“LIBERIA Is A CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY. WE ARE NOT RUNNING A POLICE STATE.”
CMC POLITICAL LEADER MUSA HASSAN BILITY

THE POLICE ARE LIMITED BY LAW

LIBERIA IS NOT A POLICE STATE

The August 17, 2026 communication from Inspector General of Police Gregory Coleman to Senator Amara Konneh demands a direct constitutional response.

The Inspector General and every security institution must understand one fundamental principle: police authority is not unlimited. It is created by law, defined by law, and restricted by law.

Liberia is a constitutional democracy. We are not running a police state.

The police are authorized to investigate crimes, gather evidence, and request the voluntary cooperation of citizens. However, a police letter is not a subpoena, a summons, an indictment, or a court order.

The communication to Senator Konneh identifies no criminal offense allegedly committed by him. It contains no judicial order, no lawful subpoena, and no legal penalty for declining to produce the requested information. It therefore has no compulsory legal force.

The police also have no authority to turn an official “caution” against further public statements into a restriction on political speech.

Article 15 of the Constitution guarantees freedom of expression, the right to hold opinions without interference, the right to remain silent, and the unrestricted right of the public to be informed about the government and its functionaries.

The Constitution further provides that freedom of expression may be limited only through judicial action. That authority belongs to the courts, not to the police.

Article 42 protects members of the Legislature against arrest, detention, prosecution, or trial for opinions expressed in the exercise of their official functions.

These constitutional protections apply whether the government agrees with the criticism or not.

Senator Konneh raised legitimate questions about the handling of a major co***ne investigation. He questioned why certain officers were suspended or dismissed without transparent prosecutions. He questioned whether senior officials should supervise investigations involving institutions under their own command. He questioned whether the law was being applied equally.

The police may disagree with his conclusions. The government may respond publicly. But disagreement does not give the police authority to caution an elected Senator into silence.

If anyone believes that Senator Konneh has defamed a particular person, the Constitution provides a judicial remedy. The police cannot establish a separate system in which citizens and lawmakers must first obtain police approval before criticizing the government.

It is also not Senator Konneh’s responsibility to complete the police investigation.

The responsibility to investigate belongs to the investigative team. The responsibility to prosecute belongs to the Ministry of Justice. The responsibility to determine guilt belongs to the courts.

The burden of investigating this co***ne network cannot be shifted onto those asking legitimate questions.

This concern is larger than Senator Konneh. When Senator Edwin Snowe spoke strongly against the government, threats were made against his position at ECOWAS. Former Speaker J. Fonati Koffa was detained and indicted, and more than a year later his case remains unresolved and the allegations against him remain unproven. Now Senator Konneh has spoken, and he has received an official police communication cautioning him against speaking further.

This creates the dangerous impression that state institutions are being used to discipline political speech.

President Joseph Boakai and the Unity Party spent years in opposition criticizing the previous government, questioning its decisions, making serious allegations, and demanding accountability. They were protected by the same Constitution that now protects Senator Konneh and every other Liberian.

The freedoms that protected the Unity Party in opposition cannot suddenly become unacceptable because the Unity Party is now in power.

We are not naïve. It is difficult to believe that a drug operation of this magnitude, involving cargo worth hundreds of millions of dollars, could pe*****te a country’s borders and security systems without protection, facilitation, or connivance by people at very high levels of authority.

Like Senator Amara Konneh, I do not need to be a scientist to conclude that the real actors in this saga may still be at large. That is also my considered view.

There is now only one credible way for the government to disprove this conclusion: submit the entire matter to a genuinely independent, internationally led investigation.

The security apparatus cannot impose public trust. It cannot investigate institutions within its own command structure and then instruct Liberians simply to believe its conclusions. Trust must be earned through independence, transparency, and verifiable evidence.

In this matter, the opportunity for the security apparatus to investigate itself and command the confidence of the Liberian people has been lost. That confidence cannot be restored through official letters, press conferences, administrative suspensions, or assurances from the same institutions now under public suspicion.

Only an independent international investigation can restore public confidence and establish the full truth.

Inspector General Coleman must understand and publicly acknowledge the limits of his authority. His communication to Senator Konneh can only be a voluntary request. It carries no lawful power to silence him, compel him to disclose information, or threaten him with arrest, prosecution, or retaliation.

The police must concentrate on identifying and prosecuting every person involved in this narcotics network, regardless of position, rank, friendship, or political connection.

