Cllr. Tiawan S. Gongloe, President, Liberia National Bar Association
Weeks after both the Supreme Court of Liberia and the National Association of Trial Judges in Luberia claimed that there was no sufficient evidence to punish any of those named in the US Treasury Department’s report of corruption against some judges and Grand Cape Mount County Senator Cllr Varney Sherman, the Liberian National Bar Association (LNBA), has cautioned judicial actors and the Liberian Government not to take the issue lightly. The LNBA is the umbrella body for lawyers and judges in the country.
A release issued by the Supreme Court and the National Association of Trial Judges of Liberia earlier, challenged the Treasury Department to produce evidence in its possession based upon which the accusations against Cllr Sherman and the judges were obtained.
