Monrovia – The management of East International Group has strongly denied media reports alleging that its equipment was used in the demolition of the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) headquarters, describing the claim as “malicious and unfounded.”
In a statement issued Sunday, the company rejected the August 23, 2025 publication by Shine Liberia, which suggested that an East International “yellow machine” was deployed by police during the demolition exercise at the CDC compound.
“We call on Shine Liberia to do the honorable thing by retracting this malicious report intended to tarnish our hard-earned reputation as a business institution,” the statement read. “All logistics of East International are duly marked and cannot be used for any activities outside of construction works.”
CEO Cao Yun Feng further disclosed that the company’s lawyers had been informed and legal options were under review should Shine Liberia fail to retract the report.
“East International is a reputable business institution and will not allow its name to be dragged into unfounded political plots,” he stressed.
The company also clarified speculation regarding its ownership:
“East International Group is not owned by Senator Nathaniel McGill or any former government officials, but by private entrepreneurs both local and international.”
The CDC headquarters in Congo Town was demolished on Saturday, August 23, under heavy police presence, sparking political backlash and widespread debate.
