MONROVIA: President George Weah has reinstated Jamima Wolokollie to her position as Deputy Minister of Commerce for Small Business with immediate effect.
President Weah in May suspended Wolokollie, Deputy Minister for time indefinite for acts of insubordination and unprofessionalism.
In an executive mansion statement the President emphasized the need for all Deputies to accord the highest respect and courtesy to their leaders and refrain from taking internal disputes or disagreements to the public space for redress.
Madam Wolokollie had accused Commerce Minister Wilson Tarpeh of conniving with shady foreign businesses in the country at the detriment of Liberian-owned businesses.
Wolokollie accused Tarpeh of antagonizing her because of her stance against his shady dealings that contravene the government’s pro-poor agenda.
A one paragraph executive mansion statement signed by Press Secretary Sam Mannah notes the lifting of Minister Wolokollie’s indefinite suspension takes immediate effect.
She is believed to have been the only public official suspended by the CDC-led government.
OK FM had earlier learned that Presidential Spokesman Sam Mannah was suspended for allegedly gossiping President Weah.
Mr. Mannah rubbished the news, saying he was attending to some family matters.
Even though there was no statement to the effect of his suspension, Mannah was not seen at public functions for months.
The signing of the statement by Mannah to the effect of the lifting of suspension of Deputy Commerce Minister Wolokollie, suggests that his suspension was equally lifted the same time.
