The Catholic Justice and Peace Commission has questioned what it considered failure of government to arrest and prosecute Thiery Swarthy Genesis.
Mr. Genesis served as Assistant Minister of Postal Affairs but was sacked by President Sirleaf for alleged corrupt practices.
Following his dismissal, Mr. Genesis was asked to turn himself over to the Justice Ministry for prosecution.
The Executive Director of the JPC, Cllr. Augustine Toe said the procedure was unusual in the country’s political history.
Cllr. Toe said if the government believes Genesis was dismissed on corruption charges it should have arrested him by now.
He said a dismissal that borders on criminality needs no preferential treatment for the accused.
Cllr. Toe observed while others were arrested for corrupt acts, the government chose to ask Mr. Genesis to turn himself over to the Justice Ministry.
