Ex-Pres. Weah’s Protocol Chief, Finda Bundoo, Other Former Officials Order Arrested In High-Profile Corruption Case

Assets Recovery Task Force Flexes Its Muscles With Court Order

By Garmah Never Lomo, [email protected]

Monrovia, Liberia- November 7, 2025 – In a bold move against alleged financial crimes, Liberian authorities have issued arrest and seizure orders targeting former government officials and top business figures in one of the country’s most high-profile corruption cases in recent years.

The First Judicial Circuit, Criminal Court “C” for Montserrado County, acting on an indictment from the Assets Recovery & Property Retrieval Task Force (AREPT) and the Ministry of Justice, has named several prominent defendants.

Among them are former Deputy Minister and Chief of Protocol, Nora Finda Bundoo; her daughter, Anita Pamela Jallah, CEO of Anita Group of Companies Inc.; Francis T. Blamo, Manager of Gracious Ride; and dozens of other staff linked to Anita Business Center and its subsidiaries. Other high-ranking officials implicated include Thelma E. Ducan Sawyer, Deputy Minister for Administration at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and G. Edmund Ponpon Jr., Policy Analyst at the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.

The Grand Jury of Montserrado County has charged the defendants with money laundering, theft of property, misuse of public resources, criminal conspiracy, forgery, and criminal facilitation. Court orders authorize Sheriff Major Austine Seinavula and his deputies to arrest the accused and seize assets connected to them.

Properties listed include residential compounds, office buildings, and multi-storey structures across Montserrado County, covering Christopolis Community, Brewerville City; Rehab Community, Paynesville City; Caldwell Township; Zubah Town; Marshall City; and Johnsonville, Kpelle Town. Authorities have confirmed that Thelma E. Ducan Sawyer, G. Edmund Ponpon Jr., and Saah S. Johnson have already been detained at the Monrovia Central Prison.

The court emphasized that all defendants must appear before it, and official returns of arrests and seizures are to be filed.

Legal analysts say the action represents a decisive escalation in Liberia’s fight against corruption, signaling that even senior public officials and corporate executives are not beyond the reach of the law.

War Of Words Between Civilian And Security Officials In Gran Kru County
Grand Kru County Administrator And Police Commander Make Claim And Counter Claims—But Who’s Telling The Truth?

By James Myking Suah

The Police Chief of Grand Kru in southeastern Liberia has strongly criticized County Administrator, Alphonso Teah who he claims is selling the Police vehicle that was parked in Dougbo due to mechanical defaults.

According to Clement Barlatt, Assistant Commissioner of Police and County Commander in Grand Kru, his duties entail pursuing activities that are prohibited by law and exposing individuals involved in illicit transactions.

"He had a problem with me, I don't have a problem with him, I was just doing my work. My assignment here is to make sure to stop everything that the laws forbid, Then, he is taking phone calls all around the place complaining about me, and in fact, everyone has the right to complain. He was able to change my assignment, If there was a problem, then at a time like this, I could be in Monrovia by now.

Even if it is true, you complained someone, then you will be all around, everybody gets the right to file complaints and levied allegations against someone, but to substantiate, them Clement Barlatt said.

The County police official communicated to Ahteenah Radio during a phone interview on Wednesday morning that the Grand Kru County Administrator, Alphonso Teah, is accused of coercing individuals from the Dougbo community to present false and unfounded allegations against him at the Liberia National Police headquarters in Monrovia.

ACP Barlatt confirmed that his central office contacted him, and he justified his actions. He further narrated that during former President George Weah's regime, a police car was parked in the Dougbo community, when one of the higher-ups traveled with the president in 2023.
And he said that the car experienced a breakdown and has since been parked within Trehn Statutory District.

"They sold that car to three people which, according to him, GSA gave him. Alphonso Teah ordered the car to be removed from Dougbo to Barclayville, and I said no. I called the commissioner of police, my direct supervisor, who gave instructions that the car be taken to the nearest police station. Mr. Teah and I argued about it, not knowing they had sold the police vehicle.

