Liberia: Methodist men cautions Suspended Information Minister to be calm
Oct 23, 2009
by Michael Kpayili / Staff Writer
As the corruption chronicle at the Ministry of Information deepens and scores of Senior Officials under thorough investigation, the Men organization of the Monrovia District Conference of the United Methodist Church, Liberia Annual Conference says it is much concerned having learned that the Minister of Information, Cultural Affairs and Tourism, Rev. Dr. Lawrence Bropleh has been suspended and turned over to the Ministry of Justice for investigation.
Rev. Dr. Bropleh is an ordained Minister of the United Methodist Church. He has been suspended for his alleged involvement in a financial scandal at the Ministry of Information in a tune of Three hundred thousand United States dollars.
A press release issued by the United Methodist Men Organization under the signature of its President Rev. Moses K. Yebleh said men of the United Methodist Church of the Monrovia District Conference have assured Minister Bropleh that in the midst of the current difficulties he is going through, the best option is to remain calm, as thou who knowest about him surely will be with him.
The Men Department of the United Methodist Church is known for its slogan “rescue the perishing and care for the dying” assured Suspended Minister Bropleh that situations of such should be expected in one’s life but urged him to be focused. “We do not want to come with any conclusion on the matter, however, as a United Methodist prelate and an Elder in full connection of our Church, we share his grief and we are in prayers with him as his trouble is our trouble for we know that there are raining days in each of us life today and today it is him. The Church through the Men is with him and the entire family as we will never abandon him in these difficult days”, the release outlined.
The Men Department of the United Methodist Church is a credible group within the Liberian Society judging from it remarkable job done in several communities in Liberia.
Dr. Lawrence Bropleh was asked to cut short his visit to China and return home by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to assist with the investigation into the stealing of US0,000 recently uncovered by the Ministry of Finance regarding payroll fraud. Minister Broplen has since denied his involvement in the stealing.
The brother of Rev. Dr. Lawrence Bropleh was similarly sacked as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Liberia Telecommunications Authority (LTA) for misapplying huge sum of money during his tenure at the institution.
Ordinary citizens view corruption as a normal practice in government where poor enrich themselves in a split moment. President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is fiercely fighting corruption but it seems to be deeply rooted in the society and takes time to uproot such culture.
