Monrovia – The Standard Bearer of the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), former President George Manneh Weah, has announced the establishment of a special committee to spearhead the construction of a new CDC National Headquarters.
The CDC National Headquarters Construction Committee will be chaired by Former House Speaker Cllr. J. Fonati Koffa, with former Minister of State Nathaniel F. McGill serving as Co-Chairman. Ambassador Dee-Maxwell Saah Kemayah, Sr., will act as Advisor, while Hon. Eugene Lenn Nagbe takes on the role of General Coordinator.
Other members of the committee include Madam Yvette Freeman, Mr. Quiwu Pepci Yeke, Mr. John Youbuty (Treasurer), Dr. Marie Scott-Wilson, Mr. Kyne Oliver Kyne, Madam Ruth Cooker Collins (Technical Advisor), Mr. Yayah T. Sheriff, Famatta Wesseh (Secretary), Mr. Emmanuel T. Swen, Cllr. Garrison Yealu, Jurah A. M. Sanoe, Mr. Roosevelt Johnson Jr., Mr. Michael Andrew Massaquoi, Mamina Carr Gaye (Youth League), Sriyah Musu Isodjee (Women’s League), Isaac Doe, Samuel A. Wlue, Manneh George, Ariminty Tubman, and Abraham Askie.
Weah has mandated the committee to establish sub-committees where necessary and to work collaboratively to ensure delivery of the new party headquarters within one year.
The former President disclosed that the project is already receiving goodwill and support from partisans and sympathizers, especially in the wake of what the CDC describes as a “politically motivated action” against its current headquarters. To ensure accountability, a designated bank account will be opened and made public, with multiple payment methods available for contributions.
Meanwhile, CDC Chairman Janga Augustus Kowo has been instructed to convene a press conference to address what the party terms the “disastrous invasion” of its headquarters by the government, the alleged illegal abduction of some partisans, and the ongoing legal challenges before Liberian courts.
The CDC says it remains committed to rebuilding and strengthening its institution despite recent challenges.
