The attention of the Grand Coalition of Civil Society Organizations in Liberia, a conglomeration seven (7) civil society grouping has been drawn to a calculated blackmail and misinformation ploy against the management of ADI Contractors citing bad labor practice and poor performance rating. According to a statement issued today by the group under the signature of its Secretary General, Decontee A. Sackor, said while we appreciate constructive criticisms, we are at the same time bemused and flabbergasted that a rag tag civil society group will engage in falsehoods that has the propensity of casting aspersions on the civil society sector of our country thereby derailing the objectives and principles for which civil society activism is intended. Additionally, the Civil Society Construction Watch lied when it accused ADI Contactors of not meeting PPCC regulations in the implementation of projects. Our action is premised on the manner and form mushrooming and hustlers civil society activists are portraying CIVIL SOCIETY as a whole. The so-called Civil Society Construction Watch has subjected civil society activism to public ridicule and they must be made to account for their action, the statement concluded.