Clement Barlatt voiced out that the Grand Kru County Administrator allegedly contacted the General Services Agency that the vehicle was abandoned, such claims that the County Police Commander refuted and told authorities of GSA that the car was not abandoned as claimed by Alphonso Teah.

"Even the gentleman they sold the car to, began pleading with me and I told him it was above me and that's police prosperity, and the car was later retrieved from the buyer in Behwwan. If you know your ethics, scope of operations, you will not intervene with others,” the Police ACP asserts.

The police chief also accused Alphonso Teah of selling a company container, but declined to call the organization 's name to the public. Barlatt indicated that said container was seized and is currently being held by police authorities in Barclayville.

The Officer in Charge of the Police Detachment in Grand Kru County advised the County Administrator, Alphonso Teah to complain about something he had the right to, but not one that is above his jurisdiction.

At the same time, the local Police Commander accused the county administrator of selling scraps in Chamgbetee.

The Assistant Commissioner of Police, Clement Barlatt , intimated that Teah's allegations against him are based on petty malice and hatred. He continued by saying the kind of recordings and messages I have in possession of him are scaring.

Recently, Alphonso Teah filed a complaint against the Grand Kru County Police Commander Clement Barlatt for defamation of character over allegations of selling police cars, containers, and scraps within the county.

He clarified that it was the Dougbo people who complained the police chief to Central. He said his part of the complaint was predicated upon the Commander accusing him of engaging in the sale of both government and private properties.

Case Against Miss Liberia Contestant Kindness Wilson Back In Court
Monrovia City Court Reverses Dismissal, Reinstates Assault Charges
PHOTO: Miss Kindness Wilson
TEMPLE OF JUSTICE, Monrovia- In a major courtroom turnaround, the Monrovia City Court has reinstated criminal charges against Kindness Wilson, overturning an earlier dismissal that had cleared her of allegations of assault and disorderly conduct.

This case dates back to March 31, 2025, when the private prosecutrix, Junsel Cos, accused Wilson of slapping and physically assaulting her on the campus of Stella Maris Polytechnic following a verbal altercation. The complaint further alleged that Wilson threatened the complainant and publicly insulted her in a manner intended to cause humiliation.

The latest decision, rendered by Stipendiary Magistrate L. Ben Barco, followed the granting of the prosecution’s Motion for Relief from Judgment, effectively rescinding the court’s prior ruling and returning the matter to the active trial docket.

Magistrate Barco ruled that the earlier dismissal was clouded by procedural oversights, stressing that “technical errors must never defeat the ends of justice.” He cited the Criminal and Civil Procedure Laws of Liberia, which permit courts to revisit final judgments in cases of mistake, newly discovered evidence, or inadvertent omission.

Prosecution’s Argument

Arguing for the state, Cllr. Moriah Korkpor said the priorly dismissal was based solely on the case file, without consideration of oral arguments and procedural efforts. She detailed that prosecutors had already presented five witnesses, including eyewitnesses and a school investigative report, along with video evidence supporting the assault allegations.

Korkpor told the court that delays in hearing the matter were due to a congested docket and administrative delays, not prosecutorial neglect. She maintained that Rule 9—which governs the time limits for cases in magisterial courts—was misapplied, noting that had the court granted earlier requests for assignment, the statutory period would have been met.

Defense Reaction

Defense lawyer Atty. Jeremiah Samuel Dugbo I, representing Wilson, countered that the prosecution’s motion was procedurally defective, as the State had already filed an appeal. He further argued that no sheriff’s affidavit was presented to substantiate claims of earlier assignment requests. Dugbo maintained that the prosecution had waived its right to relief by failing to promptly notify the judge of alleged administrative delays.
Background of the Case

The case dates back to March 31, 2025, when the private prosecutrix, Junsel Cos, accused Wilson of slapping and physically assaulting her on the campus of Stella Maris Polytechnic following a verbal altercation. The complaint further alleged that Wilson threatened the complainant and publicly insulted her in a manner intended to cause humiliation.

