MR. COSTA HAS also lately unearthed several damaging scandals relating to flawed concession agreements and shady business transactions which have brought the government under scrutiny and in a negative light to the public. Tolbert won the suit – $US250,000 but later died in a plane crash soon after and the case was closed. This means, Mr. Costa would have to find another host, willing to give him the space to operate. THE PRESS UNION OF LIBERIA and several international journalists’ groups, including the Committee to Protect Journalists and Reporters Without Borders have called on the government to end the harassment of Mr. Costa and his station. THE WEAH-LED government must allow Mr. Costa to run his station without intimidation and speak freely without fear or favor in the same vein that former President Sirleaf allow, Mr. Weah and his supporters to rain insults on the former president and her officials.
