Office of the First Lady Embroiled in Fraud Scandal

The office of First Lady Kartumu Boakai is embroiled in a fraud scandal involving one of its key officials. The Technical Consultant and the Media and Communication Officer, Varfee Holmes stands accused of fraud after collecting a total of 4,000 USD from two individuals seeking scholarships to study in London.

The two applicants, both Liberian nationals, asserted that the officials took $2,000 each from them, assuring them of success in securing the scholarships, but after the money was handed over, the applicants reported that they received no further communication or support.

The accused, Varfee Holmes speaking via a telephone interview on the Spoon Talk Thursday admitted to collecting the reported amount from the applicants but said the money was a payment for the scholarship which he said is not fully funded.

Holmes earlier denied that the First Lady was in the know of the scholarship scheme, but later flip-flopped saying she was briefed on the surface.

The allegations have stirred widespread outrage and concern among the public, raising questions about the integrity of government officials and the operations of the First Lady’s office.

This incident has cast a shadow over the First Lady’s office at a time when there are ongoing efforts to promote education and development in the country. Many are now calling for stricter oversight and transparency to prevent future cases of fraud within government institutions.

This case comes amid rising concerns about corruption within Liberia's public sector, with many citizens calling for more accountability from those in power. The victims of this alleged scam have expressed their frustration, not only over the loss of money but also over the apparent abuse of trust by those holding influential positions.

DRC bans Al Jazeera over its interview with a key rebel leader and threatens journalists

The Democratic Republic of Congo on Thursday banned Al Jazeera satellite news network over its interview with the leader of a violent rebel group that has seized territory in the country's east in recent days.

Separately, DRC's justice minister threatened journalists and others who report on the M23 rebels with the death penalty, though there is no law officially banning media from covering rebel groups.

There was no immediate comment from Al Jazeera, a pan-Arab satellite television news network based in Doha, Qatar.

According to DRC government spokesperson Patrick Muyaya, authorities revoked press credentials of Qatar's broadcaster in DRC, saying the network had interviewed the head of a "terror organization without proper accreditation."

Al Jazeera on Wednesday aired an interview with Bertrand Bisimwa, the head of the M23 rebel movement in the eastern DRC. In the interview, Bisimwa blamed the government in the capital, Kinshasa, for violating an August ceasefire and claimed that M23 is waging an "existential war."

M23 is the most prominent of more than 100 armed groups active in the mineral-rich area near the DRC border with Rwanda, where more than 1 million people were displaced by fighting last year. A decade ago, the group seized the border city of Goma, and in late 2021 captured broad swaths of territory in eastern DRC.

Al Jazeera's interview with Bisimwa was "tantamount to an apology for terrorism and totally unacceptable," Muyaya told a news conference, urging journalists not to "give the floor to terrorists."

Hours earlier, DRC's Justice Minister Constant Mutamba said on the social media platform X that anyone who reports on "the activities of the Rwandan army and its M23 auxiliaries, will now suffer the full force of the law (DEATH PENALTY)."

For the last 35 years, Chinese diplomats have been keeping a yearly tradition, more resolute than many New Year’s resolutions.

Come each January, China’s Foreign Ministers visit African nations as their first international destination of the year.

This year, foreign minister Wang Yi is keeping the tradition alive, making his first international visits of the year to Namibia, the Republic of Congo, Chad, and Nigeria.

Obviously, Africa is a resource-rich continent with growing consumer markets, but apart from wishing to enhance its profits and influence, what has led China to what it calls the “unstoppable trend”?

Kenya's high court on Wednesday ordered the country's top policeman to appear for questioning over a fresh wave of abductions that have caused widespread outrage.

The Nairobi court said that Inspector General Douglas Kanja must appear at the next hearing on January 27 or be charged with contempt.

Dozens of people have been kidnapped and held in communicado since major anti-government protests last year, which sparked a bruising political crisis for President William Ruto.

A fresh spate of disappearances over the Christmas holiday led to rights groups filing a court case against the police and government, demanding to know the whereabouts of six missing young men.

At least two were taken after sharing AI-generated images of Ruto in a coffin.

Five of them were released on Monday, with no information given on who had taken them or where they were held.

Police deny involvement, but rights groups blame a shadowy unit drawn from police, intelligence, counterterrorism and other agencies.

