The Supreme Court on April 30 declined to hear a Bill of Information filed by the Board of Commissioners of the Liberia Telecommunications Authority (LTA) and the Chairperson of the Governance Commission to declare their suspension by President Joseph Boakai unlawful. Associate Justice Yussif Kaba, currently presiding in Chambers of the Supreme Court, wrote a statement declining to hear the bill. Despite Justice Kaba's decision, the suspended tenured officials could file the request before the Full Bench of the Supreme Court. The tenured officials' latest legal battle was triggered by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai's recent action to have them all suspended. They claim the letter of indefinite suspension places an impossible condition for President Boakai to lift the suspension.
