Monrovia – Former Minister of Finance Samuel Tweah Denounces Government Indictment as “Total Witch Hunt”By Gerald C. Koinyeneh, [email protected]Former Minister of Finance and Development Planning Samuel Tweah has termed the government’s indictment against him as a “total witch hunt.”On Monday, Tweah and several former top officials of the Weah-Taylor administration were indicted on charges of economic sabotage, theft, and illegal disbursement of funds. Officials indicted alongside Tweah include former National Security Advisor Jefferson Karmoh, former Solicitor General Cllr. Nyenati Tuan, ex-Comptroller of the Financial Intelligence Unit (now FIA) D. Moses P. Cooper, and former Director General of the Financial Intelligence Agency (FIA) Stanley Ford. Tuan, Karmoh, and Cooper were imprisoned after failing to present a criminal appearance bond, as they could not afford the amount required for economic sabotage. “Working with my lawyers and others, I stand ready to defeat this witch-hunt and vindicate my reputation through the justice system,” Tweah said.
