The Association of Liberian Journalists in the Americas (ALJA) says it welcomes the Liberian government’s pledge to bring to justice the perpetrators of the reported murder of a broadcast journalist, Tyron A. Browne, of the Monrovia-based Super FM radio station. The station is owned by Liberian businessman and politician George Kailondo, a member of the opposition Unity Party (UP). The Association asserted that the Weah-led administration must now begin to take concrete actions that would ensure that the probe is executed with immediacy and transparency. ALJA reminded Mr. Weah and the CDC that they promised to ensure accountability in the public sector by weeding out corrupt and shady deals. “ALJA is saddened by the loss and prays that the Almighty Allah would grant the PUL and the Kamara families solace during this difficult moment,” the release, signed by ALJA president Moses Sandy, said.
