Madam Matilda ParkerMonrovia – The new trial of two former officials of the National Port Authority (NPA) Matilda Parker and Comptroller Christiana Paelay which opened last Monday at the Temple of Justice received another postponement. The case was postponed to Thursday, March 7, at the hour of 1:00 pm with all of the parties present. Following the Judge’s decision, the two Defendants, Parker and Paelay along with their relatives were seen reluctantly leaving the court. According to the LACC, the two former NPA officials allegedly used a bogus company called Denmar Enterprise to carry out the work but the work was never done the claim the two Defendants have repeatedly denied while on trial. The state was unable to locate its previous witnesses at the time of the new trial and that those witnesses available for the new trial are not willing any longer to testify for the prosecution.
