals made by D. Moses P. Cooper, then Acting Financial Controller of the FIA. According to court documents, nearly all the transferred funds were withdrawn in just over a month, leaving a mere L$7,500 in the account.

The LACC further revealed that Cllr. Tuan, then acting as Minister of Justice, was aware of the transferred funds but failed to provide records on their usage. Despite his written instructions to release the funds upon their deposit, no further documentary evidence of their intended use has been uncovered.

The administrators of the late Martha Stubblefield Bernard’s estate, led by Mr. Ebrima V. Dempster, are calling on the Liberian government to enforce a Supreme Court order to evict the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) from the property that has housed its national headquarters for nearly two decades.

In a press release issued on Monday, the estate urged immediate government intervention to uphold the rule of law.

“The Intestate Estate of Martha Stubblefield Bernard is therefore appealing to the Government of the Republic of Liberia through the Ministry of Justice and the Liberian National Police to provide police protection to the Sheriff of the Civil Law Court for the eviction of the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) in keeping with the mandate of the Supreme Court of Liberia,” the release states. “Our property is more than just land and a building; it symbolizes the legacy of peace, unity, and development that should be preserved, not undermined.”

The estate administrators, headed by Mr. Ebrima V. Dempster, disclosed that the Liberia National Police has reneged on providing the necessary police support to enforce the repossession of the property. They noted that on August 19, the Civil Law Court wrote to the Inspector General of Police, Col. Gregory Coleman, to provide police support; however, the court’s communication has yet to be adhered to by the Inspector General, they alleged.

The administrators also called on the CDC “to honor, respect, and abide by the mandate of the Supreme Court of Liberia if it is truly, as it professes to be, a law-abiding entity.”

Speaking on Spoon Talk, Mr. Dempster said the CDC and the administrators have had no lease agreement since the Supreme Court’s ruling in 2017. He said the party, through Cllr. Musa Dean, negotiated with him to allow them to occupy the property for six months after which they would have entered into a full agreement.

“After the six months, they did not get back to me, and when I tried to contact them, I couldn’t. The six months ended three months after the elections. The reason why we gave the six months was because the elections were three months ahead and we thought it wasn’t wise to evict the CDC from the property at that time when they had just won the elections,” he explained.

According to him, he was hoping to meet with the CDC to propose rent or listen to their intentions. He said the CDC only began having talks with him concerning the property after it lost the 2023 elections. He explained that when the CDC began to engage him wanting to buy the property, he reminded them that they had been occupying the property for six years without making any payment on it, therefore, further discussion with him regarding the property would only be after arrears are paid.

He said about four months ago, the CDC made the payment of arrears for the last six years. However, he disclosed that the party still owes him rent arrears of almost a year.

In response to the estate’s push for enforcement, CDC Chairman Jangar Kowo addressed the media, asserting that the eviction proceedings are politically motivated and reaffirming the party’s commitment to legal processes. “We have consistently met our financial obligations by paying rent to the Bernard family, the legitimate administrators of Martha Stubblefield Bernard’s estate,” Kowo told journalists at the Temple of Justice.

Further complicating the issue, Alvin Wesseh, Chair of the CDC’s National Youth League, claimed to have gathered sensitive information about alleged plans by the Unity Party-led government to misuse legal avenues as a political weapon against the CDC. “This is a calculated attempt to destabilize our party using the judiciary as a tool, but we are prepared to resist these actions politically,” Wesseh stated during a news conference.

CDC Secretary General Jefferson Koijee also vocalized strong opposition, indicating the party’s readiness to defy the eviction. “We will not be moved from our headquarters, and we call on all CDCians and supporters to stand firm against this unwarranted attack on our party,” Koijee said in a statement that echoed through social media and party ranks.
