Liberia: Charles Sirleaf, Son of Ex-President Sirleaf Is Dead!

Monrovia – Charles Sirleaf, the son of former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, passed away in Ghana at the age of 68. Mr. Sirleaf, who served as the acting governor of the Central Bank of Liberia, died in his sleep. His death, confirmed by a family source on Monday, has left many in shock and sorrow.

By Jaheim Tumu

Mr. Sirleaf was a prominent figure in Liberia’s financial sector, serving as Deputy Governor and Acting Executive Governor under three presidents and an interim government from 2004 to 2020. During his tenure, he was known for his efforts to stabilize the country’s economy and implement critical financial reforms.
Details surrounding his death have not been fully disclosed, with the family requesting privacy during this difficult time.
Charles Sirleaf served as Deputy Governor for Operations at the Central Bank of Liberia from 2012 to 2020. During this period, he temporarily held the position of Executive Governor following the resignation of then-Governor Mill Jones. After Governor Milton Weeks’ appointment as Executive Governor, Sirleaf returned to his post as Deputy Governor for Operations. His second tenure was marred by a series of financial scandals, including allegations of printing excess banknotes outside of the law. He was appointed and commissioned in February 2016 to a five-year tenure but was dismissed in 2018 when the CDC-led government took office.
Mr. Charles Sirleaf was among several Central Bank Governors charged in connection with the alleged unlawful printing of local currency worth millions of dollars that reportedly disappeared in 2018. The former bank officials indicted in the case included Former Governor Milton Weeks, Finance Director Dorbor M. Hagba, Director of Operations Richard H. Walker, and Deputy Director of Internal Audit Joseph Dennis. While the legal process was ongoing, President Weah appointed Madam Pearson to the position of Deputy Bank Governor for Operations, though her confirmation was delayed due to the legal proceedings surrounding Mr. Sirleaf.
Before his tenure at the Central Bank, Charles Sirleaf held various significant roles: Director of Finance at CBL (2006-2012), Manager for Banking and Debt Management (2004-2006), Special Assistant/Assistant Minister at the Ministry of Finance (2000-2003), President of the National Housing and Savings Bank (1998-2003), and Special Assistant to the Resident Representative at the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Namibia (1996-1998). He was also Vice President of the National Housing and Savings Bank (1993-1996), an Instructor of Economics at the University of Liberia (UL) (1998-2006), Manager for Business Development and Trade at Meridien BIAO Bank, Liberia Ltd (1992-1993), Manager at Citicorp Credit Corporation in Atlanta, Georgia, USA (1990-1992), and Manager at Citizens and Southern Bank (C&S) in Atlanta, Georgia, USA (1987-1990).
Regarding his educational background, Mr. Charles Sirleaf earned an MBA in Finance from Mercer University in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, and a high school certificate from the College of West Africa.

Cllr. Sayma Syrenius Cephus Esq
Official writes president George Weah

OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT WEAH

Dear Mr. President,

I present my profound compliments and wish to inform Your Excellency that Liberia’s current democratic gains which culminated into Your Excellency’s recent decision to graciously concede defeat in a free, fair and competitive contest, are being grossly undermined by the current waves of economic sanctions being imposed by the US Treasury Department on a number of officials in Your Excellency’s government.

Your Excellency’s government is on the verge of leaving power with a horde of falsely decorated “corrupt officials” something which I suspect will not only obviously overshadow Liberia’s current democratic credentials on the world stage but could later hunt and hurt you so badly that your future bid, (if will ever happen again), for the highest office in this country could become a laughing stock.

As I indicated from the onset, and which obviously led you to receive a counter advice from your Justice Minister Frank Musa Dean to “play low” and let the sanctioned officials including me “cry their own cry”, this thing is getting serious, and it is all happening around you, and yet, there is no action taken, which is why every sanctioned official looks like a “convicted criminal,” although without trial.

