Monrovia – Suspended Executive Governor of the Central Bank of Liberia (CBL), J. Aloysius Tarlue, Jr., has petitioned the Supreme Court of Liberia against his suspension, raising critical questions about executive power and the legality of his removal. By Wliie Tokpah, [email protected]Sources tell FrontPageAfrica that before his suspension, Tarlue demanded $1.3 million to resign, but his request was not granted. The decision to suspend you is based on the Auditor General’s Report from the Compliance Audit of the Central Bank for the fiscal years 2018-2023,” President Boakai said in a communication to the embattled Central Bank Governor. The petitioner argued that the President’s action was illegal and unconstitutional, asserting that the removal of the Executive Governor of the CBL could only occur through impeachment by the National Legislature.