CDC CONDEMNS THE ILLEGAL ARREST OF INNOCENT LIBERIAN CITIZENS BY THE GOVERNMENT OF LIBERIA

The Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) brings to the attention of the Liberian populace and our international partners alarming information regarding the Unity Party government of President Joseph Boakai deployment clandestine and WAR-TIME methods for the harassment and arrest of individuals perceived as political opponents.

This disturbing development follows a series of arrests targeting members of the CDC, as well as other citizens exercising their right to free speech. These individuals have reportedly fallen victim to a nefarious operation characterized by “arrest to kill,” wherein they are detained in undisclosed locations and subjected to grotesque forms of mistreatment and torture by state authorities.

The cases of Eric Susay, James Weah, and Andrew Sleh Lawson—innocent individuals unjustly apprehended—evoke memories of Liberia's tumultuous past and signal the resurgence of authoritarian methods that once plagued our nation.

Lawyers representing the three Liberians have filed a Writ of Habeas Corpus against the Liberian government to produce their living bodies. The CDC demands the immediate release of the living bodies of those clandestinely arrested.

The unlawful detention of citizens, particularly following peaceful demonstrations, represents a significant violation of Liberia's constitution and an infringement upon the fundamental rights of its citizens, including their right to free movement. The surveillance, targeting, and subsequent arrest of these individuals not only foster an environment of fear and insecurity but also signify a disheartening trend where the state resorts to repression rather than open dialogue.

Furthermore, the excessive and brutal force employed against peaceful assemblies raises serious ethical concerns regarding the government's respect for civil liberties. Such tactics not only threaten the safety of citizens but also undermine the core democratic principles upon which Liberia stands.

In light of these distressing occurrences, it is imperative that the authorities are held accountable for their alleged abuses of power.

CDC fears that those arrested might either be killed or transferred to a hostile country as has been the pattern with other arrested as in the case of Sheriff and others who were traded for 10 pick-ups by the Boakai Administration to a despotic regime.

The CDC also condemns the death of two Liberians in Lofa under mysterious circumstances. The increasing number mysterious death in the country points to a clear lack security in the country. We call on the government to ensure the security and protection of citizens and speedy investigations and prosecution of perpetrators.

The CDC remains ready to pursue any action-both legal and political, to ensure the safe release of citizens who are illegally arrested. CDC is forever committed to upholding the right to free speech and movement without fear of retribution.

As we navigate this critical moment in Liberia's history, we must collectively uphold the principles of democracy and justice, advocating for a transparent and accountable governance structure that respects the rights of all individuals.

By: Staff Writer

Ambassador Rufus Neufville says the Army will take charge of the state of the Nation Address

The Military May Take Control At President Joseph Nyuma Boakai State Of The Nation Address (SONA)

Article 58 of the Liberian Constitution instructs the President to present the administration's legislative program for the ensuring session and report on the economic condition of the country. This program, which takes place on the fourth working Monday in January of each year, is usually characterized by celebration in the presence of international partners.

The Speaker presides over this event. He calls the Special Session to order. The Speaker directs the protocol and entertains all motions, including adjournment.

This simple procedure will get very complicated if two lawmakers continue to battle for legitimacy. Representative Fonati Koffa may rely on the Supreme Court opinion to demand the gavel. Representative Richard Koon, on the other hand, may exert his authority on three grounds: (1) support from the majority including the Deputy Speaker, (2) the concurrence of the Senate, and (3) the unwavering backing of the Executive Branch

If this impasse persists up to the SONA, the military will have no option but to take control and enforce order. The military has the power to remove officials from the hall for disruptive behavior.

Have you wondered why the Sergeant at Arms at the House of Representatives is a Brigadier General? Is it not concerning that an ordinary police officer is not playing that role? Why the military?

A Brigadier General is above a Colonel and below a Major General. When appointed to a field command, a brigadier general is typically in command of a brigade consisting of around 4,000 troops (two regiments or four battalions).

The Sergeant at Arms can remove a lawmaker from the session for bad behavior. If a Cabinet Minister is sentenced to prison for contempt of the Legislature, he will be escorted by the Sergeant at Arms. If Officials refuse to appear before the body, the Sergeant at Arms can get them.

During normal legislative activities, the Speaker or presiding officer may direct the General in keeping with the Rules of the House. However, most military analysts believe that in times of crisis the Brigadier General must take orders from the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Liberia. Article 50.

It is therefore safe to say that in case of confusion or tussle over the gavel at the SONA, the military will take over and enforce good behavior. The officer in charge is the Sergeant at Arms.
