Monrovia – Amin Modad, the embattled Minister of Commerce, has resigned, becoming the first cabinet member of the Boakai-Koung administration to do so. Sources indicate that the President was displeased with Modad over the controversy surrounding the purchase of a luxury vehicle. In his resignation letter, Modad stated that he was resigning to protect both his integrity and that of the administration. In September 2020, Modad was elected chairman of the Unity Party (then in opposition), defeating veteran politician Sen. Conmany Wesseh and others. A leaked chat from a senior Unity Party executive forum revealed Modad’s grievances, but he received little sympathy.
