Liberia: UL Political Party wants Gender Minister Gayflor out
Dec 31, 2009
by Michael Kpayili / Staff Writer
The Student Unification Party of the University of Liberia is calling on the Government to dismiss the Minister of Gender, Varbah Gayflor, with immediate effect.
In a press release issued in Monrovia, SUP says its call is based on the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) reports and findings which unearthed 22, 000 USD theft, exploitation and abuse from ordinary employees of the Ministry of Gender by Minister Gayflor.
But SUP strongly detests what it calls the LACC Chairperson Cllr. Frances Johnson Morris’ comment that the 22,000 USD theft, exploitation and abuse are not concrete and genuine enough to warrant restitution.
According to the Party, all facts uncompromisingly points to the direction that Minister Gayflor is by all indications culpable and is liable as per the LACC reports and findings.
The Party says it views this ‘sickening’ comments as not only a flagrant disregard for Liberia’s domestic laws and instruments but also a justification of its earlier position of how cosmetic and superficial the Ellen Johnson Sirleaf led government has continued and is continuing to treat the fight on fraud, waste, abuse and mismanagement of the country’s resources.
The party describes the comment as a sad day in the recent history of the fight against corruption for a country gingerly recovering from the ruination of a 14 year bloodbath.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Gender and Development has refuted media reports linking it Minister to theft and other criminal activities. The Ministry in its release has drawn its attention to series of publications in the Tuesday, 29 December and Wednesday, 30 December editions of the New Democrat Newspaper implicating the Minister Gayflor to theft.
The Ministry says it is shocked and disappointed by the publications because at the end of the investigation which was preceded by a formal complaint from Mrs. Stephenette Weah in September this year, a summary report on the matter was issued by the Liberia Anti-corruption Commission with no indications of the assertions made by the New Democrat publications.
