The opposition Alternative National Congress of Alexander B. Cummings and the Movement for Progressive Change of businessman Simeon Freeman, have collectively slammed President Joseph N. Boakai's recent suspension of tenured government officials.
In response to the Supreme Court ruling, President Boakai suspended Edwina C. Zackpah, Israel Akinsanya, Zotawon D. Titus, James Gbarwea, and Osborne K. Diggs, Chairperson and Commissioners of the LTA, citing allegations of questionable financial transactions and malpractices. Reading a statement on behalf of the two parties, MPC Political Leader Simeon Freeman said failure to do so not only disrespects the judicial branch of the government but also signals a dangerous departure from democratic norms.
He emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law and respecting the judiciary's authority, especially in light of recent Supreme Court directives. The ANC and MPC stressed their commitment to challenging such actions, legally and politically, to safeguard democracy and justice.
