RiverGee County Senator Conmany B. Wesseh
River Gee County Senator, Conmany B. Wesseh, has described the Supreme Court’s ruling against former Defense Minister now senator-elect, Brownie Samukai of Lofa county as ‘Bad politics’ because the court failed to prove his crime.
The Supreme Court had earlier withheld ruling by Criminal Court ‘C’ with some modifications that Samukai should restitute the US$1,147,656.35 used from the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) pension money that he [Samukai] says was used on the orders of his boss, former President Sirleaf. The Supreme Court went further to warn Samukai that if 50% of said amount cannot be paid in six months, he would be incarcerated until full payment is made.
