Monrovia — Opposition member and leader of the Alternative National Congress (ANC), Alexander Cummings, has condemned the recent attacks on former Chief Justice Cllr. Gloria Musa Scott’s home, which left one person dead and several others injured.

In a statement issued by the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP), Cummings expressed deep concern and extended his condolences to Cllr. Scott and her family. He also noted that this was the third attack on her home and family, suggesting that the attacks were targeted and possibly orchestrated to intimidate opposition members.

“We are therefore forced to conclude that these violent attacks are targeted if not orchestrated to intimidate and frighten the Liberian people, especially members of the opposition community,” Cummings said.

He criticized the government’s response to the attacks, saying that it had failed to meet its “basic duty of security for the Liberian people.” Cummings pointed to President Weah’s suggestion that citizens should install CCTV cameras for their own safety, calling it an inadequate solution.

“The most basic duty of any responsible government is to protect all citizens, especially in the exercise of all of their fundamental rights,” Cummings said. “Yet the President has told Liberians, many of whom can barely afford to care for their families, to get CCTV cameras for their own safety. As a result, we continue to see an increase in crime, lawlessness, and violence against peaceful citizens and their families.”

Cummings emphasized that lawlessness and violence are unacceptable threats to Liberia’s peace, security, and democracy. He warned that there would be consequences for those who undermine the nation’s peace, democracy, and security.

“No one will be permitted to get away with undermining our nation’s peace, democracy, and security. There will be consequences for these actions, and or inactions. If not now, certainly, in the very near future,” Cummings said.

The CPP statement concluded by reiterating their commitment to peace, democracy, and the rule of law in Liberia. “Liberians Deserve Better,” Cummings added.
