President Boakai Appoints Associate Justice Yamie Gbeisay As Chief Justice; Calls On Senate To Speedily Confirm

By: Staff Writer

Monrovia- President Joseph Nyuma Boakai jr. has nominated Associate Justice Yamie Quiqui Gbeisay as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Liberia.

In a release issued by Executive Mansion-Liberia, Boakai called on the Liberian Senate to “expeditiously consider and confirm the nomination.”
Associate Justice Gbeisay age 66 is posed to replace outgoing chief justice Sie-A- Nyene Youh who reached the constitutional retirement age of seventy on June 26 as provided by the 1986 constitution.

A letter written by President Joseph Boakai to Senate Pro Temp Nyonblee Karnga Lawrence described Justice Gbeisay as a distinguished jurist who has demonstrated exemplary integrity, profound legal acumen, and commitment to upholding the rule of law and the Constitution.”

The Executive Mandion release added Justice Gbeisay’s appointment, if confirmed, will mark a continuation of his longstanding
judicial service and dedication to the Liberian legal system.

The nomination was made in accordance with Article 54(c) of the 1986 Constitution of
Liberia, which grants the President the authority to appoint the Chief Justice, Associate Justices, and Judges of Subordinate Courts. Additionally, the nomination aligns with Article 72(b) of the Constitution, which mandates retirement of Justices upon reaching the age of seventy.

The nomination is pending confirmation by the Liberian Senate.

However, several Liberians have begun expressing contrary views about the nomination of Associate Justice Yamie Gbeisay as chief Justice of the supreme court.

Critics say his ascended to chief justice post would turn the Liberian justice system non-independent and create room for political influence and party politics.

The 66 year old Associate Justice is accused of taking political side during recent case involving the removing of Cllr. Fonati Koffa as Speaker of 55th National Legislature.

There are also predictions of intense atmosphere at the Temple of Justice in the coming weeks if the Senate should speedily confirm Justice Gbeisay as chief justice as requested by president Boakai because chief justice Sie-A- Nyene Youh has since vowed to hold onto power until August closure of the Supreme Court.

The Government of Liberia categorically refutes the content, tone, and intent of a recent article titled “Liberia Selected as One of Trump’s ‘Dumpsite’ Countries for Criminals and Illegal Immigrants.”

The article, which has circulated across social and digital platforms, presents a grossly distorted narrative that misrepresents the U.S.–Liberia bilateral cooperation.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs can emphatically state that the Government of Liberia has not been in any conversation or negotiations regarding third party nationals being sent from the United States to Liberia.

Likewise, noting that there are no ongoing discussions related to 3rd party nationals, Liberia has not entered into any agreement formal or informal that obligates it to receive individuals who are not Liberian citizens.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs however seeks to use this opportunity to caution the public from being drawn into misinformation and disinformation, and to ask the concerned media to desist from such destructive actions of writing stories on false and baseless claims.

The Government of Liberia is however engaged with the United States on actions required to address issues to prevent Liberia from being placed on a travel ban.

These issues include the widespread presentation of fraudulent documents to the United States Embassy such as court papers, affidavits, birth certificates and others, as well as issues related to the slow prosecution of said cases of fraud.

In addition, issues surrounding overstay are high on the agenda given that Liberia has a high record of overstays.

This among several other issues are points of engagement between the US Government and the Government of Liberia, and we look forward to continue to work together to address these issues holistically to avoid Liberians being banned from traveling to the United States.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs encourages all Liberians including the diaspora, to comply with the US regulations and work together to ensure that Liberians who visit the United States return within the timeframe stipulated during their visa interviews as overstay is marked against the duration of the visit that the applicant stated during the interview or request for visa.

We will be providing more information to the public to ensure that Liberians understand the meaning of overstay and the implications of presentation of fake documents and information to the United States government.

The owner of the property housing the headquarter of the Congress for Democratic Change in Congo Town, is demanding CDC leadership to vacate on or before June 10,2025, or risk eviction.

