Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Collaborating Political Parties (CPP), Standard Bearer Mr. Alexander Cummings continues to make big promises ahead of the October 10 polls saying, he would create a new future of hope for Liberians when elected president.<\/p>\n

The former Coca-Cola Executive who planned to announce his running mate on May 27, promised to provide citizens access to modern medical facilities, better educational system, and thriving economy that will create massive jobs to alleviate extreme suffering.<\/p>\n

Speaking following his retention as Standard Bearer of the CPP at its just ended convention in Ganta City, Nimba County, Cummings further promised to fix what he said the ruling CDC has destroyed, noting that Liberia is too rich for so many to be jobless, beggars and hopeless, and for too many families to go to bed hungry.<\/p>\n

Charlene<\/p>\n

The CPP Standard Bearer said children who could run for president, or become doctors, engineers, teachers, or lawyers are dying of preventable diseases because their parents can not afford the cost of hospital registration to treat them.<\/p>\n

He said while hospitals and schools lacked adequate funding, President Weah and his Vice President, President Pro-Temp, Speaker, and Deputy Speaker are giving themselves huge budgetary allocations.<\/p>\n

Cummings said this is not just wrong, but sheer wickedness, which he will change upon his ascendancy as President come October 10.<\/p>\n

Cummings stated that the CPP\u2019s mission will be to right the wrong and fix the broken and corrupt system that continues to cause the death of too many children and loved ones, without fulfilling their dreams and potential. He said Liberians are suffering and unable to feed themselves not because the country is poor, but because the leaders are corrupt, wicked, selfish, and lack vision.<\/p>\n

According to him, the presidency is not just powerful, but has a humble responsibility to set<\/p>\n

good examples, demand higher standards for stewardship and deliver on promises<\/p>\n

to the people. He said, \u201cThe presidency is responsible to fix the broken, corrupt and discredited system that continues to keep Liberians poor.\u201d<\/p>\n

He explained that the presidency also has a responsibility to unite and lead the people to a better,<\/p>\n

secure, peaceful, and more prosperous future, as well as restore the country\u2019s<\/p>\n

lost respect and dignity amongst the comity of nations.<\/p>\n

The former Coca-Cola Executive turned politician said the play-play presidency of Mr. Weah<\/p>\n

has to stop if the lives of Liberians will improve. He emphasized that while \u201cit\u2019s ok to have a President that sings and dances when you spend too much time singing and dancing, then we need to move you from the mansion to a studio where you actually belong.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cummings said the presidency is not an office for retirement, warning that to elect a president who will not work amounts to putting Liberia on pause, which will deny the already suffering masses the needed help to improve their living conditions. \u201cPutting the country on pause will stop serious investors from coming to create high-paying jobs for Liberians and If we re-elect a play-play president or we choose to pause Liberia\u2019s future, it will surely worsen the hardship,\u201d Cummings warned.<\/p>\n

He expressed optimism that upon his election in October, starting next January, he will work assiduously to institute real change through hard work, honesty, integrity and principled leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will change store boys into store owners, raise waiter markets to shops, transform shops into stores, graduate yana boys and yana girls to business leaders, and will give Liberian businesses, especially women\u2019s businesses, the chance and resources needed to succeed,\u201d Cummings said.<\/p>\n

He also promised to change the hopelessness and lawlessness of today into hopefulness and<\/p>\n

lawfulness, and significantly reduce the unprecedentedly high unemployment rate in Liberia.<\/p>\n

Cummings wonders why the CDC government will cut and reduce civil servants\u2019 salaries in the face of the worsening economic conditions and rising cost of living.<\/p>\n

The CPP Standard Bearer promised to lead Liberia differently, accountably and honestly to a new future of equality and prosperity for all.<\/p>\n

He said grieving over the difficult economic challenges will not change the hopelessness of the suffering masses, but rather, the grief must move Liberians to not just change mindsets, or political parties, but to also change the country\u2019s governing principles.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone culpable of stealing public resources, irrespective of status or position must face the full force of the law and consequences, without hesitation,\u201d Cummings said.<\/p>\n

He stated that unless there is robust enforcement of the law, corruption and stealing of public resources will deprive and prevent public institutions, including hospitals, from effectively performing their statutory functions to the detriment of ordinary families who can\u2019t afford to travel abroad for treatment.<\/p>\n

While thanking the CPP leadership and members for their confidence and trust reposed in him to lead the CPP, Cummings vowed not to disappoint Liberians or lower the standard and values of the CPP, assuring that together, \u201cwe will march to victory in October, and we will change Liberia for the better,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The weekend convention was the first of the CPP and was presided over by Liberty Party Chairman Musa Bility.<\/p>\n

It brought together over 500 delegates from the 15 counties of Liberia, as well as from the United States of America, Canada and other parts of the world.<\/p>\n

Several CPP stalwarts including Nimba County Representative Larry Yonquoi, and Grand Bassa County Representative Aspirant Charlene Brumskine made special remarks of affirmations of support for the objectives and goals including the Presidential bid of Mr. Alexander Cummings.<\/p>\n

The convention was preceded by a street parade in Gompa City, Nimba County, by thousands of partisans, supporters and sympathizers of the Collaborating Political Parties compromising the Alternative National Congress, the Liberty Party and other political affiliates and interest groups.<\/p>\n
