(June 30, 2020 – Monrovia, Liberia): The President of Liberia, H.E. Dr. George Manneh Weah has dismissed with immediate effect Deputy Commerce Minister, Jemima Wolokollie.

President Weah's decision follows a string of actions incompatible with Deputy Minister Wolokollie's status as a senior government official.

Deputy Minister Wolokolie was earlier suspended by the President for insubordination and unprofessionalism.

The Liberian Chief Executive urges all officials of government who bear the public trust to conduct themselves properly.
