Monrovia — The Government of Liberia expresses fervent empathy with the Chairman of the opposition Unity Party (UP), Rev. Investigators from the National Fire Service have already been dispatched to the scene in order to determine the cause of the outbreak. The party in the release said the government hired thugs to commit arson. However, contrary to the UP Chairman’s statement, its Secretary General, Amos Tweh, had already sweepingly accused the government of committing the unfortunate act even before the arrival on the scene of investigators from the Liberia National Fire Service and the Liberia National Police. The government, therefore, urges the Tarpeh family and the Unity Party to remain calm while authorities determine the actual cause of Friday’s fire.
