Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The Group of 77th has staged a sit-in protest in demand of better livelihood at the entrance of the institution.<\/p>\n

On Monday, October 17, 2022, distressed members of the group set up roadblocks preventing movement on the main road.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are humans, not animals,\u201d said the aggrieved members who have gone on the road in their wheelchairs while the others used crutches to ensure their plight is heard.<\/p>\n

The protesters said they are living under appalling conditions at the institution that is a threat to their lives.<\/p>\n

The group said complained of the poor drainage system, and lack of vehicles coupled with several things confronted.<\/p>\n

They claimed the poor drainage system has caused flood and the water and trash from sonewein flow through the compound entering their rooms.<\/p>\n

\u201cWater entering our room and the whole building leaking, group of 77th\u201d<\/p>\n

According to them, a member who experienced shock died because there was no vehicle to take him to the hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur building when it rains the water can take over the place and no car because of that our older man died on Saturday,\u201d they stressed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The spokesman Charles Nimely said there were several representations made at the Ministry of Public Works till now nothing has been done.<\/p>\n

He vowed that they will continue to protest until Vice President Jewel Howard Taylor can get involved.<\/p>\n

The group of 77th is an institution charged with the responsibility to seek the welfare of people living with disability and it is headed by the Vice President.<\/p>\n
