Fassu Kelleh Writes Anonymous Accuser, Says he is a man of reputation


I have read your post from one of your browsers who refused to be named, and has chosen to hide behind his pen so that he/she might not take responsibility for an irresponsible action. Fortunately, I would not choose to dignify or glorify the story with my most valuable time had it not been for the benefit of the many readers that might come across the story. With complete dismay and disappointment and worse still, by a writer that is afraid to show his/her face.

Firstly, the author/accuser does not know FASSUE KELLEH and therefore a complete stranger to my personality. Contrary to the writer's claim that I am a former Charles Taylor’s official, I am not.

I fled the Taylor regime just after appointing me to the Free zone; the entity had no money, no budget and no account; it did not have a single vehicle. Prior to my appointment to the entity, I had imported some vehicles from Europe. I gave two to the entity, one for utility and one for the use of my then deputy Howard, and me with expectation that the entity might later pay.

It did not until I fled and advised my then deputy to pay for the cars to my then manager. Up to date, I yet to receive a single payment for the cars ; Howard and other former employees know it.

Secondly, that I took public money to educate myself/seek higher education in the USA can only be attested by Hamline University and the Minnesota State since I still owe tons of dollars in student loan and serves as the pull factor to the state to pay my bills and further my education where possible.

Thirdly, I currently have two of my children in college, in Ghana and Liberia respectively. I paid my boys fees from my money market through my then employer, the US Bank, Minnesota where I worked as auditor for over five years and resigned only from Liberia.

And finally, the author's claim that my accuser from the Lotteries is right cannot be disputed as the Lotteries' accuser is as right as this author who does not know me in any form and shape.

It is foolhardy and miss-calculation that I bought and imported one SUV; I really imported three and all the employees and the overseer, the Vice President of Liberia, Ambassador Joseph Boakai’s office know just better.

Notwithstanding, what is common in this country is to thrive on the excellent reputation of good people with impunity. That must end! Some of us have taken all it takes, from student days to present, to build the virtuous characters and reputation and respect we enjoyed today.

What the author does not know is that T. Fassue Kelleh was once a household name and will therefore jealously guide that. If anything the author envoys in Fassue, I advise that he/she strives to excellent him/herself similarly so that there be no cause for false cries.

Recently a man who did not state his name wrote the GNN regarding a story posted entitled, “Liberia Lotteries in Crisis, As Fassue Kelleh Leaves with Clean Hands”, the Anonymous writer said, “Mr. Fassue Kelleh is a dishonest man.

He went from a low paying job in the USA to Liberia to get a government job, so that he can embezzle to corporation. That is exactly what he did. He went back to the USA on holiday, and bought a Toyota SUV and shipped it to Liberia. He has leased a home in Mamba Point.

All this with stolen government money, he stole money to provide for his further education in the USA, and to pay for the higher education of his children. His accuser is correct. Fassue Kelleh did not leave the institution with clean hands. May be the employees who are claiming that he is a good man are all women. He is a ladies man, an immoral man who leads an immoral life. He is a former Charles Taylor era government official and should not be either trusted or given the responsibility of any other position in the government.”.
