The Public Procurement and Concessions Commission (PPCC) says it takes due notice of the ongoing investigation by the Special Taskforce on the Global Witness allegations against some past and present officials of the Liberian government including its Chairman, Professor Willie Belleh. The Special Taskforce has included Prof. Belleh in the second batch of persons indicted for their alleged roles in the Sable Mining saga. At the time President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf requested him to stay on as Chairman of the PPCC. Prof. Belleh continues to insist that he is innocent and that the charges against him are fabrications. Prior to the Global Witness allegations and this indictment, Prof. Belleh served the Commission with distinction.
