CDC Press Issues Release regarding Deputy Speaker incident

(Monday July 12, 2010) - The Congress for Democratic Change CDC commends Justice Minister Christiana Tah, House Speaker Alex Tyler and other Officials of Government for cooperating with the Party’s Leadership to ensure that the situation at the residence of House Deputy Speaker Tokpah Mulbah on Sunday, July 11, did not deteriorate.

The CDC as a mass based Party which supports the rule of law, condemns the brutal assault on Policeman Lexington Beah, and calls for those who allegedly committed this act to be made to face the consequence of their action in keeping with law.

The CDC encourages Deputy Speaker Tokpah Mulbah to continue to cooperate with the police as they carry out investigation into the incident.

The CDC hereby warns all detractors to abandon their futile efforts of seeking to use this unfortunate incident to besmear the image of the Party and allow the Police to conduct a fair and impartial investigation.

Meanwhile, officials of the party have contacted the family of officer Beah and expressed concerns for the wellbeing of their relative.

The CDC again assures citizens, residents, and our international counterparts, alike, of its commitment to the sustenance of peace security, and the rule of law in Liberia. The party therefore urges all of its partisans and sympathizers to observe its core values of peace, stability and justice for all.
