"For importing Unknown and unlabelled medicines G2 pharmacy importation license is suspended for time indefinite".

A recent investigation by the Liberia medicines and Health products Regulatory Authority ( LMHRA) has shed light on a damaging discovery involving G2 pharmacy.

According to reports, the independent hearing board of the LMHRA received and investigated a complaint on January 22, 2025, regarding a medication error that resulted in a fatality.

The issue revolves around the sales of Bupivancaine 0.5% an anesthesia medication, which was imported into Liberia and sold by G2 pharmacy.
Shockingly, the medication label was not in English, violating LMHRA regulation on packaging.

The Liberia Medicines and Health Products Regulatory Authority (LMHRA) is the statutory agency of the Government of Liberia responsible for ensuring that all medicines and health products circulating within the country are safe, effective, and of high quality. It was established in accordance with the National Drug Policy, which called for the creation of a regulatory authority to oversee the pharmaceutical sector, enforce medicine regulations, and establish a national quality control laboratory. The Authority was officially established on September 29, 2010.

The LMHRA's inspectorate and pharmacovigilance department took swift action, revoked their imposed license for time indefinite and imposed a fined of 500usd for each pack that was wrongfully lebel, multiply by 236 packs, this cumulated to 118,000 usd, but G2 pharmacy has paid only 1000usd.

This issue raises serious concerns about the safety and efficacy of medications being sold in Liberia and highlight the need for deeper investigation in G2 pharmacy and the need for stricter enforcement for Regulatory standards for pharmacy across Liberia.

According to information, these medications were distributed to catholic, CH. Rennie in Kakata and JFK and other government hospitals across Liberia.

It can be recalled that G2 pharmacy has been involved into the importation of unknown and unlabelled medicines to Liberians, causing serious health issues..

We are calling on the LMHRA, LMDC and the ministry of Health to investigate G2 pharmacy deeper.

"Citizens Movement for Justice and Peace
in Liberia condemned CDC-COP allegations against Commissioner General Elijah Rufus".

After conducting thorough investigations, the Citizens Movement for Justice and Peace has found no evidence to support allegations made by the CDC-COP accusing Commissioner General of the Liberia Immigration Service, Elijah Rufus, of masterminding the deaths of two young Liberians, Mayoungor keleko and yarkpawolo Moisema.

The movement is concerned of the deaths of these young Liberians and other alarming deaths but it should not be politize.
(CMFJP) SPOKESMAN stated that Commissioner General Rufus has demonstrated over twenty (20) years of service, at the Liberia Immigration Service, his commitment to transparency, Peace and the rule of law, and his integrity remains intact. We believe these allegations are unfounded, baseless and lack concrete evidence and have no iota of truth.

The Citizens Movement for Justice and Peace condemned the deaths of those young Liberians and ask that investigation be conducted and perpetrator be brought to justice.

Moreover, CMFJP stands in support of justice, peace and the rule of laws, trusting that justice will prevail.
But there should be no space to politically tarnish a hard earned character of a reputable stateman in the country.
Citizens Movement for Justice and Peace call for calm and restraint as the governce process is ongoing successfully..

Mr. Momodu Zeatemah

Citizens Movement for Justice and Peace.

PRESS STATEMENT
July 8, 2025

In the wake of recent media reports suggesting that the Internal Audit Agency (IAA) engaged in corrupt practices by awarding a service contract to a Liberian-owned business, the Agency wishes to categorically refute the claims and provide the following clarifications for public record:

Contract with E-12: The IAA confirms that it entered into a three-month renewable contract with a registered Liberian company, E-12, for vehicle rental services. The agreed framework amount was US$1,950 monthly, equating to US$65 per day, with no payment made for days when services were not rendered. Notably, the IAA did not cover the cost of the driver’s salary or vehicle maintenance, and payments were made only for days that the service was rendered in the month, not a general 30 days basis.

Unauthorized Disclosure of Internal Documents: The documents circulating on social media are facsimile of IAA’s internal documents removed from our files without authorization.

