President Weah is yet to appoint solicitor general, deputy minister for administration and assistant minister for litigation. Since taking over the helm of the country, President George Weah has not been able to name individuals to fill several positions at the Ministry of Justice (MOJ), making it difficult for the ministry to prosecute cases especially those related to corruption. MOJ is the prosecutorial arm of the government that would support the president’s pro-poor government agenda, especially in tackling corruption. The solicitor-general and the assistant minister for litigation are all positions that are responsible to prosecute both commercial and criminal cases in the country, which up to present is being blamed for delay. Dean maintained, though he did not explain when President Weah will make the appointment in those very sensitive legal areas.