Wilson was subsequently charged with Simple Assault, Menacing, and Disorderly Conduct in violation of Sections 14.21, 14.25, and 17.3 of the New Penal Law of Liberia. She pleaded not guilty, prompting the prosecution to begin its case, which was later delayed—leading to the initial dismissal for “prosecutorial inaction.”

Court’s Analysis and Decision

The court noted that while final judgments are generally binding, exceptions exist where a material fact or legal principle was overlooked. Magistrate Barco agreed that the record showed active prosecutorial engagement and that administrative backlog contributed to the delay.

Quoting from his ruling, the magistrate said:

“Justice must not be defeated by procedural technicalities. The duty of the court is to ensure that every party is accorded due process, consistent with Article 21 of our Constitution.”

The reinstatement of the case means Wilson will now face a full trial as prosecutors seek to prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt. The matter has been placed back on the court’s docket, with hearings expected to resume in the coming weeks.

Liberia Lo Launch Landmark Natural Capital Atlas At COP30

Monrovia, Liberia – November 7, 2025- The Government of Liberia, through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is set to unveil the Natural Capital Atlas of Liberia—a groundbreaking publication and immersive documentary—at COP30 in Belém, Brazil, a UNDP press release says.

Developed in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Forestry Development Authority, the Ministry of Information, Cultural Affairs & Tourism, and consultants from International Focus (IF) Magazine, the Atlas is a data-driven tool that showcases Liberia’s rich biodiversity, ecosystem services, and potential for sustainable tourism and investment.

Led by EPA Executive Director Dr. Emmanuel K. Urey Yarkpawolo, the initiative combines scientific data, community knowledge, and visual storytelling to promote conservation, green investment, and climate action.

It aligns with Liberia’s commitments under the Paris Agreement, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the ARREST Agenda.

On November 10, 2025, at Liberia’s Pavilion at COP30 in Brazil, the Government will officially launch two key instruments:
• Liberia’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) 3.0 and
• The Natural Capital Atlas of Liberia

This strategic launch aims to elevate Liberia’s environmental profile, attract climate finance, and foster global partnerships for conservation and sustainable development.

The Atlas is complemented by a high-quality documentary titled: “Liberia: The Natural Beauty and Wonders – A Crown for the World. COP30 and Beyond.”

This visual narrative captures Liberia’s breathtaking landscapes and biodiversity, positioning the country as a global leader in conservation and sustainable development.

The objectives of the Initiative are to attract foreign investment, promote eco-tourism, and reinforce Liberia’s commitment to sustainable resource management

Hon. Dehpue Y. Zuo, Deputy Minister for Economic Management at the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning, will lead a high-level delegation to COP30. The Atlas and documentary will be presented to world leaders, climate advocates, and investors.

The launch event highlights excerpts from the documentary, showcases the Atlas, and features panel discussions with key stakeholders and international partners

This marks a historic moment for Liberia—signaling a renewed vision for environmental stewardship and a bold step forward on the global climate stage.

About the Atlas
The Natural Capital Atlas of Liberia captures the country’s diverse ecosystems—from lush rainforests and vibrant wildlife to river systems and geological formations.

It serves as both a conservation tool and an open invitation to the world to explore and invest in Liberia’s natural wealth—responsibly and sustainably.

Court Orders Former Deputy Former Min. Thelma Sawyer To Surrender Her Passport—Why?By Garmah Never Lomo, garmahlomo@gmai...

Court Orders Former Deputy Former Min. Thelma Sawyer To Surrender Her Passport—Why?
By Garmah Never Lomo, [email protected]
TEMPLE OF JUSTICE, Monrovia-Criminal Court ‘C’ Judge Osama Feika, has ordered former Deputy Foreign Minister, Thalma Sawye, who is facing corruption allegations, to surrender her passport and report to the court every Wednesday.

The instruction came following a findings that Mrs. Sawyer allegedly, wife of the late former Interim President, Dr. Amos Sawyer, lied to the court regarding the duration of her medical leave, overstaying her approved absence by 15 days without prior notice. Her legal team has admitted the breach, describing it as a mistake on their part.

