— CMC Bility Describes Boakai’s Cabinet Meeting
The Citizens Movement for Change (CMC) has sharply criticized the December 2, 2025 Cabinet Communiqué issued by the Executive Mansion.
The CMP of Nimba County Lawmaker Musa Hassan Bility described the recent cabinet meet as not only disappointing but “a grave affront” to the daily struggles and expectations of ordinary Liberians.
In a statement signed by its chairman, James MV Yougie, the party said the Boakai administration continues to rely on hollow speeches and recycled promises at a time when the country urgently needs decisive leadership.
According to the CMC, the Cabinet meeting convened under the pretense of addressing national emergencies such as job creation and drug abuse failed to produce a single concrete and tangible action.
In their statement, the party argued that if a Cabinet session dedicated to tackling drug abuse offers no policy, no program, and no timeline, then the government clearly does not view the lives of young Liberians as a priority.
The party also questioned the administration’s announcement of a proposed “National Employment Acceleration Strategy adding that the government has yet to produce data to show what job-creation efforts have already been undertaken, and directing agencies to begin gathering statistics only exposes the absence of planning.
The statement further criticized the record-high $1.2 billion national budget, noting that more than $350 million is being channeled into expanding the wage bill.
Bility’s CMC argued that swelling the cost of government does not translate into real job creation and risks benefiting bureaucracy more than citizens.
With everyday Liberians still struggling to afford rice, access healthcare, or find work, the group said the government’s self-praise over budget size “adds insult to injury.”
CMC outlined what it believes a serious government would have done stressing the government should launch a robust public works program, offer incentives for local businesses to hire youth and women, publish transparent job-creation budget lines, and issue quarterly reports on employment outcomes.
CMC said instead, the communiqué delivered what the group described as “bureaucratic diversions” that offer no hope to struggling families.
”That communiqué reveals this administration disconnected from the realities its people face. Liberians, it said, are no longer asking for grand promises; they are demanding action, accountability, and real change now.” The party stated in a release.