Then as now, I hereby beseech Your Excellency to immediately commission a Panel of International Experts, chair by ECOWAS and Co-chair by a Liberian, and should be drawn from the Liberian National Bar(LNBA), the African Bar, the European Criminal Bar Association(ECBA), the International Criminal Court Criminal (ICC), and at least retired officials from OFAC, and an observer from the African Union(AU) to investigate these sanctions against not just mere individuals in your government but core officials of your government.

Excellency, I am totally innocent of what I was accused of, but my mere denial or dismissal of these allegations, as in the case of other officials, is not sufficient to set me free or to set anyone free, until I can have “my day in court” which is a cardinal constitutional benchmark of due process under Liberian law.

I trust that Your Excellency will not again sweep this suggestion under the carpet because I believe, and which is now true, that the proverbial “town trap" is not for “rat alone.” How sad is it that so many “rats” have been caught, and others are apprehensive and jittery, and scurrying for cover because they do not know where the “chips may fall” next, is a crude lesson that we all must learn as we await our fate!

Thanks.

Cllr. Sayma Syrenius Cephus Esq.

How Some Foreign Investors are Damaging Africa’s Image – the Case of “Jeety” in Liberia

The past years have proven that many African nations are not as bad as the foreign and local media project them to be. What is clear is that misinformation has and continues to destroy the image of many African countries, including Liberia and Sierra Leone.

From being branded as corrupt and ungovernable to being filled with hunger, disease, poverty, and deprivation, Africa, in general, continues to suffer from bad press and some not-so-good intention businesspeople like Upjit Singh Sachdeva, commonly known as “Jeety” in Liberia, who work to paint a bad image of Liberia and Sierra Leone by dictating negative narratives with misinformation in the local media. The true cost of “Jeety’s” misinformation is negative portrayers of African countries (Liberia and Sierra Leone) in the global community.

The regrettable underpinning is that some in the African media, as well as the governance structure and political domain, are doing little or nothing to rein in the flow of bad press and frivolous headlines dictated by self-seeking individuals, especially when the press or news headlines are artificially designed and manufactured by non-African and foreign businesspeople who would, under no condition, do a similar bad press for their native countries.

This is the case of Sierra Leone and Liberia-based Indian millionaire businessman Dr. Upjit Singh Sachdeva (Jeety). According to reliable sources and fact-finding, Upjit Singh Sachdeva, known as Jeety in Liberia and Sierra Leone, has and continues to frame and lie about his fellow Indian nationals to authorities and the media in both Sierra Leone and Liberia. He has engineered the unwarranted deportation of some of his fellow Indians in the Indian Community of Liberia because they stood up to his manipulation and control for power in the Indian Community in the subregion. Over the past years, the Indian Community demanded that Liberia and India foster a full-blown embassy-to-embassy diplomatic relationship, that demand terminated the Honorary Consular-ship of Upjit Singh Sachdeva (Jeety), especially after the Indian Foreign Ministry acted on the complaints of Indians in Liberia and Sierra Leone and removed Upjit Singh Sachdeva (Jeety) from the “Honorary Consul General” position he once held. Since then, Upjit Singh Sachdeva (Jeety) has instigated the removal and deportation of some of his fellow Indian nationals from Liberia through misinformation and bribery and has also engaged in a destructive paid media campaign against some of his fellow Indian countrymen branding them as terrorists and criminals and national security threats to both Sierra Leone and Liberia.

Sachdeva (Jeety), a foreigner.

