“No Vision, No Focus" - Freeman Slams UP's Government

MONROVIA, LIBERIA: The Political Leader of the Movement for Progressive Change (MPC), Simeon Freeman, has branded the Unity Party government as directionless after nearly two in office.

Speaking at a press conference in Monrovia Wednesday, December 24, 2025, Freeman claimed that the Boakia's Administration lacks focus and direction, stating that its agenda has not revived the livelihoods of the ordinary citizens.

“Two years in, and the administration still lacks a clear direction. Every policy, every action seems made on the fly. That is a recipe for failure,” Freeman stated.

When asked about his honest grading on the government performance nearly two years in office, Freeman declared a demeaning 20/100 percent.

He cited stalled job creation, rising economic pressures on households, and underperforming public services as evidence of a government out of touch with citizen needs. 

“How can businesses thrive, and how can young people find opportunities when there’s no structured plan for economic growth or industrial development?” he asked.

The MPC leader also criticized ongoing political infighting and unfulfilled promises, warning that these distractions have undermined governance and stalled national development.

Freeman stressed that they lack coordination and strategic depth, limiting their overall impact. “It’s firefighting instead of nation-building,” he said.

The MPC Political Leader however emphasized that his 20/100 rating reflects systemic leadership weaknesses rather than symbolic judgment. 

According to him, the administration entered office with strong public support and high expectations, particularly from young Liberians and working-class citizens, who hoped for decisive action and structural reform.

“People were expecting real change, not rhetoric,” he noted. “This administration has been reactive rather than proactive, and that is dangerous for the country.”
