LIBERIA’S FINANCE MINISTER FACES IMMINENT DISMISSAL FOLLOWING US SANCTIONS

Date:

MONROVIA – In a dramatic turn of events, Liberia’s Finance Minister, Samuel Tweah, finds himself on the brink of being ousted from his position just hours after being hit with a damaging sanction by the United States.

Sources within the Executive Mansion have revealed that President George Weah is poised to request Tweah’s resignation, casting a cloud of uncertainty over the remaining weeks of the CDC government’s tenure.

Samuel Tweah, who has been at the helm of Liberia’s Finance Ministry since six years, has been a key figure in the administration, but the recent sanctions imposed by the US have seemingly prompted swift action from the highest levels of government. With just weeks left until the expiration of the CDC government’s tenure, the timing of this potential dismissal has sent shockwaves through the political landscape.

Insiders have indicated that President Weah is expected to call for Tweah’s immediate resignation, following a pattern seen in previous high-profile departures from the administration. The looming threat of dismissal has reportedly placed Tweah in a precarious position.

The US sanctions against Tweah have undoubtedly intensified the political storm engulfing the Finance Minister, raising questions about the future direction of Liberia’s economic leadership. As the nation braces for a period of transition, the impending departure of Samuel Tweah has sparked a wave of conjecture and anticipation, leaving the fate of the finance ministry hanging in the balance.

The developments surrounding Tweah’s potential dismissal mark a pivotal moment in Liberia’s political landscape, underscoring the far-reaching implications of the US sanctions and the subsequent repercussions within the highest echelons of government.

As the nation watches with bated breath, the spotlight remains firmly fixed on the fate of Liberia’s embattled Finance Minister amid a backdrop of uncertainty and speculation. Our sources say this fate could also affect Monrovia City Mayor. Jefferson T. koijee, who was also sanctioned on last Friday.