Finally, there are committed, serious, and dedicated men and women in the governments of Liberia and Sierra Leone who are, day in and out, going above and beyond to do good things that will not only change the lives of their people and respective countries but present a better image. Upjit Singh Sachdeva’s (Jeety) motives and his financial ability to work with a few bad apples to get the reputation of the governments of Sierra Leone and Liberia tainted and dominate the media space denigrating his fellow Indian nationals sends a message that bribery and corruption facilitated by powerful foreign businessmen can cause unnecessary narrative and generate baseless media headlines. The Liberian and Sierra Leonean media should not fall prey to this if they value transparent journalism because, over the years, the media in Liberia and Sierra Leone have demonstrated a dedication and commitment to responsible, fair, and independent journalism. They must keep it that way. They should not allow the personal ego of a foreign businessman to pollute the narrative coming out of the region, especially from a man like Upjit Singh Sachdeva (Jeety) who thinks he owns the subregion – especially Liberia and Sierra Leone. Lastly, the authorities in Sierra Leone and Liberia must not permit foreigners to do in their respective nations what their citizens cannot and will never be able to do in the country of such foreigners. Upjit Singh Sachdeva (Jeety) must not take Sierra Leone and Liberia for a joke! Sierra Leone and Liberia appreciate the businesses that Upjit Singh Sachdeva (Jeety) is doing in both countries. However, that gives him no room to do what he feels he can at will, especially against his fellow Indian Community members.

Justice Ministry Critizes Infamous Drug Trial Verdict

[For Immediste Release: May 21, 2023] The Ministry of Justice has described as appalling the not guilty verdict of Criminal Court “A” of the first judicial Circuit of Montserrado County at the Temple of Justice presided over by Judge A. Blamo Dixon in the 100-million drug bust trial.

Justice Minister Frank Musah Dean Jr says the verdict clearly undermines the collective efforts of Liberia and its international coalition to clamp down on the illegal transit of illicit drugs using West Africa as the conduit to trade narcotics internationally from Latin America and elsewhere.

He said for Liberia to play its role effectively in this international fight against drug trafficking, money laundering, and other crimes associated with illicit drug transportation and sale, all three branches of the government must take this fight as a collective responsibility and not just the executive.

“If the Executive through the Joint Security of the country, working in concert with their international counterparts, is ramping up the strife to apprehend and bring to book illicit drug traffickers and money launderers, our drug laws must compliment such efforts through appropriate legislations, and the courts must be ready to act in conformity with the laws and gravity of the breach of our laws” Liberia's Attorney General asserted.

He said it becomes worrisome and shameful as in the case of the recent verdict, for the courts to be setting hardcore criminals free when the evidence is overwhelming in the face of international security collaboration that tracked and brought the perpetrators of this heinous crime before the law.

“There was 100-million USD worth of drug stacked in a container that landed in Monrovia and the accused were caught red-handed attempting to take ownership of the container holding the illicit drug by attempting to bribe the businessman housing the container, yet the court through the empaneled 12-man jury said such brazen evidence didn’t warrant a guilty verdict. What more can the joint security and the Justice Ministry do to convince the court that the law was broken” he retorted

Minister Dean said what is even more concerning and despicable is the fact that these kinds of verdicts only lend credence to the widely held international and local perception that the judiciary-namely the courts are inherently compromised and it has again ignited the lingering debate of whether the judicial system should continue with the age-old jury-trial process when there are always talks about the unethical practice of jury tampering during such trials.

The Justice Minister said the ruling has also brought Liberia to international ridicule. He said even more lampooning is the fact that hours after the verdict and the release of the defendants by Judge A Blamo Dixon, the four men have now absconded.

He wondered why the men would flee or hide if they truly believed that they had committed no criminal offence. This is sickening, he said.

“ The court ordered the return of the two-hundred thousand United States dollars seized by the joint security during the arrest of the four men, so why are they not around to receive their money, if they know they have nothing to run from” the Attorney General Dean questioned.

Meanwhile, the joint security is now continuing to mount its search for the four men who continue to remain at large.

In October last year, a huge consignment of 520-kilograms drugs with a street value of about U.S.$100 million was seized by the Joint Security of Liberia through an international security collaboration involving the American and Brazilian Authorities.

For several years, West Africa has been a transit zone for narcotic drugs produced in Latin America destined for Europe and other parts of the world.
