The House recently slammed Minister Kamara with a contempt charge due to his alleged refusal, after being called upon four times, to appear before members of that august body to address some economic issues of national concern. By the charge, Minister Kamara was to face three punishments; a fine of L$5,000; a letter of apology in newspapers, or jail up to the time the House was in session.
He apologetically told members of the House of Representatives Tuesday that during three of the four citations he was seeking medication in Ghana but had to cut short his treatment to answer the call of the House's Plenary. Unfortunately, as Liberia's fiscal manager on economic policy and financial regulation, he had to attend the World Bank's meeting. He however apologized.
The Ministry's clarity was triggered by media reports that the Finance Minister was sick and was frustrated and dissatisfied with the magnitude of problems he inherited at the ministry.
