The political leader of the Liberia People’s Party (LPP), Cllr. Tiawan Saye Gongloe has vowed to prevail on members of the National Legislature to issue impeachment proceeding against the Liberian leader, President George Weah if he fails to dismiss the Executive Mansion Chief of Protocol, Chief of Protocol, Ambassador Finda Nora Bundoo for her alleged role in the smuggling of Narcotic Drug into Liberia via the Roberts International Airport (RIA).
Speaking to reporters yesterday, September 14, 2023, the human rights lawyer called on the Liberian leader to immediately dismiss his Chief of Protocol who he noted has been linked to the smuggling of narcotics/opioids substances into the country.
The importation of narcotics and other dangerous substances into Liberia has become a regular routine for unscrupulous individuals who have considered Liberia as their business center to dispose of their kind of business.
Last October, authorities in Liberia, working in collaboration with US international narcotics agency, seized some $US100 million worth of cocaine, the largest in the country’s history and one-fifth of its national budget.
To put the case into perspective, one of the accused had allegedly offered to pay the owners of the container, TRH Group, the sum of US$200,000 for the entire container which, at the time, cost less than US$30,000. The company, realizing the red flag, immediately contacted authorities leading to the arrest of the four suspects in the days following the bust.
In its ruling, the court ruled that the US$200,000 that was seized from the men by the Liberian government be returned to them. Hours after the verdict’ the suspects fled the country and have not been seen or heard of since.
Ironically. The bust was made in the presence of both US and Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency authorities and recorded on video with photographic evidence, other international news outlets as well as many social media platforms.
For this reason, in his interview with reporters, Cllr. Gongloe said the failure of the Liberian leader to dismiss his Chief of Protocol amid these allegations that she is at the center of the Smuggling of the drugs, he will have no other alternative but to prevail of the legislature for his impeachment.
