Africa-Press – Liberia. Cllr. Charlyne Brumskine has warned Liberians to think twice before voting on October 10 as the country stands at a crossroads.
Brumskine, who is running mate to the standard bearer of the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP), Alexander Cummings, noted that the country’s transformation is only possible if Liberians stop voting for corrupt leaders.
“To move forward in this country, it is imperative that Liberians break free from the cycle of electing leaders who have perpetuated corrupt practices,” Brumskine said at the opening of the Collaborating Political Party headquarters.
“You will be asked, when you were given the opportunity to change your country, to do better, what you did?” she asked. “Did you vote for corruption or did you vote for jobs? Did you vote for a bad school, or did you vote for a growing economy and better healthcare?”
Brumskine added that Liberia has over the years been plagued by corruption, as a result of the election of bad leaders, which has hindered the country’s progress and development for far too long.
If Liberians continue to vote corrupt leaders, they inadvertently endorse a system that perpetuates suffering and stifles progress, Brumskine said.
“It is essential for citizens to recognize their power as voters and demand accountability from those seeking public office.
“It is a new day for Liberia. God will give us one more opportunity to decide, and that decision is to vote Mr. Cummings and Cllr. Brumskine. We are the ones who can bring development, who can bring jobs, who can bring infrastructure, who will not be corrupt, who will not take your money and use it for ourselves,” Brumskine said to a huge crowd of voters over the weekend.
She also used the occasion, which was organized for the cutting of the ribbon to the Collaborating Political Party Montserrado County District 6 headquarters, to pitch a positive outlook for Martin Kollah’s legislative ambition.
“Sometimes the best leaders are not the ones all over, and as such, it will be good to vote [for] someone who has integrity like Martin Kollah.
“District #6, the choice is yours. I know what you can do, and I know what Mr. Cummings and I will do; we will leave it to you to decide whether you want better for yourself, your children, and our country, said Brumskine.
Kollah, in remarks, assured Brumskine that the people of his district are ready for a “wave of change and will vote for change.”
“The message is clear that the people of this district are ready to vote number four on the presidential ticket, and are ready to vote for the only female candidate in the Senate race, and we are ready to vote for me,” Kollah added.
