The Liberian Leader said the late Rep. Sloh played his legislative role so diligently and faithfully.  "This is why we will miss him," he said.

The President also recounted the fallen lawmaker’s journalism profession. "He was a renowned journalist and passionate voice for social justice,” the President said and tendered his condolences to the bereaved family for what he described as “irreparable loss".

Several officials of Government attended the occasion and paid moving tributes to the fallen Representative.

The Late Rep. Sloh will be buried tomorrow August 22, 2020 following funeral service at the First Assembly of God Church on Buchanan Street in Monrovia.
