Whistleblower
His.Excellency,PresidentJoseph Nyumah Boakai, President of the Republic of Liberia.
I bring you greetings from the Liberia Medicines and Health Products Regulatory Authority(LMHRA).
YourExcellency, this is a Whistleblower and call for attention.
Your Excellency, you requested a report regarding the information as published in The front-page Africa headline of the board resolution of revocation of G2 Importers
license for importation of substandard medicines.The report currently submitted by the LMHRA managing director has just been prepared and cooked for your hearing but is far from reality and truth.
The report on the ADR reaction was conducted and the finding was submitted to the Department of Inspectorate for post-marketing surveillance, and a formal complaint was written to the LMHRA hearing board for investigation.
The finding from the hearing board contains 236 packs, with each labelling violation of each packaging as stated in the LMHRA Act of 2010. Each violation got an administrative penalty of 500 USD, resulting to one hundred eighteen thousand(118,000USD).
Instead of USD 118,000 The MD and DMD of LMHRA made G2 pharmacy to pay only 1,000USD. Do the life of Liberian 16 years old boy cost 1,000USD? How did the MD and DMD dropped the fine from USD 118,000 to only USD 1,000?
The packaging and pack size are not components of the ADR report submitted previously. The 24-packs as mentioned in the current MD report is not a reality. He was the formal board chair, and under his watch the medicine was imported. This
was a gross mistake to allow a formal board chair to become managing director at LMHRA.
If not through the Board of directors approach towards this case, G2 would have been set free for causing a death of a young Liberian boy. The Board of directors caught the attention of the case and directed G2’s license cancelation and fined him for the death, but the MD and DMD of LMHRA are behind the board of directors to cancel the resolution of investigation against the very G2 pharmacy. It seems that G2 and the MD and the DMD have certain mutual interest, else why would the regulatory Authority MD and DMD go against the Board of directors legal approach towards the violated G2 pharmacy.
The report was an internal document and did not require a signature. Members of the investigation team was called and manipulated into signing the current report.

Your Excellency, below are some of the action points to investigate.
The honorable currently serving as the managing director of LMHRA previously held the position of board chair before his appointment.
Currently, Hon. Bawo is engaged in anti-discrimination by removing Unity party members from their positions and replacing them with CDCIANNS who campaign against the party.
This is even a violation and fronting situation, as the board of LMHRA in their sitting rejected the controller then, but Dr. Bawo maintained his crowning and this is even a violation and fronting situations, as the board of LMHRA in their sitting rejected the controller then, but Dr. Bawo maintained his crowning and even promoted him as director of finance of administration without an audit, even promoting the controller after the board demanded an audit.
Currently, Hon. Bawo is engaged in anti-discrimination by giving benefits to selected personnel that he brought and employed under his control, especially those maneuvering his activities.
•He appointed the controller as director of finance and administration after he
succeeded. The controller at that time when he was serving as board chair, but the board rejected this appointment because there was no audit and to no avail; the audit is yet to be conducted up to present.
The core function of LMHRA is not implemented; even lab consumables and reference standards to conduct testing on imported medicines are not available• We see money in the amount of fifty-eight thousand United States dollars (58,000USD)paid in the name of an individual, which violates the PCC law.
The Government of Liberia, through GSA and the Ministry of Finance, has paid the rent for LMHRA for this year, and yet we see wastage of public funds only because people want to get kickbacks.
•We see an MOU signed for a community-based organization for pharmaceutical waste management in which ten thousand United States dollars (S10,000.00 USD)are paid periodically as the law provides only LMHRA is responsible for the disposal of pharmaceutical waste. This is corruption; this is not what we voted for.
Barely over-the period, approximately three million in expenditure with no growth in infrastructure at LMHRA and regulatory system strengthening.
Your Excellency, this is not what we advocated for. We spoke against these unlawful attitudes that continue to break the governing of our institution, marginalization, anti-discrimination, and subjective selection of personnel for maneuvering. We were hunted for a good six (6)years for campaigning for you, and still we are being hunted.
Currently, they are calling on critical voices and threatening suspension of affixed documentation in their favor. We normally hear them saying we have people in the barely over the period, approximately three million in expenditure with no growth in infrastructure at LMHRA and regulatory system strengthening.

Currently, they are calling on critical voices and threatening suspension of affixed documentation in their favor. We normally hear them saying we have people in the executive; nothing will happen to us. We fought for this government, and we cannot allow people to damage these hard-earned characters and, above all, the people.
RECOMMENDATION: Call for an audit for LMHRA; the audit should be fully
implemented.
