Liberia: Govt Refutes Claim of Witch-Hunt By Former Finance Minister

Addressing the Ministry of Information regular press briefing on Tuesday, Minister Jerolinmek M. Piah said two of the reactions from Mr. Tweh and others, calling the intervention of the government as a witch-hunt, and reminding the government of forgetting about what happened in the twelve years of Ellen Johnson Sir leaf's administration and focusing on the last six years of former president Weah, is attention-grabbing.

He said the commissioners at the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission were named almost at the end of the Weah's administration in which the former finance minister and others served. He said if the former officials of government will claim that they have been witch-hunted, it means that those who they appointed are the ones witch-hunting them.
