Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>With several of its top officials placed on U.S. sanctions for acts of corruption and human rights abuses, Liberia\u2019s former ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) feels threatened by assets recovery efforts initiated by President Joseph Nyumah Boakai.<\/p>\n

President Joseph Nyumah Boakai\u2019s newly established Asset Recovery Team has put officials of the former ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) in panic, with some loosely suggesting non-cooperation.<\/p>\n

One of the CDC\u2019s ring leaders in a purported plot to resist asset recovery efforts is Jefferson Koijee, the immediate past mayor of Monrovia during the CDC\u2019s six-year rule.<\/p>\n

Koijee has been leading the campaign to resist actions he termed inappropriate and illegal against former government officials.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe like to inform Mr. Boakai that no member of the CDC will subject themselves to that so-called asset recovery task force,\u201d he said over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Mr. Koijee, the CDC\u2019s National Secretary General, believes that any attempt to probe alleged acts of corruption committed in the CDC administration is a witch hunt.<\/p>\n

During its administration, the CDC, led by former President George Manneh Weah, refused to correct the alleged wrongs that it claimed existed during the 12-year rule of its predecessor, Madam Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf.<\/p>\n

While the CDC installed its new party chairman, Mr. Janga Kowo, on Friday, 15 March 2024, in Oldest Congo, Koijee used the occasion to announce the CDC officials\u2019 plan does not avail themselves to the asset recovery team.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat you term as an asset recovery is total nonsense because those you line up to do that job have fallen short of everything,\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n

Koijee said President Boakai and his government must focus on the task given to them. He did not say how asset recovery does not include the government\u2019s task but insisted that past CDC officials should not be deterred by asset recovery.<\/p>\n

He further told CDCians working in the Boakai-led administration to have no fear because the government is not Boakai\u2019s agency.<\/p>\n

He alleged that the new government is witch-hunting CDCians, thereby urging it to desist from witch-hunting his partisans.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you think you can harm our people you end up becoming the collateral damage,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernment is not Mr. Boakai\u2019s enterprise, and as such, none of you, his officials, should dare try to go after our people,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t push us. We have what it takes to make you feel uncomfortable. Any attempt to deny President Weah\u2019s request to provide him security we ourselves will protect him,\u201d Koijee noted.<\/p>\n

While the CDC insists that it will not submit to the asset recovery team, it said it was extolling the government through the Legislature for passing a resolution to establish a War and Economic Crimes Court.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the CDC appointed Janga Augustus Kowo as the new party chairman following Mr. Mulbah Morlu\u2019s recent resignation.<\/p>\n

Kowo\u2019s leadership role within the party signifies a new chapter in the CDC\u2019s ongoing efforts to strengthen its structure.<\/p>\n
