The Alternative National Congress has tossed a shade on former Vice President Joseph Boakai of the Unity Party's failure to resolve the crisis in the defunct Collaborating Political Party as promised. The ANC, which is headed by Alexander Cummings, has jibed Boakai for remarking that the Unity Party withdrew from the CPP due to Cummings' failure to attend meetings intended to resolve the impasse.

He added that Cummings, however, failed to show up for the first meeting with the Committee.

Captan said while the public corporate sector provides employment opportunities and public services, most times the opportunities are scarce and are usually vis-a-vis high in demand, but only the most privileged on political purpose benefit.

The House had earlier passed the Third Amended MDA, with its own set of recommendations, and forwarded the same to the Senate for concurrence. Key among the House’s recommendations was to strip from the AML revised MDA any exclusive right by the concessionaire to the Yekepa to Buchanan rail and port infrastructure.