Mrs. Sawyer and several others were recently in court in connection to a case involving alleging theft of 25,054 bags of rice, valued at USD $425,918.00, donated by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for disaster victims in Liberia during the former George Weah government.

Defendant Sawyer initially requested a one-month medical leave in September, but failed to notify the court of her extended absence. The court’s order forms part of ongoing proceedings into claims that she deceived judicial authorities and violated the terms of her release.

In a separate motion, the Ministry of Justice and the Asset Recovery and Property Retriever Task Force petitioned the court to revoke her bail bond filed for Sawyer and other co-defendants, requesting her recommitment to the Monrovia Central Prison, citing violations of legal procedure.

In August this year, defendant Sawyer and several others were arrested and temporarily detained at the Monrovia Central prison in connection to corruption case involving the alleged theft of 25,054 bags of rice, valued at USD $425,918.00, donated by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for disaster victims in Liberia.

Earlier this year, the Grand Jury for Montserrado County indicted 12 current and former government officials on multiple criminal charges, including:

• Mary Broh, former GSA Director General
• Dee Maxwell Saah Kemayah, Sr., former Foreign Minister
• Thalma Sawyer, former Deputy Minister
• Henry O. Williams, former NDMA Director
• Among others

The accused were arrested in June and initially remanded to the Monrovia Central Prison, before being temporarily released under human sureties, with a deadline to file valid Criminal Appearance Bonds by July 4, 2025.

A bond valued at USD $851,840.00 was filed by American Underwriter Group, Inc. (AUG) on behalf of Mary Broh, Dee Maxwell Kemayah, Thalma Sawyer, Edris Bility, Momolu Johnson, and Varney Sirleaf

OP-ED: Politics Must Not Stall Developments!!
PHOTO: Hotel Africa today lies in ruins
By Joe Noutoua Wandah, Media Advocate/Contributing Writer
Some 35 years, ago the Government of Liberia through the stewardship of the late Rev. Dr. Williams Richard Tolbert under the True Wings Party Government invested millions of tax payers’ dollars alongside the Organization of African Unity (OAU) to host one of its historic meetings of the Organization. It brought together the then top Presidents within the Continent of Africa for deliberations for the betterment of the Organization in Liberia.
This construction of this Hotel Africa project brought proud to Liberia in term of jobs creations, its location, landscape which attracted more tourist's, created jobs for thousands of Liberians before and after the OAU summit which also infused millions of dollars into the Liberian economic!
I vividly recalled, the famous Bakadi disco nightclub which features international artists and dis jockeys and my late older sister once worked in the house keeping department at this ultramodern hotel which was classed as a five-star hotel up to international standard! Fast forward, the greed's for power of both politicians and enlisted men of the Armed forces of Liberia trigger what was referred to as coup d'etat took placed with the then President Williams R. Tolbert being brutally murdered with additional 13 top notch members of his government killed in cold blood tied to the light poles shot at point-blank range at the infamous Barclay training center in central Monrovia!
The so-called military junta alongside its political criminals took possession of these beautiful villlas meant for high profile personalities from around the World for individual usage's against its so purposes which it was built for!
Then, came the more shocking moments to the Liberia people with the total involvement of those greedy geniuses in disguise as politicians who played on the ignorance of those disgruntled enlisted men and women. They felled off fwith the military junta and ran into exiled for survival went into trainings sponsored by some well-meaning Liberians residing in the diaspora headed by some well-known Liberian political greedy geniuses!
These eras, in the history of Liberia saw this once eyes catching wonder of Africa being looted by the very citizenry's of Liberia down to the bare floors of this five story skyline building and its villas which was overlooking the beautiful Atlantic ocean with a well build sea defense wall!
After these series of wantons killing sprees in Liberia, Liberians both home and returnees decided to move on this vast properties on the Hotel Africa knowing fully well that they are illegal occupant's with constructions of dwelling places and privately own businesses including schools for all those squatter's!
Successes regimes have been playing politics because of votes to the detriments of the Nation(Liberia) developments with all of her infrastructure has been damaged with nothing to show herself in attracting investments!
Now, that this Unity party led regime has find it expedient to revisit restoring the skeleton of this building (Hotel Africa) to its pre-war status! Unfortunately, Liberians again are crying crocodile tears using their representatives to proffers their so-called plights against the development of this prime historical properties that stand to bring glory back to this Nation!
With about two years to active
political maneuverings so-called politicians and their political prostitutes are again joining voices in preaching their so-called advocacies for these illegal occupant's/ squatter's indicating that the government is not sensitive to their so-called plights!
Development in its totality comes along with pains especially for illegal squatters who for no just reasons thought to forcefully convert State properties to their own knowing the faith that awaits them in the not distance future!
Liberians in general always blamed the wars for the damages done to their properties thus making it impossible for survival for them and those options at their disposal’s illegal occupancies of States properties!
These actions on the part of squatter's by deliberately building on the landscape of the Hotel Africa's properties which has and continues stalled the revemping of this once historical properties must come to an closure with all illegal occupant's packing off these properties in giving ways for developments for the betterment of the Country!
This regime must not allow political sentiments to cloud their judgements because they want to complete twelve years as per the Liberian election’s laws!
History will judge them positively, if only they get States infrastructures damaged rebuilt as the result of the so-called tribal cleansing called civil wars that left negative scars on the conscious of the entire Nation to its pre-war status!

