By Amos HarrisResidents and traditional leaders of Smith Town, Gbarpolu County, have leveled serious allegations against Liberia’s Ministry of Justice, accusing the body of deliberately undermining a Supreme Court mandate. According to community leaders, a definitive mandate issued by the Supreme Court has remained unenforced for an extended period. Despite the high court’s ruling, the Ministry of Justice has reportedly failed to provide a clear legal explanation for the delay. Community advocates argue that these funds are desperately needed to improve education, healthcare, and basic social services in Smith Town and its neighboring villages. At a time when the administration is striving to project an image of accountability and institutional integrity, the defiance of a Supreme Court order stands as a significant contradiction.

James T. BrooksMONROVIA — What was intended as a solemn celebration of the life and legacy of the late Professor Alhaji Garxim Varmuyan Kromah transformed into a potent political stage on Wednesday. While early speakers hailed him as a man of deep conviction and social justice, the atmosphere shifted dramatically when Dr. Fahbulleh took the podium. Following the keynote, ALCOP Political Leader Lusanne Kamara offered a more reflective tone, urging partisans to maintain unity and uphold Kromah’s core ideals. Kamara described the late professor as a moral compass whose voice served as the “heartbeat of a national identity” during periods of deep uncertainty. Kromah’s name remains a powerful catalyst for political discourse and an uncompromising call for justice within the Liberian landscape.
