The former Director of Cabinet in the government of Charles Taylor has called for an investigation into the death of Samuel Dokie.

Senator Blamo Nelson said government must order the investigation to establish the killers of Dokie and family.

Senator Nelson said as a former key figure in the Taylor’s regime he has no idea as to who ordered the murder of Dokie.

He spoke Monday while testifying before the ongoing TRC thematic and institutional hearings in Monrovia.

The government of Taylor in 1997 announced the death of Dokie along with his wife and others under mysterious circumstances.

Meanwhile, Senator Nelson says the government of Doe had reasons to indict Charles Taylor of corruption while at the GSA.

According to him, while serving as Principal Deputy to Taylor at the GSA, he observed that Taylor deviated from the purchasing of some equipment.
