Feedback to Barred from public office

If Sirleaf is barred from holding public, she should be dismissed from the presidency now. That way justic will be serve. But looking at her age she is already a dying figure, and has serve as president, but looking at the others, they are still young and cannot afford to stayed without holding public office for 30yrs. If this was the case, it would have happen before Sirleaf could become president, so she can bear the ralph of the punishment from holding public office. But however, it seems to me as a twisted justice that will not be recognized by others. I am telling you point blank, this will not work as long as Sirleaf has become president and continue to serve as president. I personally believe this is distraction not punishment, giving sintuary to one, and leaving the others out. How can this be possible? |

Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, Isaac Nyenabo, Kabineh Ja’neh, Toga McIntosh Gayewea and Joe Gbala to be barred from holding public office for 30 years. It should not be only limitted to this.I believe these people should be recommended for prosecution as well. The question is"How old are these people?" Will most of these people live 30 more years. If they can spend the rest of their lives in jail when found guilty. Please TRC Liberians will be happy to see this happen. |