Contract Expiry and New Provider: The contract with E-12 expired on June 30, 2025, and a new 3-months renewable contract has been signed with a different provider with the same terms and conditions. Had it not been for Procurement rules that limits that duration, E-12 would have been renewed for a further three months.

Service Quality and Gratuity: E-12 provided excellent service, and due to positive feedback from multiple staff members regarding the driver’s performance, he received gratuity from IAA.

Short-Term Contracting Due to Budget Constraints: Due to budgetary constraints and the need to adhere to financial regulations, the Agency could enter into nor sign a long-term contract beyond three months and has periodically rented vehicles from multiple providers, including E-12.

Operational Context: Since October 1, 2022, thru June 30, 2025, the Agency has not had a single utility vehicle and there has been no budgetary support to procure one to ferry accounts staff to the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning (MFDP) or the banks, make field visits to auditors assigned at ministries and agencies or drop off staff conducting special audits work.
No Conflict of Interest: E-12 is a registered Liberian company, and it complied with public sector rules. Neither the Director General, his spouse nor any immediate relatives are shareholders or have ever owned any stake in E-12. The Articles of Incorporation, Business Registration, Tax Clearance, etc. can be reviewed at IAA, LRA or the Business Registry.

Competitive Procurement Process: The procurement process leading up to the selection of E-12 was competitive and subjected to the same process as every other rental contract. A $65.00 daily rental price was agreed for E-12 services, which is generally the prevailing market price.
It is important to emphasize that the contracts in question were legitimately awarded and duly signed by the Deputy Director General for Administration with the full approval of the Director General, who, as head of the institution, takes full responsibility for all procurement actions undertaken.

While we view such media reports as a distraction from our core mandate of combating waste, fraud, and abuse across the public sector, just a simple inquiry as required professionally could have laid this matter to rest. Again, the media is welcomed at any time to review and verify documents relating to this, and other processes, at the IAA.

The idea that anything is impossible is an obstacle to innovation and ungodly. God said that with Him, everything is possible. Now, write this down in your diary and retain it in a secure location until it is fulfilled. This is 2025, a year of substantial transformation and breakthrough. Given that former President Charles Taylor is incarcerated for unjustified reasons, as we seek, call, and knock, the Almighty God hears a lone voice in a line call and a lone sound on the horizon, and He will take notice and show the way out. That's how attentive and great our God is. Seek, and you will find; know that the door will open, call, and you will be heard and responded to. Our God is great and Jesus is Lord. God bless Liberia.

Concern! We are under attack by some people who intend to undermine our advocacy for the release of former President Charles Taylor. A group of people, including some friends and families, but we will not relent. We have gathered information surrounding the civil war and found that the story is misconstrued by some Liberians. Let's check: Mr. Charles Taylor had nothing against any specific tribes or religion in Liberia. But here's how it started. After the military coup, which mostly involved the Krahn and Gio/Manor tribes, a leadership crisis broke out between them, with the Head of State being a Krahn man. An election was subsequently organized; during that election, most of the Mandingo tribe men pledged their support or voted for Samuel Doe, who won the election. A war broke out because of rivalry between top-ranking officials of the government, mostly Krahn and Gio/Manor, resulting in a gunfight. Charles Taylor saw that the situation was volatile and aligned with the aggrieved party, which was the Gio and Manor tribes. They could not differentiate between war and politics. In this case, the supporters of Samuel Doe's political campaign were now considered enemies in a military war they knew nothing about. This conflict eventually put tribes against tribes for no good reason. According to our investigation, Mr. Taylor doesn't have an interest in tribal conflicts. So, let's join together to fight for the release of former President Charles Taylor. God bless Liberia. Solomon Weawea, Executive Director LNHCDA.

PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE.

DEEP Concludes 6-Month Master Trainers Training Program:Empowering Educators to Drive Inclusive, High-impact Learning.

Monrovia, Liberia | June 15, 2025. The Diversified Education Empowerment Project (DEEP) proudly concluded its six-month Adults Education Facilitation Training (ECD/ECE) program with a vibrant closing ceremony help yesterday at its office located at Rose Garden Plaza, Crownhill, Monrovia, Liberia. The milestone program marked the graduation of 13 master trainers who are now equipped to lead the charge in transforming early childhood education across their communities. The 6-month program is a single phase of DEEP’s 12-month Master Trainers Trainer Training program.