The message is simple: investigate the drug network. Follow the evidence. Prosecute everyone against whom credible evidence exists. But do not police opinions, intimidate critics, or attempt to silence elected representatives.

No police officer is above the law. No government official is above the law. No citizen or legislator should be intimidated for questioning the conduct of public institutions.

Police power ends where constitutional rights begin.

Liberia is governed by law.

Liberia is not, and must never become, a police state.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UL Presidential Statement on a Way Forward
By: Layli Maparyan, Ph.D., UL President
August 10, 2026

To my esteemed colleagues of ULFASA and the entire University of Liberia family:
I write this not just as the President of UL, but as someone who deeply loves the University of Liberia, as you do. Let us begin with absolute honesty. For too long, the University of Liberia has struggled with systemic challenges. We have lived through a long period where things have been less than ideal, indeed, deplorable at times. I know you are tired. I know you are frustrated.

Your decision to withhold your labor is a visible symptom of decades of accumulated grievances. Let me say clearly to our faculty and staff: I hear you, I see you, and UL Administration hears you and sees you. You cannot teach effectively in classrooms with crumbling infrastructure. You cannot look after your families without absolute certainty that your social security contributions via NASSCORP are fully paid and secured. You cannot feel valued when persistent salary disparities mean two people doing the exact same job are compensated differently. These are not merely "concerns"—they are fundamental issues of dignity, equity, and institutional justice. You care about them, and I care about them.

Our Board of Trustees has heard you as well. They have given my administration a direct, urgent mandate to step up our pace and show visible, meaningful progress on many fronts immediately. We are moving from promises to concrete actions, in the shortest possible time.

Here are just a few of the things we are doing right now to address your grievances:

• On NASSCORP Social Security Payments: Through a series of working meetings, the UL Administration, NASSCORP, and the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning (MFDP) just yesterday came to a consensus about the amount owed to bring UL into full compliance regarding NASSCORP remittances. The Government of Liberia has generously agreed to pay this amount in full. Therefore, NASSCORP has agreed to begin enrolling all eligible UL retirees immediately and offer them their full legal pensions. This will ensure a dignified and just retirement for UL faculty and staff who have reached retirement age.

• On Salary Disparity Complaints: UL Administration accepts the data provided by ULSA with regard to salary disparities and has updated the ULSA study with newer data that confirms the same findings. The UL payroll has been analyzed to determine the specific amount needed to bring each employee in a given job category to the highest modal salary for that job category. Because salary changes are made with each annual budget, UL will put the new, improved salaries for each affected employee into the FY2027 budget proposal. To prevent salary disparities from occurring in the future, UL Administration is completing a role documentation exercise by August 31st that will enshrine the correct salary ranges for each type of position based on qualifications, educational degree, seniority, and performance criteria. ULSA and ULFA will have the opportunity to review and comment on this scheme before final implementation. Salaries for all new hires will conform to the established scheme. The UL Administration is committed to a transparent reconciliation process to ensure equal pay for equal work under the new framework.

• On Transportation for Faculty and Staff: Through a gift initiated by His Excellency President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr. and approved by the National Legislature, the Government of Liberia is procuring new buses for students, faculty, and staff of the University of Liberia through the National Transportation Authority. NTA has confirmed to UL Administration that these new 62-seater buses have been ordered from India and are scheduled to arrive before the end of this year. During September, UL Administration will conduct a survey to assess demand for bus transportation among the three constituencies and gather location data from stakeholders to design optimal bus routes given the number of buses to be donated—information we are still awaiting. The proposed bus routes will be shared with ULFA, ULSA, and student leadership for review and comment before the final routes are decided.

• On the New HR Manual: The Board of Trustees endorsed the new HR Manual on July 15, 2026, with an effective date of August 1, 2026. To accommodate ongoing faculty and staff feedback, the Board highlights the manual's transitional provisions, which mandate an annual internal review and a comprehensive triennial review. Furthermore, the Board has commissioned independent first-year reviews by an external HR expert and the Civil Service Agency to ensure alignment with best practices and Liberian law. The manual will be distributed electronically to all employees via UL email by the end of this week, with hard copies provided to division heads, ULFA, ULSA, and AFA-UL. To support implementation, the HR Office will host monthly training workshops from August through December 2026, transitioning to a semesterly schedule in 2027. These workshops, along with a new physical suggestion box outside the HR office, will serve as continuous channels for community feedback and review.