This follows the Supreme Court’s May 28, 2025 opinion, that led to the dismissal of the Bill of Information filed by the legal team of the Congress for Democratic Change, which was seeking to prevent the Subordinate Court Judge from implementing the Supreme Court 2016 judgement against their removal.

In a communication dated June 2,2025 to the National Chairman of CDC, Atty. Janga Kowo through the property owner lawyer Cllr. Johnny Momoh noted that the tenancy on its property is undesirable, and is therefore demanding them to surrender the property.

The communication also mentioned that the four point two three acres of land that is occupied by the CDC, be turned over on or before June 10, failure to do so summary proceedings to recover possession of real property against CDC, demand accrued rent at the rate of US 100 thousand per year, and also damages for the wrongful withholding of its property will be instructed to compel their exit as provided by law.

However, the leadership of the Congress for Democratic Change, is yet to respond to the property owner communication dated June 2, 2025.

The property owner hoped that the leadership of the CDC will abide by their demand contained in their June 2, 2025 communication to them to peacefully surrender their property to avoid another litigation.

CDC is yet to respond to the communication.

The House of Representatives of the Republic of Liberia extends its full and unwavering support to the Government and People of Liberia in their noble quest to secure a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for the 2026–2027 term.

This historic bid marks a significant moment in Liberia’s diplomatic journey and reflects the nation’s enduring commitment to global peace, security, multilateral cooperation, and democratic governance. Liberia, having made substantial contributions to peacekeeping, post-conflict recovery, and regional stability, is well-positioned to bring a unique voice and credible perspective to global peace and security discussions at the Security Council.

The House recognizes the pivotal role that the UNSC plays in maintaining international peace and security and believes that Liberia’s presence on the Council will amplify the voice of smaller nations, especially within the West African region and the global community.

As representatives of the Liberian people, we affirm our collective commitment and readiness to support the Executive in all necessary diplomatic, legislative, and logistical undertakings to ensure the success of this bid. The Legislature under the gavel of Speaker Richard Nagbe Koon stands in full solidarity with Liberia’s international partners, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and our diplomatic missions as they lead the campaign.

We thank other member States that have endorsed Liberia’s bid and encourage other member states of the United Nations to endorse Liberia’s candidacy, recognizing the country’s long-standing contributions to global peace and Security, reconciliation, and the respect for democratic values on the African continent and beyond.

The House of Representatives would like also commend H.E Sarah Beyslow Nyanti, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and our Ambassadors assigned in friendly countries, who have been instrumental in leading the campaign for this bid.

Again the Honorable House of Representatives remains very supportive in this venture as Liberia secure this seat.
I thank you!

Message of Condolence from
His Excellency Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr.
President of the Republic of Liberia
On the Passing of Former Liberian First Lady, Madam Nancy Bohn Doe

May 23, 2025

It is with deep sorrow and feeling of great loss that I receive the sad news of the passing of the late Madam Nancy Bohn Doe, former First Lady of the Republic of Liberia.

On behalf of the Government and people of Liberia, and in my own name, I express heartfelt sympathy to the Doe Family during this time of mourning.

The late former First Lady served our nation with grace and dignity during a pivotal time in our history. As First Lady, she carried the responsibilities of her position with strength, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to her family and country.

While serving as a cabinet minister in the Government of her late husband, our late former Head of State, I had the privilege of observing her
life to be one of resilience, marked by both the drive for national service and personal sacrifice.

While history may record the complexities and tumult of that era, we as a nation must rise in acknowledgment of the honorable and courageous path our fallen compatriot, former First Lady Doe, whose life was interwoven with our nation’s often times intriguing journey, served her country and people.

Madam Doe’s legacy will remain etched in our national memory as part of Liberia’s broader historical narrative.

I therefore enjoin the nation to pray that the Almighty will grant her eternal rest and comfort her loved ones with peace and strength in this period of loss.

May her soul rest in perfect peace.

Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr.
President of the Republic of Liberia

Weah & Doe Family Fall Apart?

