New Castle, Delaware-The Association of Liberian Journalists in the Americas (ALJA) is demanding a public apology from Liberia’s Minister of Information Culture Affairs and Tourism (MICAT), Eugene Nagbe, for his recent verbal attack on two local Liberian journalists. The Association maintained the live radio interview annoyed the overzealous Information Minister and he became verbally belligerent and authoritative. The Americas based Liberian Journalists said although Rep. Kollie is an opposition politician; he is a prominent lawmaker. The Liberian media advocacy group said LBS is a state owned broadcast entity that is amendable only to Liberian tax payers. In July of 2016, ALJA called for the resignation or dismissal of Minister Nagbe from the Sirleaf government when he was elected Secretary General of the UP.
