When former Representative of District #7, Solomon George, now dare talks about sycophancy in the CDC, he must be reminded that if there ever was a sycophantic club, he was not just a member, he was its captain. He enforced blind loyalty around George Weah more than anyone else, branding every independent thinker who dares to caution or disagree with the former President as an enemy of George Weah.
In the early days of the Weah presidency, when some of us had the courage to sound the alarm ( as we still do today) that the government was losing its way, forgetting the reasons for our election, and failing to include ordinary, qualified CDCians in governance, Solomon George was in the middle , not to provide empathy but to secure ” news” for a payday check from Jamaica.
He pretended to listen with fatherly ears, only to run to Jamaica Resort, with adversary mouth, delivering his own twisted version of our words. He helped deepen the very gulf between George Weah and some of his most loyal partisans including myself. Turning our authentic counsel and concern into a declaration of war on George Weah and now today he pretends to be angry for all the things he perpetrated, blaming everyone else but himself is a travesty of truth, history and Justice.
Solomon George has no moral standing to call out George Weah. If Weah is guilty of favoring friends above the party’s interest, then Solomon George is Exhibit A. 
Twice, Weah forced him on the people of District #7 as a candidate. Even in 2023, when the district had a more deserving option, a former Deputy Minister of Transport, who had tirelessly served in the district-kept the party alive, and impacted lives, Weah imposed Solomon George back on the people. And for the first time, district 7 (one often births places of the CDC), not only rejected Solomon George, but also CDC.
Solo, as he is often called, was an absentee lawmaker, one who insulted his own constituents, neglected his duties, but was a daily presence at the President’s residence and resort.
If Solomon George earned any compensation during the last six years, it should not have been for legislative work, but for his time spent at Weah’s residence and service, preventing any other with critical mind from coming any closer. He was more an errand boy than a representative of the people. But that wasn’t about loyalty to Weah, it was about leveraging proximity. Feeding, perhaps, Weah’s own desire of egomania
Now, desperate for relevance, Solomon George postures as a truth-teller. But his very record betrays him. He is not a prophet; nor a champion of the people who claims to be speaking truth to power , he is a chameleon of Liberian politics. A gossiper and a divider. He does not expose truth; he personified, encouraged and amplified the rot he claims to condemn.
Yes, George Weah must answer for his missteps, especially the alienation of loyal CDCians who deserved respect and recognition. But Solomon George is the last man to point fingers. His name is etched in the very betrayal, sycophancy, and failure he pretends to denounce. His words hurt me, not because it exposes any wrong of George Weah, but because Solo is the accumulation of those wrongs.
So let me say it bluntly as Solomon George would do or he has done to others: Solomon George must shut the f$$k up.
For let us not forget the words of Frantz Fanon “The traitor is the person who, without realizing it, tends to embody the enemy.” And as we say it in Liberia ” “When the rat is inside the house, it tells the cat where the fish is kept.” So was Solomon George.
