Former Justice Minister Frederick Cherue’s confirmation to the Daily Observer Wednesday that he ordered the reinstatement of dismissed Liberian Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) official Sebastian Gibson has raised eyebrows and questions in the public, bordering on ethical indiscretion, given the rather eleventh hour unprecedented action as an official in transition. Mr. Gibson and four others were dismissed by the Drug Enforcement Agency on September 1, 2015. According to the agency, Gibson and the four others had violated Part-1 Count 20.0 of its code of conduct. Until his dismissal on September 1, 2015, by authorities of the agency, Gibson was the deputy chief of training, the Daily Observer learnt. In its letter of dismissal, the drug agency charged him with extortion and bribery.