• On Urgent Campus Infrastructure: National government consultations have finalized a UL campus renovation and modernization plan. In FY2026, $2.2 million will fund a new 25-classroom building at the Fendall Campus. This facility will offer immediate swing space during large-scale renovations of the A/B Building, Science College, and Engineering College, while providing long-term capacity for UL's most populous campus. The remaining $4.1 million will upgrade or overhaul facilities at Capitol Hill, Dogliotti, and Straz-Sinje, addressing many immediate infrastructure concerns raised by ULFA and ULSA and changing the face of UL to the public.

Colleagues, while we aggressively fix crucial institutional issues, we must also confront our most urgent reality: The Board of Trustees has issued a clear, non-negotiable directive: the University of Liberia will reopen its doors on August 25th, and all faculty and staff must return to work. This is a mandate from our governing body, but more importantly, it is a moral mandate from the nation.

Our doors must open because of the primary stakeholders of this institution—our students.

Every day our gates remain closed, a young Liberian’s future is put on hold. Every week of a work stoppage or go-slow action is a week stolen from the next generation of our country’s doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, civil servants, and educators. Our students have done nothing wrong, yet they bear the heaviest cost of our internal disputes. They are waiting on us to fulfil our promise to them.

Let us be clear: Returning to work is not a surrender of your struggle for better conditions. It is a declaration that even in our disagreement, our commitment to the youth of Liberia remains unshakable. They will thank you for it. We must prove to our students, and to the families and benefactors who sacrifice to send them here, that we are capable of resolving our administrative and labor challenges without sacrificing their education.

We are going back to the classrooms to serve and support our students. But as we return, we are not returning to the same broken environment. We are returning to build an institution where fairness, reason, and justice reign and a stable and conducive learning environment enables us to do our jobs in peace and comfort—the very things you are fighting for.

When we open our doors in coming days, we are not just reopening campus buildings; we are inaugurating a completely new era for the University of Liberia.

Let us be completely honest with one another. For years, our university has suffered under a culture where "anything goes" and where "rules are treated as mere suggestions." This lack of discipline has not made us free; it has made us weak. It has allowed chaos to thrive, favoritism to dictate promotions, precious resources to be diverted, and the inconsistency of our academic calendar to undermine our academic standing. It is time to rebrand ourselves and live up to the nobility of our national flagship status.

Let us turn to our sacred writings for moral guidance and encouragement. As a deeply religious people—whether we draw our guidance from the Bible, the Holy Qur'an, or the Baha'i Writings—we know that this shift from chaos to order is not just a bureaucratic necessity. It is a profound spiritual and moral imperative.

The Christians among us know well the command of the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 14:40: "But all things should be done decently and in order." This is because, as scripture reminds us, the Divine is not an author of confusion but of peace. A university without order cannot fulfil its societal calling to enlighten minds.

Likewise, our Muslim colleagues understand the foundational Islamic concept of Muhasabah—daily self-evaluation. The Holy Qur'an warns in Surah An-Nahl 16:90: "Indeed, Allah commands justice, the doing of good... and He forbids all shameful deeds, and injustice and rebellion." We must also remember the wise counsel of Caliph Umar, who said: "Hold yourselves accountable before you are held accountable." If we want a just university, we must first submit to a system of mutual accountability.

And from the Baha'i Writings, we receive a profound redefinition of freedom. Bahá’u’lláh writes in the Kitáb-i-Aqdas: "True liberty consisteth in man’s submission unto My commandments." He further commands in The Hidden Words: "Bring thyself to account each day ere thou art summoned to a reckoning." The Baha'i teachings remind us that true liberty is found within the boundaries of just laws, while an "anything goes" attitude leads only to chaos unbecoming of human nobility and structural decay in our social institutions.

For those who prefer a strictly secular ethical approach, we need only to reflect on Liberia’s commitment to the principle of rule of law, and the national struggle to uphold it through the progression of national policy in response to national needs and aspirations. Leaders of all stripes have made valuable contributions in this regard.

Whether through the lens of faith or the lens of civic ethics, the conclusion is identical: we must move away from laxity and step into a well-ordered work and school environment characterized by accountability, transparency, and fairness.

