Liberia: Justice Ministry Sends Response to CPP's Cummings Over Violence Complaints

Monrovia — In a statement addressed to the leader of the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP), Alexander Cummings, the Ministry of Justice has indicated that the politician would file complaints related to violence against persons within his political establishment but would show non-cooperative posture with authorities during official investigations despite being cited.

The series of complaints relate to the July 30, 2020 violence in Zwedru against Rep. Yekeh Kolubah, who was member of Cummings' delegation to the Southeast; the electoral violence that occurred on November 16, 2018 in Montserrado District #13 involving Madam Cornelia Kruah-Togba of the Unity Party and the members of the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC); the one in District #15 on August 15, 2019, involving Ms. Telia Urey of the All Liberian Party and Abu Kamara of the CDC, as well as the other incident in District #10 on January 20, 2019 when Rep. Yekeh Kolubah hosted a children's party.
