Dozens of citizens in Garmue Town, Panta District have been made homeless as a result of a rainstorm disaster.

The incident which occurred Saturday evening, March 10, 2024 de-roofed more than 88 houses, destroyed thousands worth of valuable properties.

No human casualties were reported so far.

Speaking to this platform following the incident, the victims, many of whom are local farmers expressed sadness over the situation, with a call to the Liberian Government through the National Disaster Management Agency to come to their aid.

They named zinc, nails, planks, cement among others as some materials needed for the speedy renovation of their damaged houses.

Some of the victims told our reporter that if anything is not done about the situation soon, many of them will end up sleeping on their various farms in the coming days.

President Boakai Issues Executive Order #127 Exempting LWSC From Customs Duties

March 18, 2024

President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., has issued an Executive Order to exempt the Liberia Water & Sewer Corporation (LWSC) from paying customs duties on certain items. This is to ensure that clean and safe drinking water remains affordable and accessible to the public.

The items exempted from customs duties include diesel fuel for operations and production, rotatable and consumable spares for operations, low-lift, and high-lift pumps for use at the water treatment plants, water treatment chemicals and chlorinators, and laboratory apparatus for water treatment facilities at White Plains Water Treatment Plant and Outstations.

The Executive Order, numbered #127, was issued on Thursday, March 14, 2024. It also exempts heavy-duty equipment, such as water and sewer trucks, asphalt cutters, jackhammers, leak detectors, valves (air relief, surge, and line), presumed sewer cleaners, high-pressure assorted pipes and fittings, flow and water meters, heavy and light-duty vehicles, and generators, from customs duty payment.

This Executive Order takes over from the previous Executive Order ( #109) that has since expired which served a similar purpose. It emphasizes the need for continuous provision and distribution of clean and safe drinking water and the maintenance of an effective sewer system to prevent potential disease outbreaks and other communicable diseases.

The order aims to maintain tariffs at an affordable cost for citizens, as sanitation is a crucial component of the Government’s ARREST Agenda and commitment to sustaining an adequate water supply and controlling the overflow of sewage in the streets of Monrovia and other parts of the Country.

Forty-Three Months Undeserved Pay?

B**g TV Online has obtained the Petitioner’s Petition of the Writ of Prohibition against the Government of Liberia and Dr. Emmanuel K. Urey Yarkpawolo, Acting Executive Director of the Environmental Protection Agency of Liberia (EPA), which has halted all functions of the EPA boss pending a Return to the Honorable Supreme Court, presided over by His Honor, Associate Justice Yussuf Kaba.

In his petition, which copy is in the possession of B**g TV , Prof. Wilson Tarpeh argued that he has 43 months remaining and therefore, should be paid for it.

His argument is based on a commissioning certificate that has the same date of October 2, 2020 as his appointment letter date, which legal minds say such speedy appointment, Senate confirmation and commissioning has never happened in Liberian history.

Legal minds are also wondering how was it possible for him to go through Senate confirmation if the Act creating the EPA does not call for Senate confirmation of the Executive Director of the EPA but through recruitment by the Policy Council.

In quoting Part III Section 16 of the EPA Act in count 4 of his petition, Prof. Tarpeh wrote;
“That the Act creating the Environmental Protection states in clear and unequivocal terms under section 16 : 1) There shall be an Executive Director who is a person with wide environmental knowledge and recognized comment to sustainable management of the environment, appointed by the President from a list of three names recommended by the Council, except that the President may appoint an interim Executive Director pending the formation of the Council; 2) The Executive Director shall serve for a period of 7 years and shall be eligible for reappointment, except that there shall be appointed an interim Executive Director.

We have also gathered that Prof. Tarpeh was never appointed from a list of 3 persons submitted by the Policy Council as mandated by the law creating the EPA. The Weah administration did not constitute the National Environmental Policy Council, which is responsible for recruiting the Executive Director.

Prof. Tarpeh admitted during his taking over ceremony at the EPA in 2020, that he has financial background and does not have environmental background as mandated by the EPA law. This may have prevented him from encouraging the formation of the Policy Council, knowing fully that he was not qualified and was unlikely to pass the environmental backgrounds scrutinizing check of the Policy Council.

Section 9 of the Executive Order 123 by President Weah in late November 2023, clearly states that “Non-tenured Presidential appointees shall be presumed to have resigned as of the date of inauguration. Accordingly, the most Senior Civil Servant at all ministries, agencies and commissions and state-owned enterprises, shall act as Office-in-Charge pending the appointment of their successors.”

This was why on January 23rd, the day after the inauguration, Mr. Benjamin Karmoh, supported by EPA workers attempted to prevent Prof. Tarpeh from serving as Executive Director.

The EPA workers also wrote President Boakai , asking him to appoint a new Acting Executive Director pending the formation of the Policy Council.

If Prof. Tarpeh did not meet the criteria to be appointed as Executive Director with the 7-year tenure as mandated by law, why is he claiming tenure and demanding 43 months’ pay? Inside sources say, Prof. Tarpeh is using his connections within the government to try to get underserved compensation.

See attached the purported certificate of commissioning and letter of appointment of Mr. Tarpeh.

Press Statement by Independent Journalists of Liberia

March 12, 2024

On March 7, 2024, a group of Liberian Journalists went to the home of former Nimba County Representative Johnson Gwaikolo (deceased), to provide coverage at the time former Pres. George Weah and some members of the former ruling party-CDC have gone to sympathize with the bereaved family.

At this gathering transportation reimbursement of US$ 500.00 was provided by the former Chief of Protocol to the former president, Madam Noria Finda Bundoo for all Journalists who provided coverage for the event .

It was reported that the president of the Independent Journalists of Liberia, Edwin Chea ran away with the above-mentioned amount to an unknown place. The issue led to some reporters posting Mr. Chea and his wife on social media with some indicting the Independent Journalists in said act.

Following denigrating posts and statements from different media institutions, we immediately set up a committee to investigate the matter. The committee however, completed its report and submitted its findings and as well made some recommendations to the Independent Journalists body.

Today, after reviewing the investigative report, the majority members of the Independent Journalists of Liberia realized that Mr. Chea’s action was based on self-interest and not the body of the Independent Journalists.

Chea’s action has not only shamed him but has brought this professional body to public disrepute.

For this reason, Edwin Chea is hereby suspended for time indefinite and ordered to be removed from all chat rooms of the Independent Journalists of Liberia. He has also been instructed not to carry on any functions on behalf of the institution as its president, as doing so will risk another action from this body.

On the other hand, Mr. Emmanuel W. Jipoh , who is the vice president of the institution is hereby suspended for two weeks and ordered to write an apology letter to members of the institution . Jipoh is suspended for facilitating Mr. Chea to run away with money that was intended for a group of professionals who labour.

While Chea and Jipoh are serving their suspensions, the Secretary General of the Independent Journalists of Liberia, Mr. Jackson Kanneh will take charge of the affairs of the institution in collaboration with the spokesperson, Mr. Deltin Dorley of the group pending congress in the coming weeks.

We encourage the public not to do business with the suspended President and vice president in the name of the institution as doing so will be at your own risks.
The Independent Journalists of Liberia is a conglomeration of 11 Independent Journalists from different media institutions including print, electronic and social.

This release is signed and approved by the below persons:

1. Jackson F. Kanneh …………. Acting President
2. Deltin Dorley…………… Spokesperson
3. Carson P. Mehn……….Member
4. Timothy R. Yoko……..member
5. Prince Mathias Nagbe……..Member
6. James Barclay Wolo... Member
