Former Finance Minister under the Weah regime, Samuel D. Tweah, Jr., has announced today that a politically motivated witch-hunt has been officially launched against him. In a statement on his verified Facebook page, Tweah highlighted the “false and malicious” accusations he has faced over the past six years.
From the alleged 25 million mop-up propaganda to the controversial 16 billion concoction, Tweah reveals that he has been relentlessly targeted with fabricated claims aimed at tarnishing his reputation and undermining his political institution. However, he remains resolute in his determination to fight back against these baseless allegations.
Interestingly, this witch-hunt comes at a time when the Unity Party, facing mounting allegations of corruption, has decided to shift the focus onto Tweah and other former officials of the CDC, as stated in the statement.
Tweah alleges that the Unity Party has been criticized for its role in the CBL payment scandal, involving the transfer of US$8 million from Liberia’s reserve funds to SIB bank, which allegedly funded the party’s campaign.
Furthermore, Tweah asserts that the Unity Party is accused of turning a blind eye to numerous audit reports that exposed the depletion of Liberia’s Treasury during its 12-year rule. With a dwindling public rating due to its recent failures as a government, he notes that the Unity Party’s decision to pursue this witch-hunt appears to be a desperate attempt to divert attention from its own shortcomings.
Undeterred by these challenges, Samuel D. Tweah, Jr. emphasizes that he remains confident in his innocence and is prepared to confront this witch-hunt head-on. With the support of his legal team and allies, he is determined to clear his name and restore his reputation through the justice system, as mentioned in the statement.
Tweah firmly believes that he will emerge stronger from this ordeal, while his adversaries will be left ashamed.
As the nation watches this unfolding saga, it is crucial for all Liberians to work towards a fairer and better Liberia. Samuel D. Tweah, Jr. calls upon his fellow citizens to unite and strive for a brighter future, free from political vendettas and baseless accusations. In these challenging times, it is vital for the country to focus on the issues that truly matter and work towards progress and prosperity.
