The opposition Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) of former President George Manneh Weah has strongly reacted the state of the nation address terming it as the bunch of lies, failed promises and claiming of the projects already initiated by the CDC-led government

CDC Chairman, Attorney Jango Kowo, whose speech centered labor, reconciliation, poor economic performances, police brutality, rape and sodomizing of boys, disclosed that the government should display the payroll for the 70,000 employment the UP government created.

Addressing a press conference in response of the state of nation address, Chairman |Kowo claimed that the pronouncement by the government on no car will hitch in the road is a scheme because rural dwellers are still experiencing difficulties in transporting during the raining seasons.

According to the CDC, President Boakai’s promise to invest in agriculture has proven to be false as not much investment in the sector in the 2026 national budget.

The Director of an International Faith Based organization; Jesus Ministry Church Global Dr. Sharilyn M. Garrett has stressed the needs for medical intervention in Liberia.

According to Dr. Garrett Liberians need medical assistance that will help address several medical issues affecting Liberians most especially the vulnerable encouraging Liberians across the country to put God first and always have a balanced diet.

‎‎Dr. Garrett maintained that the findings will guide the Ministry’s Board of Directors in deciding on the establishment of a medical outreach camp planned for 2027, pending approval.

For his part, Pastor Roland Chester, Lead Pastor of Jesus Ministry Church Global Africa/Asia and Liberia Chapter, commended the Ministry and Dr.

Garrett for the opportunity to serve and by bringing medical relief to the people of Liberia and Africa.