Launched a six months ago, Adult Education Facilitation was designed to strengthen foundational learning through a cadre of expert trainers skilled in delivering inclusive, culturally responsive, and developmentally appropriate early childhood education. The program focused on equipping participants with critical knowledge in child development, play-base learning, inclusive education strategies, health and nutrition awareness, and caregiver engagement.
In his remark at the closing ceremony, Dr. Moses Blonkanjay Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of DEEP, said: “We (DEEP) have set you up and we know you are fully equipped for the task. Having said that, we will now be looking forward to what you will do. Please feel free to contact us for any assistance along the way.”

The training combined theoretical modules with hands-on practicum, mentorship, and community-base fieldwork. Trainees engage with experts, collaborated on local education solutions, and participated in early learning center visits to observe best practices in action.
One of the graduating participants, Mr. James Maxime Pewu, from Lofa, share his excitement and extended a warm gratitude to the staff and administration of DEEP for their life-long impact on every participant. He made the remark on behalf of the graduating class.”

With the successful completion of this program, DEEP’s newly certified master trainers will begin cascading their training to early childhood educators, caregivers, and community facilitators, impacting thousands of children during the most critical years of their development.
Looking ahead, DEEP announced plans to establish a National ECD Resource Network to support continuous learning, peer collaboration, and knowledge sharing among trainers and educators. The initiative aims to ensure sustainability and scalability of early childhood interventions across underserve areas.
The DEEP team expresses heartfelt appreciation to all implanting partners, stakeholders, and supporters who contributed to the success of the program.

Update:

Hon.Solomon Weawea writes 👇👇👇

Good morning Liberia! Let's discuss and analyze the market and US rate in the money market. Why is the market hard and the US rate keep going up? Here we go. When Ellen Johnson Sirleaf began her presidency in 2006, the market was booming for the following reasons. That was the period of reconstruction, so the international community put $16 billion and more into the economy. That big money was circulating in the country during her regime, so everything was good because civil servants were getting big paychecks on time. During Dr. George Weah's regime, half of the big money was still circulating in the country; after his 6-year term, the money was exhausted. Now President Joseph Boakai has started, and unfortunately, no big money is coming in anymore. We have used the money to chill without development. And the next thing is overpopulation. The city is densely populated; all our farmers are in the capital city instead of farming to bring greens and other food stuff to the market. The little paychecks are not enough to accommodate the population, a big liability on the economy. What can the government do? Resettle and reintegrate our people in the rural community and assist them in settling back into farming institutions. Most of them don't want to live in the city. I did this assessment during the campaign period while I was in Liberia. God bless Liberia. Solomon Weawea, Executive Director LNHCDA.

Hon. Solomon Weawea writes 👇👇👇

Attention All Liberians! We want to warn any group of people who want to obstruct justice that Liberia is not a country of men but of law. Having even 80 percent of the population on your side doesn't give you the right to obstruct justice. So, we are urging all the young people not to allow themselves to be used in unreasonable protests that will create chaos. You will get nothing from the protest but damage to life and property. We have had enough; we don't want that in Liberia. Honorable HonCllr J Fonati Koffa going to jail shouldn't be a big thing, that's what makes him a Hero. He fought the first battle in the court, and he won. He must face the second battle and fight to win, and this is the second and final fight. Now, here is our position. We're calling on the justice ministry/ The Liberia National Police to exercise restraint, look at the complexity of the case. The police also have their share in this case. The capital was declared a conflict by the police, and they deployed security forces to protect the area. If something sinister went on there without an arrest, basing your case on outside evidence is not strong enough to make your case. Something may have gone wrong to implicate the wrong person. So, we want to call on counsellor Taiwan Gongloe to step in now and find an alternative way to resolve this issue. Liberia is our shared heritage. God bless Liberia. Solomon weawea Executive Director LNHCDA.
