Liberia’s Justice Minister Resigns

Liberia’s Justice Minister, Christiana Tah, has resigned. 

In her letter of resignation, Madam Tah said she could not be the Minister of Justice and not supervise the operations of the security agencies under her department. 

The letter cited her lack of independence to investigate allegations of fraud against the National Security Agency. 

She also said it has become unbearable to continue as minister amid the determination to systemically undermine and gut the portfolio of its effectiveness. 

A statement issued today by the Executive Mansion said President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has received and accepted the resignation of the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General.
