A U.S.-based opposition Liberian politician has commended President Sirleaf for what he described as a bold step taken in Bong County.
President Sirleaf recently suspended the county’s Superintendent Renny Jackson and ordered the prosecution of a company given a road rehabilitation contract.
Mr. Jackson was suspended for alleged misapplication of public funds and the company allegedly failed to implement a contract for which it received funds.
Dr. Joseph Woah-Tee said the bold step and harsh treatment from President Sirleaf would stamp out what he called the nation’s embarrassing disease, corruption.
Dr. Woah-Tee who is a son of Bong County said this bold step would send a signal out to officials with corrupt nature that such practice will not be tolerated any longer.
According to Dr. Woah-Tee, he advised President Sirleaf against appointing Mr. Jackson as Superintendent but said he is pleased because the reality explains his advice.
