Several persons have been wounded and many houses burned as a result of confusion at the Sinoe Rubber Plantation.
The confusion erupted Tuesday following a decision by Superintendent Sylvester Grigsby to dissolve the Citizens Welfare Committee.
The Superintendent’s action followed a petition by some citizens that the Committee was not seeking the interest of the workers.
However, the supervisor of the monitoring team set up by government said the petition was masterminded by Senator Mobutu Nyenpan and LAC Manager Alfred Porte.
Mr. Joe Flah alleged the two officials programmed five persons to petition the Superintendent.
LAC’s Administrator Daniel Toe denied his Boss involvement in the confusion while Senator Nyepan says he would respond to the claims later.
Meanwhile, Supt Sylvester Grisgby says security has been tightened at the Plantation and those involved in the act would be brought to book.
