President Boakai Appoints Acting Board of Commissioners of the Liberia Telecommunication Authority (LTA)

Monrovia:Liberia Chief Executive Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., has suspended, Mr. Garrison Yealue, Chairperson, and Madam Elizabeth Dorkin, Commissioner of the Governance Commission with immediate effect for activities inconsistent with the Act creating the institution. 

A release recently posted on the official Facebook page of the Executive mansion says, president Boakai has further established a committee to investigate the matter and present a report, indicating his commitment to transparency and accountability. President Boakai has asked the suspended officials to cooperate fully with the investigating team as this is in line with his commitment to fairness, accountability, and justice. 

The President’s action demonstrates his commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that public officials adhere to the highest standards of ethical conduct. 

In a related development, the Liberian Leader has appointed Mr. Ambullah L. Kamara, Mrs. Angela Cassell Bush, Mr. Clarence K. Massaquoi, Mr. Ben A. Fofana, and Mr. Patrick Honnah as Acting Chairperson and Acting Commissioners respectively pending the finality of the General Auditing Commission’s audit. 

The President believes that these appointments will ensure continuity and stability in the affairs of the LTA until the final audit report is released. 

He hoped that his actions would serve as a deterrent to others who may be tempted to engage in activities that are inconsistent with their duties and obligations.
