Liberian Political Parties Clash Over Credit for China-Funded Tubman Boulevard Overpasses
The construction of two overpass bridges along Tubman Boulevard in Congo Town, funded by China, has ignited a political dispute between Liberia's major parties. Supporters of former President George Manneh Weah’s Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) and the ruling Unity Party (UP) led by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai are both vying for credit for the infrastructure project. The overpasses, intended to alleviate traffic congestion, have become a contentious issue in the political landscape of Liberia.
This development highlights the ongoing political maneuvering around infrastructure projects in the country, with each party attempting to assert their influence and popularity among the electorate. Originally reported by AllAfrica
