Monrovia – When the Acting Managing Director of the National Port Authority opted to employ brothers of President George Manneh Weah at Liberia’s economic gateway she claimed to have acted based on the directive of the Liberian leader. As the current NPA Acting Managing Director, she recently hired several individuals – all last named Weah as consultants to positions inside the scope of existing jobs already occupied. Those recently hired are to be paid salaries four-times more than individuals who head these departments. Her actions received heavy criticisms as Economists expressed fear that it might retrogress early gains at the economic hub. She also retracted her previous comments, stating that President Weah was not knowledgeable of her actions to hire his brothers.
