“Boima Says The Realities; Hope The President Will Take Heed”, Some CDCiens React To Boima JV Boima Post on Facebook

Monrovia- Many die-hard CDCiens have agreed and thanks deputy managing director for Rural broadcasting of Liberia Broadcasting system, Boima JV Boima with this point: “We now run our government on the basis of friendship and “who know u system.” Qualified CDcians who suffered with u for years are been ignored to appeas friends”.

Calling on a local radio talk show when the post was read, most of the CDCIENS who phoned in, agreed and say it’s a reality that Mr. Boima has pointed out for most of them who are afraid to speak in the public. Among those that called, was one of the members of the president Weah Pro-poor Agenda defender, ( A group of young supporters of the CDC, who called daily to defend the president and the government policies on various radio stations) Reuben Kanneh.

Mr. Kanneh who normally called from Gardnerville, told the local radio talk show, that some of them who struggle with the party are not benefiting from the party. He said, “how can we convince people to vote for the CDC, when we that campaign for president Weah to become president is still catching hard time”. He also said president Weah needs to put his feet down now for his die-hard supporters so that can feel the impact of their government.

Mr. Boima post which went viral on social media, had many people thanking and praising him for saying the realities; while few had problem with him for coming in the public.

Here is Boima VJ Boima post below:

To admit, I didn’t sleep last night. I struggled between sleep and wake all through last night. I was on the streets talking to people and compiling results to know whether we won the elections. Indeed the results are not what we all opted for. I for instance wanted a result that could have given us a commanding victory. Not a slim margin. Yes, we must not be struggling to win here in this county. This is where our party started winning polls. This is where the revolution that ushered the people’s struggle was signed and sealed. I am still convinced that our two candidates would win..But to be frank, we should not be struggling for a victory in this county at this early stage of our Presidency. We came to power on a populist idealogy. We made so many promises to our people that we have not live to fulfil up till now. Majority of our people who struggled with us in the slums are yet to be given better jobs or even empowered by their own government to start a better life. Yes, this was a revolution, our people did not struggle to become beggars. The results seen out there is as a result of an internal revolt. Majority of our once zealots supporters have gone sour. They are not happy at all. They are not happy with us Mr. President. Majority of those who voted for Dillion are our own very CDCians. Some didn’t even turn up to vote. Those who chose or opted to, went against us. Their message is clear; “look into our direction now too.” I know people would advise u to dismiss me. I will not die. I didn’t die yesterday. I wouldn’t die today ig Mr. President u have the power to do so. But its better i say this now than pretend and leave with a negative consequences for ever. Even after this struggle some lf us had to beg on our bellies to get the jobs that we have today. Some of our colleagues are stil been marginalized at some of the agencies they were appointed to work. While others including myself hardly get paid for work. We basically live on credits. We dig hole and cover hole every month to survive. How do u expect us to connect or “compare notes” with our brothers who have not been stratified in the communities? We now run our government on the basis of friendship and “who know u system.” Qualified CDcians who suffered with u for years are been ignored to appeas friends. Those friends are now in charge of our lucrative agencies. They are paid every months. Their gas slips comes regularly. But guess what? They don’t know the masses out there. They are not obligated to them. Those of us who know the masses and are supposed to reach out to them are mere hustlers in our own government. We beg from office ro office to survive. When we talk, you ignore us. In fact we are sometimes referred to as “spies.” Mr. President we love u. We want u to succeed but u are not paying attention to us. When last was a meeting held with all assistant ministers and deputies to know unfoldings across ministries and agencies? No way, in fact there is gag order that we must not talk. Its either silence or get fired. We must empower our own soldiers to fight for us. Give them lucrative jobs too Mr. President. Stop overlooking us. As a ruling party why shoukd we be struggling with resources? Why should we be struggling to get vehicles to campaig or money to pay pur poll watchers? Do u think we should really be struggling? Mr. President am still convinced that there are rooms for improvements if we all can recalibrate and go back to the drawing table to solve these problems. We must take these advise into high consideration…, Mr. Boima VJ Boima writes.
