The Progressive Youth for the Transformation of the ruling Unity Party has taken exception to statements, which they claimed was made by Cllr. Charles Walker Brumskine of the Liberty Party that the Unity Party led government should be blamed for the high cost of prices on the market.
The UP youth group, in a statement issued on Monday and signed by its spokesperson, described the assertions of the LP flag bearer as "deceitful and misleading."
The group said the government can not be blamed because anyone who has followed the trend of development unfolding across the world, would agreed that there have been a steady increase in the prices of basic commodities such as rice.
According to the group, this increment in the prices of basic commodities is beyond the control of the government or any third world country for that matter.
The UP youth group added in the statement that major producers of rice on the market such as Thailand, India and China, have decided to curtail the exportation of rice due to the increasing demand for the commodity in their countries.

The group noted also that the price of oil has increased steadily for the past months from US$80 per barrel to US$117 per barrel, something, which the group noted has also affected the market prices in Liberia.
They wonder whether Cllr. Brumskine is not aware of these facts for which he is accusing the government. They also wonder whether Cllr. Brumskine wants to ferment confusion or he is just making these claims to mislead the Liberian people.
Meanwhile, the youth group is calling on all Liberians in and out of the country to join hands with the UP government in its endeavor to bring about rapid development to the nation.