NPA Let Off The Hook: Cleared By Labour Court Clears In Wrongful Dismissal CaseBy Garmah Never Lomo, garmahlomo@gmail.co...

NPA Let Off The Hook: Cleared By Labour Court Clears In Wrongful Dismissal Case
By Garmah Never Lomo, [email protected]

Monrovia, Liberia – The National Labor Court has ruled in favor of the National Port Authority (NPA), overturning a Labour Ministry’s decision that had held the entity liable for the alleged wrongful dismissal of its former Financial Comptroller, Gabriel Bull.

Delivering the ruling this week, Judge Joseph M. Kollie set aside an earlier decision by Hearing Officer Boakai A. Sheriff, who had ordered the NPA to reinstate Mr. Bull or pay him more than US$280,000 in compensation and benefits.

The case stemmed from Mr. Bull’s complaint accusing the NPA of unfair labor practices.
However, the Authority, represented by Managing Director Hon. Sekou Dukuly, petitioned the court for judicial review, arguing that the dismissal was lawful and based on evidence of serious financial misconduct discovered through internal audits.

Employer’s Right Under Decent Work Act

Judge Kollie focused on two main issues: whether an employer can summarily dismiss an employee for grave misconduct without an internal investigation, and whether the Ministry’s award of compensation was supported by sufficient evidence.

Citing Sections 14.3 and 14.4 of the Decent Work Act, the court ruled that an employer may terminate an employee immediately for grave misconduct once such misconduct is proven.
“The Legislature did not intend to make internal investigation a condition precedent under Section 14.3,” Judge Kollie explained. “While employers must prove misconduct, the law does not require an internal procedure in such cases.”

Evidence of Financial Irregularities

Testimonies from NPA Internal Auditor Edwin Constance and Deputy Comptroller Lawrence Dahn pointed to several questionable transactions under Mr. Bull’s supervision, including:

An unauthorized US$59,000 payment to the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC);

A L$350,000 transfer to Norfolk Marina without Board approval; and

A US$50,000 payment to Bashir Business Center made in violation of procurement laws.

The court noted that Mr. Bull failed to rebut the testimonies despite being given opportunities to respond.

Court Rejects Compensation Claims

Judge Kollie further ruled that the compensation and benefits ordered by the Ministry of Labor were unsupported by documentary evidence.
Quoting the Supreme Court’s 1988 precedent FDA v. Walters, he reminded that “allegations, no matter how persuasive, are not proof without evidence.”

Final Judgment

Concluding the case, the Labor Court declared the NPA’s dismissal of Mr. Bull lawful and justified under the Decent Work Act.
“Petitioner (NPA) is not liable for payment of compensation to the respondent, Gabriel Bull,” Judge Kollie stated. “And it is hereby so ordered.”

The judgment was signed and sealed at the National Labor Court in Monrovia in October 2025.
