The Chair of the B**g County Legislative Caucus, Senator Prince Moye has accused the China Union of conniving with former Finance Minister Samuel Tweah on the social development fund to stall development in the county.

Addressing a major news conference Thursday, February 15, 2024, the Caucus Chair told legislative reporters at his Capitol Building Office that in recent years, the China Union has taken the backdoor in negotiating the county’s developmental drive at the detriment of the citizens.

He stressed that the concession is a law and whatever negotiation the major concession company had made with the Ministry of Finance and Development-Planning under the leadership of former Minister Tweah to cut down its social contribution to B**g County will be revisited and addressed adequately under his leadership as chair.

Also commenting on the MNG Gold Liberia - a Turkish mining company operating in B**g County, Senator Moye said the caucus has been very concerned about the slow pace of the company’s operations.

He then disclosed that a representation of the constituency was illegally removed from the Board of ArcelorMittal Liberia in recent times; something he said violated the exclusive representative rights of the county.

In furtherance, Senator Prince Moye averred that over the last two years, the county has been engulfed with legal and audit matters as a result, the development fund has not been utilized during the period stated.

President Boakai Mandates GAC To Audit CBL, EPS And NSA

Executive Mansion, Monrovia: The President of the Republic, H.E Joseph Nyuma Boakai has directed the General Auditing Commission (GAC) to conduct a comprehensive audit of three key government institutions, including the Central Bank of Liberia, the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Executive Protection Service (EPS).

President Boakai, in a communication to the Auditor General of the GAC, requests that the audit covers the period between 2018 and 2023, and that it the findings be reported in three months.

The audit period spans the six-year stewardship of the erstwhile government, which President Boakai promised to audit as President.

The audit of the three institutions marks the beginning of a holistic audit of government ministries and agencies in keeping with the President’s commitment to fighting corruption as well as ensuring transparency and accountability in the governance of the country.

President Boakai at different public engagements, most notably, the campaign period, the inaugural address and the annual message committed and recommitted to ensuring that a comprehensive audit of the previous government is done.

During his Annual Message, President Boakai announced that what his predecessor reported on the state of the country’s financial standing at the CBL was far from reality based on documentary records and re-emphasized the need to audit the CBL and other agencies.

"The net international reserves position reported at the end of December 2023 was US$220 million. The report of US $40 million as the GoL’s consolidated account balance as at January 19, 2024 is not supported by the fact. The balance reported by the CBL as of the same date was US$20.5 million, highly encumbered, NOT US$40 million," President Boakai announced during the Annual Message.

He furthered that "to this end, we re-emphasize our earlier commitment to audit and ensure that regular audits will be a culture across all branches of government, not only the Executive."

It will also be the first time in years that the EPS and NSA, two security entities that receive budgetary allocations, are being audited.

Twin Adoption Scandal Hangs Over Criminal Court C. Clerk, Knowles Shain
…As US Citizen Files Complaint to Supreme Court...

US Citizen Mrs. Wanda Potter though her legal council has filed a complaint to the Supreme Court of Liberia against Criminal Court C Clerk, Knowles Shain for the manner and form in which he allegedly handled an adoption process.
The US National who is currently in Liberia continues to raise eyebrows over the alleged dubious involvement of Criminal Court C Clerk, Knowles Shain and her ex-husband Estment Harris for the adoption of a twin kids that made her spent over twenty-three thousand United States Dollars.

Madam Putter believes the process which was initiated by Knowles Shain of Criminal Court C was wrongly handled, calling for their persecution.

Investigation proved that Mr. Knowles Shain, as the clerk of Criminal Court C, took part in the adoption process.

It is established that Mr. Knowles Shain’s office was used to hire lawyers like Cllr. J. Abel Knight who filed the petitioner affidavit and other relevant documents for the adoption process currently in our possession

Recently, the US Citizen said she spent around twenty-three thousand United States ($23,000 USD) which she sent to her ex-husband Estment Harris and Mr. Knowles Shain of Criminal Court C to carry on the adoption while in the United States.
The money according to Mrs. Wanda Potter was sent via various accounts.

Madam Wanda Potter told the press, being ignorant to the law governing the adoption of children in Liberia, she decided to passed through her ex-husband and Mr. Knowles Shain to adopt the kids, but was fruitless after spending such huge money.

In response, the Clerk at Criminal Court C denied allegation of duping madam potter as claimed.

Mr. Knowles Shain said he did so after being engaged by Madam Wanda Putter and her Ex-Husband Estment Harris to aid them carry on an adoption of twin kids.

He also denied allegation of making falsified documents for the adoption process in criminal Court C as claimed by the US Native.

According to him, Mrs. Wanda Potter is escaping going through the legally required adoption process which starts from the Gender Ministry and ends at the Probate Court.

He wonders why Mrs. Putter would be seen with the kids after police gave back the kids to their mother.

However, he confirmed having talks with the twin mother not to gave the kids to Madam Putter since Mrs. Potter was yet to complete the legal obligation associated with the adoption, even though his office was used to carry on such process.

It remains questionable on what motive did Mr. Shain had by informing the kids mother not to give the children to Madam Harris since knowing that he was the one being used to hire lawyers?

investigation indicates that the mother of the twin kids acknowledged having all of the activities and engagement at Criminal Court C with Mr. Knowles Shain taking full front which should have done at the Monthly and Probate Court.

According to the kid’s mom, madam potter has not insisted or forced her to getting the kids, but would rather do so voluntarily due to the care the US national continuously showing to she and her children.

Currently, the Liberia National police has arrested, charged and sent to Court madam Potter ex-husband Estment Harris on numerous charges.

The ex-husband who is believed to be a paster was seen handcuffed and escorted to the Monrovia City Court pending trial.

But, as it stands, the Clerk of Criminal Court C Knowles Shain is yet to be apprehended as complaint against him goes to the Supreme Court for redress.
