“It has become increasingly alarmed by recent developments that suggest a deliberate attempt by the current administration, led by President Joseph Boakai, to undermine the rule of law and use the judicial system for political gains.
These actions, if left unchecked, could erode the trust in our democratic institutions and destabilize the country’s fragile peace and unity.”
The statement quotes the Youth League of CDC.According to the CDC youth League, there are concerted efforts by the Boakai administration to weaponize the judicial system in an attempt to unlawfully evict the Coalition for Democratic Change from its rightful headquarters and said that the move appears to be politically motivated, aimed at destabilizing the CDC and weakening its organizational structure.
“We firmly believe that the judiciary must remain impartial, independent, and free from political manipulation; they further.
