GANTA, NIMBA COUNTY — Political leader of the Citizen Movement for Change (CMC) and Representative of Nimba County District #7, Musa Hassan Bility, has sharply criticized Liberia’s past and present leadership while unveiling what he described as an ambitious, people-centered development agenda ahead of 2026.
Addressing Liberians in his 2026 message, Bility said Liberia has suffered for far too long under corruption, broken promises, and poor governance, noting that successive governments have failed to deliver meaningful change to ordinary citizens.
“For too long, we have watched corruption eat our country like a cancer,” Bility said. “We have watched our children graduate from universities only to remain unemployed, our mothers walk miles to hospitals with no medicine, and our farmers struggle on roads that lead nowhere.”
He accused both the Unity Party-led government and the former Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) administration of disappointing the Liberian people, despite repeated promises of reform and development.
“We waited for the Unity Party. They didn’t deliver. We waited for CDC before them. They failed us too,” he said. “We have been patient, hopeful, and disappointed—but the waiting is over.”
Bility highlighted what he called “remarkable progress” made by the Citizen Movement for Change since its launch in March 2025, citing the completion and rehabilitation of roads, bridges, schools, and sanitation facilities across several counties.
According to him, CMC has also provided donations and support to market women, churches, youth organizations, and other community groups, demonstrating what he termed “practical leadership in action.”
“This is only the beginning,” Bility stated. “If we can accomplish this much in such a short time, imagine what we can do together in 2026.”
The CMC leader announced several major infrastructure projects earmarked for 2026, particularly in rural and underserved areas. In Lofa County, Bility said CMC plans to construct a long-awaited bridge connecting Biakadu to Tusor—an area he noted has claimed many lives due to unsafe crossings.
“In 2026, we hope to see the beginning of the end of the suffering of the people of Guadeloupe,” he added.
He further disclosed plans to build a bridge in Gbarnga, which he said has long divided the capital of Bong County, and promised relief to residents of Bong county .Construction of the Tiawan–Saye–Gongloe Bridge, a vital link between Bong County and Nimba County, is also expected to commence in 2026.
Bility also announced upcoming project earmarking visits to Grand Gedeh, River Gee, Sinoe, Grand Kru, Bomi, and Maryland counties, as well as future projects in Montserrado, Grand Bassa, and Margibi counties.
“2026 Is the Year We Take Back Our Country”
Describing 2026 as a defining moment, Bility said the year represents a turning point for Liberia and the rise of the Citizen Movement for Change.
“2026 is not just another year,” he declared. “It is the year we take back our country. It is the year the Citizen Movement for Change rises—and Liberia rises with us.”
He acknowledged widespread public frustration with politicians who make promises but fail to deliver, saying he understands the exhaustion felt by ordinary Liberians.
However, Bility said he draws inspiration from the resilience of market women, farmers, young graduates, and members of the Liberian diaspora who continue to support their families and believe in the country’s future.
“That strength, that determination, that pride—that is the real Liberia,” he said.
In closing, Bility made a bold pledge on behalf of the CMC, promising decisive action against corruption and a focus on job creation.
“Not as a politician, but as a Liberian who loves this country with everything I have, I promise you this,” he said. “CMC will end corruption—not reduce it, not manage it, but end it. And we will create real jobs—jobs that allow Liberians to provide for their families with dignity.”
