According to FPA, The headquarters of the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) on Wednesday, January 10 was in a mixture of angry and jubilant mood after over nine persons were arrested for launching a fake job scheme in the name of the party. The suspects were apprehended by the CDC intelligence and turned over to the Liberia National Police for investigation. They were arrested after they have sold forms in various communities across Monrovia, claiming that the process was part of a job scheme sanctioned by the party.The Youth League of the CDC recently announced a general cleaning up campaign across Montserrado County and the highway leading to the Roberts International Airport (RIA) in order to give the city a facelift ahead of the January 22 inauguration. But individuals suspected to be fraudsters printed forms in the name of providing jobs and were selling the forms to hundreds of youthful job seekers for LD$40.00 each.They were allegedly selling the forms in various communities where young people are eager for jobs, although the CDC has earlier announced that the recruitment process was free and voluntary. Over six thousand forms were reportedly sold, while LD$200 each was reportedly extorted from a job seeker for identification card fees in order to qualify for the recruitment.The arrest of the alleged extortionists brought a great relief to partisans who witnessed the incident at the headquarters of the party. Kelvin Addison, one of the victims of the fraud, says the same action should be taken against officials of the CDC led government who will be caught in corruption.
