Former Finance Minister, Samuel D. Tweh alias D-Tweh has been officially set free after Jury comprising of ordinary citizens cleared him of all charges earlier put forth by the government of Liberia through its lawyers(prosecution).

Tweh, who was a very close ally and confidant of former President Weah has consistently noted that the case against him is purely witch-hunt/political and does not have any legal basis.

What do you make up of this case and the verdict?

A young scholar studying Public Administration at the University of Liberia Ephesian Maoh Tailey writes:

"Nothing has changed. After expending taxpayers’ money to remove Hon. Kolubah, we are still witnessing reports of Guinean military forces stationed on the very portion of land he raised concerns about—an issue for which his colleagues took what many consider an immature and disproportionate action against him.
‎
‎Liberians continue to wait for clear, substantive communication from the government, an administration entrusted with our hopes, trust, voices, and constitutional rights. Unfortunately, that level of leadership and transparency has not been sufficiently demonstrated.
‎The central questions remain:
‎Why are Guinean military forces still present on what is believed to be Liberian territory?
‎Why has the government, under Mr. Boakai, not provided detailed and timely information regarding this matter?
‎
‎What was the primary objective of the President’s visit to Guinea? Was it to resolve the situation in the interest of Liberia, or to enter into agreements that may not be beneficial to the country?
‎
‎These concerns continue to weigh heavily on the minds of many Liberians.
‎At the same time, the government must distinguish between “urgent issues” and “important issues.” While both categories matter, urgent issues demand immediate attention and decisive action.
‎
The statement made by Hon. Kolubah, whether controversial or not, did not in itself threaten national stability or prevent the government from addressing the pressing “bread and butter” challenges facing ordinary Liberians.
‎
‎His expulsion has not resolved the underlying issue. If anything, it has raised further questions about priorities. The Guinean military presence reportedly persists, so what, in practical terms, has changed? The answer, for many citizens, appears to be: nothing.
‎
‎Liberians deserve responsive leadership. leadership that prioritizes national sovereignty, economic well-being, and transparent governance. Addressing concerns raised by citizens should not be seen as a threat, but as an opportunity to strengthen democracy and public trust."

What do you make up of his writeups ?

Grand Gedeh Youth President Under Scrutiny Over Alleged Financial Misconduct.

By: Staff Reporter

The Youth President of Grand Gedeh, Marcus Jalarue, is facing growing public scrutiny following revelations surrounding the handling of funds reportedly disbursed by the county’s local authority.
According to information circulating online, Jalarue disclosed receiving LRD$100,000 out of a total LRD$200,000 allocated to youth-related initiatives in the county. The disclosure has sparked debate among citizens and stakeholders, especially after a copy of the check issued to him revealed 200,000LRD.

The disparity in the amount announced by him earlier and that of what was issued to him has left many in total disbeliefs especially for a man who is constantly badmouthing the county leadership with many people especially youth now demanding clarity on the the disparity.

The situation intensified after a leaked audio recording surfaced on multiple social media platforms. In the recording, Jalarue’s is heard pleading with the county’s Senior Accountant, Sylvester S. Weah Sr., to divert a portion of the funds into his personal account.
In the same audio, Weah is reportedly heard rejecting the request, stating that such an action would violate established financial management rules and ethical standards. His response has been widely interpreted as a refusal to engage in any form of financial impropriety.

Its circulation has triggered widespread public reaction, particularly among young people in the county who are the intended beneficiaries of the funds.

Civil Society Organizations and youth groupings including the Vice President of Grand Gedeh Youth are now calling for an open investigation thereby allowing Marcus to step aside from his position for gross misconduct and entanglement into corruption.

“This is not just about one individual,” said a local youth advocate. “It is about protecting public resources meant for development and ensuring leaders act in the best interest of the people.”

As of the time of this report, neither Jalarue nor the Grand Gedeh Youth Administration in totality has provided any official release regarding the matter.

The unfolding situation highlights ongoing concerns about financial governance at the local level and raises broader questions about accountability in the management of public funds.

More details will follow soon.

Former President George M. Weah has nothing to offer the people of Grand Gedeh. He misled us and failed to deliver meaningful development for our people during his six years in office.

I am no longer part of that group; I am now an independent candidate. I will support individuals who are committed to bringing real development to our county.
