Monrovia, Liberia – The President of Liberia and Standard-bearer of the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), H.E. Dr. George Manneh Weah has expressed outrage over the disdainful act of casket totting carried out by a few members of the party.
Some CDCians on Saturday, August 5, were seen totting a casket during a religious event in Monrovia.
Commenting on the incident at a Service Sunday, President Weah warned against a repeat of such unprovoked act, describing it as unrepresentative of the Party’s values and credentials.
“I want to caution us going to these elections. We should know that we are the government, we are the ruling party. It is not the same as in 2005, 2011, and so on. We are to set the pace for a peaceful election, not provocation,” President Weah asserted.
The CDC political leader insisted that it is only important and advisable for the party to stick to its faith and belief in God, rather veering towards anything that is symbolic of Satan.
He reminded partisans that the CDC subscribes to the noble values of peace, democracy and national unity, warning against the reoccurrence of what had happened on the day commencing official campaign period.

“What happened during the religious event must never happen again,” he warned very sternly.
“The CDC is a peaceful party; from 2005 to 2011, we held the pillar and mantle of peace and democracy. If you believe in God, he will see you through. Do not carry anyone’s symbolic casket; we don’t want provocation.”
The President threatened drastic disciplinary measures against anyone, regardless of their status in the party, found orchestrating or participating in such act of totting caskets as campaign overtures.
