Followed the arrest of former NTGL Chairman, Charles Gyude Bryant yesterday for his alleged involvement of stealing public funds in the tune of over one Million United States Dollars and later released on bill, a local human rights lawyer, Dempster Browne has accused the Liberian Government of “Selective Justice”.
Counselor Browne told reporters in Monrovia that the arrest of the former Liberian leader for corruption by the Liberian government should not be done on what he called “on a selective justice” basis, but rather go across the board and arrest others who have embezzled public funds with impunity.
Counselor Browne made specific reference of the current Managing Director of the Liberia Petroleum Refining Corporation (LPRC) Mr. Harry Greaves, who he said has been caught in the ongoing corruption saga at the corporation.
He said the action taken to arrest of only former officials of government by the Ellen led-government and not current officials who are also accused of the same act is ugly in the sight of civilized individuals, and described the action by the government as been a “selective justice.”
Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Free Democratic Party (FDP), Siafa Gbollie, says the arrest of the former NTGL Chairman by the Liberian government is “not fair” and called on the Liberia government to give him a free and fair trail.
He the former leader should be lauded for his efforts to restoring the dignity of the country during his reign, “this man must be praised for him bringing us peace during his tenure as Chairman of a transitional government that gave way to a free and fair elections in our country,” Mr. Gborllie said.
