Yekepa, Nimba County – In a landmark development for healthcare in northern Liberia, surgical services have officially resumed at the ArcelorMittal Liberia (AML) Yekepa Hospital, bringing renewed hope to thousands of residents in and around the mining community.

After several months of preparation, the hospital’s newly renovated surgical ward opened its doors this week, equipped with state-of-the-art medical technology designed to meet international standards. The resumption of services was marked by two successful surgical procedures performed earlier today—both a testament to the skill and dedication of the hospital’s medical team.

The comprehensive upgrade included the installation of modern operating tables, advanced anesthesia machines, improved lighting systems, and upgraded sterilization equipment. These improvements are aimed at not only increasing the hospital’s capacity but also ensuring safer, more efficient surgical outcomes for patients.

ArcelorMittal Liberia has hailed the milestone as a reflection of its ongoing commitment to community health and well-being. Company officials expressed deep gratitude to the leadership team, healthcare professionals, and technical experts who worked tirelessly to bring the project to completion.

"We are proud to deliver world-class surgical care right here in Yekepa," the company stated. "Together, we are building healthier futures for our employees, their families, and the entire community."

The reinstatement of surgical services means residents in Yekepa and surrounding towns will no longer need to travel long distances to access critical surgical care, reducing both the financial and health risks associated with delayed treatment. Community members have already welcomed the move, describing it as a “lifeline” for the region.

With this advancement, AML Yekepa Hospital is set to play an even more vital role in improving healthcare access, saving lives, and strengthening the overall health system in Nimba County.

…As Several Prominent Legal Figures Struggle to Meet Obligations

The Liberia National Bar Association (LNBA) has published its latest list of lawyers in compliance with bar dues payments—a mandatory annual requirement for all licensed legal practitioners in the country. The list has sparked widespread attention, as several high-profile legal and political figures are noticeably absent.

A review by the Spoon News Desk reveals that former Chief Justice Francis S. Korkpor, impeached Associate Justice Kabineh M. Jan’eh, and former Solicitor General Cllr. Syrenius Cephus, Cllr. Varney Sherman, House Speaker Fonati Koffa, former Vice President Jewel Howard-Taylor, and ex-Solicitor General Betty Lamin Blamo are among those reportedly non-compliant. as applications started since March of this year.

Interestingly, the over 373-name list does not include members of the National Association of Trial Judges of Liberia (NATJL), raising concerns that several sitting judges may also be delinquent in meeting their obligations to the Bar.

Judges reportedly in alleged non-compliance include Nancy Finda Sammy, A. Blamo Dixon, Roosevelt Willie, Wesseh Alphonso Wesseh, and Golda A. Bonah Elliott.

Sources close to the Bar indicate that the incoming Chief Justice, His Honor Yamie Quiqui Gbeisay, is expected to work closely with the LNBA leadership to address the root causes of these lapses, especially concerning judicial officers.

Bar dues are not merely a formality—they serve both regulatory and ethical purposes, ensuring legal practitioners maintain their eligibility to practice law in Liberia. Non-compliance can result in suspension, disqualification from court appearances, and possible disciplinary action.

The LNBA’s latest move reinforces its commitment to upholding the integrity and professionalism of the legal system.

LRA Subpoenaed to Testify in High-Profile Capitol Building Arson Case

Credit. Melvin Jackson

Criminal Court ‘A’ Judge Roosevelt Z. Willie has issued a subpoena for the Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) to testify in the high-profile Capitol arson case involving defendant Thomas Etheridge and five others.

The move follows a request by state prosecutors who asked the court to verify the authenticity of a US$6 million criminal appearance bond filed on behalf of the accused. The bond, posted by Patrick B. Coleman, was intended to secure their release from the Monrovia Central Prison.

Prosecutors cited Section 13.4 of the Criminal Procedure Law, which mandates the court to confirm that any security offered as bond is both genuine and sufficient.

Specifically, the prosecution wants the LRA to clarify details concerning property valuation documents, including a Real Estate Tax Demand Notice (No. 030398417) and a tax payment receipt (No. 598471). They also expect a response to a prior subpoena duces tecum served on the agency.

Defense lawyers objected to the prosecution's motion, arguing it was outside of standard trial procedure. However, Judge Willie overruled their objection.

Once the LRA has testified, the court is expected to entertain final arguments before ruling on whether the defendants will be released on bond.

EPA CLARIFICATION ON FRONT PAGE AFRICA AUGUST 13, 2025 PUBLICATION

The Environmental Protection Agency of Liberia (EPA) wishes to provide clarity on the recent FrontPage Africa story referencing the $15,000 fine levied against Lone Star Cell MTN for violations of the Environmental Protection and Management Law of Liberia.

As reported, the EPA cited Lone Star Cell MTN for prolonged noise pollution from its generator facility in Congo Town, following a conclusive decibel-level analysis carried out by our compliance and enforcement team. In line with the 2002 Environmental Protection and Management Law, the Agency imposed a fine of US$15,000 and, after failure to comply, was preparing to shut down the polluting generators.

However, on May 27, 2025, Lone Star Cell MTN filed a lawsuit against the EPA before the Civil Law Court in Monrovia. The EPA’s legal team, with the full backing of the Ministry of Justice, is vigorously defending the Government’s enforcement action in court.

In furtherance of this matter, last week the EPA filed a petition before the Civil Law Court to compel LoneStar Cell MTN to pay the fine as imposed by the Government through the EPA.

The EPA reaffirms its unwavering commitment to enforcing Liberia’s environmental laws without fear or favor, and to ensuring that all violators—regardless of size or affiliation—are held accountable for environmental harm. Our new state-of-the-art national environmental laboratory, recently launched, will greatly enhance our ability to scientifically substantiate such enforcement actions.

Protecting Liberia’s environment is not optional, it is essential for the health, safety, and prosperity of our people. The EPA will continue to work with the Ministry of Justice and other government institutions to ensure that polluters face the full weight of the law.
