Monrovia – Former House Speaker Alex Tyler has again argued that Liberia’s Public Procurement Concession Commission law was never changed in favor of Sable Mining as alleged in the damning Global Witness report. “The way she (former president Ellen Jonhson-Sirleaf) sent it that’s how we passed it, no law was changed. The former House Speaker and others were dragged to court for allegedly taking bribes to favor Sable Mining, a British Mining company. But even if I changed the law, it’s what I was supposed to do as a legislator,” he said. It all reportedly started when Piprek (the head of Sable Mining Liberia Ltd.) was in search of suitable premises for accommodation, helicopter landing facilities, and offices.
