On Friday, Rep. Kolubah accused Costa of receiving money from the government of President George Weah through the Minister of State for Presidential Affairs Nathaniel McGill to destabilize the opposition alliance. Kolubah is angry with me because I have been exposing his political leader Alexander Cummings for altering the framework document leaders of CPP signed. And because of his action Mr. Cummings has repeatedly refused to bring the original framework documents.”“I am not on a mission to disintegrate the opposition alliance as Rep. Kolubah claims. According to members of the CPP if leaders confine their disagreements to closed-door meetings, and resolve their differences with a flexible approach, perhaps the opposition alliance would be saved.

In fact, over the past few weeks, the fight has intensified over allegations of tampering with the Collaborative Framework Document of the four political parties. There should be no one on the defense, we are simply saying let Collaboration have a genuine approved document that represents us.

Tewroh-Wehtoe Sungbeh, [email protected], Contributing WriterBut deep down in his heart, Benoni Urey understands his influence and knows what he needs to do to be heard and taken seriously. As a celebrated bosom buddy of Charles Taylor, Benoni Urey allegedly played a key role in the procurement of arms. Instead, Benoni Urey decided to play blind, deaf, and arrogant. When a political leader who aspires to be President of Liberia ignores what is right just to be popular and be elected is not leadership.
