MONROVIA – Nimba County Senator Prince Johnson, now the biggest political ally of Unity Party’s Joseph, delivered the vote-rich county to the Unity Party in the October 10 election. “If we sincerely want to bring to check public officials who mismanage public funds, we need to establish a war and economic crimes court,” Sen. Dillon said. Senator Dillon’s recommendation triggered rage from Senator Johnson who staged a walkout from session, terming Senator Dillon’s suggestions as “an attack on his character.” “Every time Sen. Dillon sees me, it is when he talks about war crimes court,” Sen. Johnson said. However, in recent times, Mayor Koijee has intensified his call and specifically called for the prosecution of Sen. Johnson. The TRC recommended, amongst a host of recommendations, the establishment of a War and Economic Crimes Court for Liberia to try those responsible for the commission of atrocities and economic crimes.