By: Staff writer

Monrovia - Former President George M. Weah is facing serious criticism from the family of former president Samuel K. Doe and dozens of Liberians over what is described as hapocrisy of Weah's so-called condolences for the passing of Nancy B. Doe, former first lady of the Republic of Liberia.

Late Thursday May 22, Weah issued a special statement of condolences on his official page in which he said he was deeply saddened by the passing of the former First Lady who ended her earthly sojourn on Tuesday, May 20, after a period of illness.

He further said the loss of Madam Nancy Doe resonates with him personally, given the pivotal role former President Samuel Doe played in his journey to becoming a professional football player.

But in response to Weah's condolences, Mamie Veronica Doe, a daughter of former President Doe took onto her page Friday, rejecting Weah's expressed sadness over the passing of her mother.

She wrote your Excellency George Weah,
thank you for your gracious sentiments regarding the passing of former First Lady Mrs, our mother Nancy Bohn Doe. We were somewhat surprised to learn of your deep sorrow, given how you treated her with such hostility at your first and last meeting, when she humbly begged you not to sack her son at the port.

She further questioned the former Liberian leader as to whether he recalled that First Lady photo-op meeting he held, with over twenty people assembled?You made her wait for you for over 8 hours, then publicly blamed her for both of your presidential defeats and insisted she alone could have suppressed the rumors about your marriage to me - Mamie Doe. When she explained that I was already married and had never met you in my adult life. Yet you continue to belittle her as “speaking foolishness” and brusquely told her to “get from here mehn… and you call yourself a mother?” Your harsh words reduced her to tears, Mamie Veronica Doe added.

She is quoted as saying, still crying, she begged you for mercy on behalf of her son because he supported the ruling party who hired him three years prior. Do you remember what you said to her? You told her not to worry about Junior because you will settle matters with him “man to man.”

The deceased former first lady daughter narrated that in the years that followed, despite Weah's Chief of Protocol always dropping the phone down on her and ultimately blocking her number, she still persisted.

She noted, rain or shine for six consecutive years, she stood at the gates of the Executive Mansion, only to be turned away, year after year and time and time again.

According to her all her mother wanted was to ask what any First Lady deserves: recognition of her 10-year service, her pension, and relief from 20-year-old pending cases; including her ECOWAS appeal but she was never given audience by former president Weah.

Incidentally, your own spouse is currently enjoying her full entitlement as a former First Lady? Yes? While you denied the first Indigenous First Lady her rights for 6 long years? she stated

Time will not permit me to mention my father’s unwavering loyalty to you—an act of devotion you saw fit to ignore except when it suited your campaign soundbites. You’d sooner praise foreign backers than the man who pulled you up by your bootstraps and made those same foreigners take notice of your God-given talent. Why did you hate him so much, yet he loved you too much?

So please forgive our astonishment at your heartfelt condolences. It seems someone else must have drafted your letter, for it is hard to believe the man who silenced her cries for help for justice now mourns her absence.

Nevertheless, we acknowledge your unexpected sympathy. Let the Almighty God judge between you and her.

Former President George Weah faces Sharpe criticism over his condolences to the Does; considers hapocrisy

22/05/2025

The Commander-in-Chief of the Economic Freedom Fighters of Liberia has cited bureaucratic bottlenecks as a major factor hindering the operations of the Assets Recovery Taskforce.

Speaking in a radio interview Thursday, Emmanuel Gonquoi revealed that the administrative structure of the taskforce prevents him from effectively performing his duties.

He further disclosed that the taskforce lacks a comprehensive workplan to guide its operations, adding that members are often afraid of being bullied by public perception.

Gonquoi, a former member of the taskforce, stated that there is sufficient evidence to hold officials of the past administration accountable for allegedly siphoning public assets.
He lamented that the taskforce is doing little to address cardinal issues.

Recounting his time with the taskforce, Gonquoi said he was merely placed in an office with no clear responsibilities and action plan stating that he was just playing with papers while serving his role.

He explained that his efforts to go after former officials accused of misappropriating public assets were obstructed, noting that the working environment did not align with his ideals and principles, a situation that ultimately led to his resignation.
