Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>A Pro-Boakai movement, Southeastern Alliance for President-elect Joseph Nyumah Boakai, vows to resist appointment of corrupt individuals in the incoming Unity Party-led government.<\/p>\n

The group\u2019s comment is in reaction to a purported list published recently, containing names of individuals that are expected to be appointed to key positions in the new government.<\/p>\n

President-elect Boakai and Vice President-elect Jeremiah Kpan Koung will be officially inaugurated on 22nd January 2024 to commence work.<\/p>\n

But, addressing a news conference Tuesday, 9th January in Monrovia, Chairperson Watson Chelley, said they have learned that some individuals that were accused and indicted by previous administration, are parading the corridor and holding meetings, seeking appointment in the Boakai-Koung administration.<\/p>\n

He cautions that President-elect Boakai might land wrongly if thorough examination is not done to ascertain whether those being vetted are free of corruption.<\/p>\n

He notes that a government that promises transparency and accountability to the Liberian people should be prepared to do the right things and avoid early mistakes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe the Southeastern Alliance for the election of Amb. Boakai-Koung are calling on the Unity Party government to do away with the appointment of individuals accused or indicted in the past for acts of corruption. Anything contrary to what the UP promised during the election, we want to make it categorically clear that we will resist corrupt individuals who may be appointed in the coming days\u201d, he warns.<\/p>\n

Chelley continues that they are receiving unconfirmed information that former Grand Gedeh Superintendent, Christopher Bailey, is poised to be appointed as deputy minister for operations at the ministry of Internal Affairs.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, he says their understanding is, Christopher Bailey was once indicted by the Unity Party government in 2011, for alleged corruption, and the case was to be heard in Margibi County.<\/p>\n

According to him, the case is still in court, so appointing him means that the Boakai administration is not ready to bring any significant changes to the country\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n

Chelley notes that the Unity Party\u2019s campaign focused on mitigating corruption therefore, it must desist from appointing people who have been accused or indicted for stealing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Southeastern Alliance in support of Unity Party does not support any act of corruption, as such we are resolved that the group will be drastic on the government about their actions mainly putting people into key positions. Though we supported the Unity Party against CDC, it does not mean we will not hold them accountable for some of the mistakes that may emerge\u201d, he says.<\/p>\n
