IPNEWS – Standard bearer of the All Liberian Coalition Party (ALCOP), Mr. Lusinee F. Kamara is encouraging pilgrim attending this year’s Hajj in Mecca to pray for peaceful election and stability as Liberian prepares for the October 10 Presidential and Legislative Elections.

Speaking to journalists on Monday, June 26, Kamara said that it’s important that Muslims attending this year Hajj pray for prosperity and stability in Liberia.

According to him, Liberia is at a critical juncture and it now needs the prayer of the religious community to help save the country from future crisis.

“I am appealing to Muslim attending this year’s Hajj to pray for peaceful election in Liberia. We want them to pray for peace, stability and prosperity because Liberia needs the prayer of the Muslim Community than ever before. We want unity and peaceful co-existence therefore, we hope this year’s pilgrimage will enable such,’’ he stated.

Meanwhile, Kamara, who once served as Finance Minister, is appealing to Muslims particularly the over 40 individuals from Lofa County, who were unable to attend this year Hajj in Mecca through is institution.

He said that their travel agency Songhy was untenable to send their customers to Mecca because of cancellation of the contract with the Grace Jet Company based in Saudi Arabia.

“I want to appeal to all those who couldn’t make it to go for this year Hajj through our organization. This is due to some political and personal reason that the chairman of the Hajj, Minister Varney Sirleaf, has with me because I am a political leader of a party.”

“Because of that, we received information that it was through his influence that this contract was terminated and money promise to be refunded,’’ he noted.

Kamara disclosed that they are contemplating to take a legal action against the Grace Jet Company and whoever that was involved with the cancellation of the agreement.