My principles are simple: an unwavering commitment to the welfare of our students, an openness to dialogue with all stakeholders, and my determination to strengthen, not divide, the University community. While there are times that I must exert legitimate institutional authority, I must simultaneously create opportunities for all stakeholders to be heard, for misunderstandings to be clarified, for relationships to be repaired, and for practical solutions to be jointly developed. This is the roadmap that lies ahead.

Colleagues, this pivot to order is about something much greater than just the walls of the University of Liberia. It is about the soul and the future of our Republic.

The University of Liberia is the crucible of our nation. From our campuses come the leaders, the policymakers, the innovators, the educators, and the wealth creators who must carry Liberia forward. But we must ask ourselves an honest, painful question: How can we lift our nation out of poverty, fragility, and corruption if we allow our nation’s premier university to remain fractured, undisciplined, and chaotic? We cannot give to Liberia what we do not manifest ourselves.

When we relaunch the HR Manual, when we secure your NASSCORP payments, when we address salary disparities, when we fix the classrooms, and when we demand demonstrated dedication, excellence, and accountability from every instructor, administrator, staff member, and student, we are not just running a school. We are modeling the Liberia we want to see. We are returning the nation’s flagship university to its world-renowned, world-embracing, world-class stature.

This is our turning point. The Board of Trustees has set our course, the UL Administration is moving aggressively to fix your legitimate grievances, and the students are waiting. I call upon the leadership of ULFA and ULSA, and every individual employee, to join together in service to our students. Let us end this work stoppage immediately, not in defeat, but in a shared victory of mutual commitment to our students and the nation. Let us return to our classrooms in a few weeks—not to the old way of doing things, but to a new era of order, discipline, and professional excellence.

For the sake of our students, for the honor of our professions, and for the ultimate upliftment of the Republic of Liberia, let us begin this work, today.

May God bless the University of Liberia, and may He bless our nation. Thank you.

Signed,

Layli Maparyan, Ph.D.
President, University of Liberia

President Boakai Orders Dismissals, Suspensions, and Further Investigations
in Ongoing Narcotics Cases

Thursday, July 30, 2026

Executive Mansion, Monrovia –: President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., has ordered the
immediate dismissal, suspension, and investigation of several officials of government and law enforcement personnel following his review of the latest status report on ongoing investigations into major narcotics trafficking cases.

The actions form part of the Government’s continued efforts to uphold accountability,
strengthen the rule of law, and ensure that public officials entrusted with serving the
Liberian people conduct themselves with integrity and in full compliance with the law

Following a review of the findings submitted by the relevant authorities, President Boakai
has, with immediate effect, dismissed Mr. Mark Egon Kuiah, Deputy Director for
Operations at the Roberts International Airport (RIA), Mr. Johnny Bolar Dean,
Commissioner of Police for Criminal Investigation, Intelligence and INTERPOL, and Mr. Patrick Doe, Deputy Director for Administration at the National Security Agency (NSA), from their respective positions.

The President has further recalled Mr. Patrick Komasu (702), who had been seconded to
the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA), from that assignment, suspended without
pay, and directed that he be placed under investigation.

Additionally, President Boakai has ordered the immediate dismissal of all government
employees and law enforcement officers indicted in connection with the seizure of 198
plates of processed co***ne at the Roberts International Airport and the confiscation of
3,971 plates of co***ne from the premises of two foreign nationals.

Those dismissed are:

• Mohammed O. Gbowrah, Director of Security, Roberts International Airport;

• Moses Jallah, Deputy Commander, Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency, Roberts
International Airport.

The President has also ordered the dismissal of two officers of the Liberia National Police
who are said to have used official government vehicles to facilitate the transportation of
a narcotics consignment from Vincent Town along the Bomi Highway to the vicinity of
Mega Mart in Thinker Village, Paynesville.
They are:

• Anthony T. Blaye;
• Wadell W. Kwarbo

President Boakai has also directed the immediate dismissal of the following individuals and ordered that they be forwarded to the Ministry of Justice for prosecution in accordance with the law:
• Jammel V. Jallah, Agent, National Security Agency;
• Christian L. Nyantee, Agent, National Security Agency;
• Caycee Nelson, Procurement Director, Ministry of Gender, Children and Social

President Boakai said these actions demonstrate his Administration's resolve to ensure that no public official or government employee who engages in criminal conduct remains in public service.

He stressed that the Government will continue to enforce the law without fear or favor and will hold accountable anyone found to have participated in narcotics trafficking or
related criminal activities.

The President has further directed all relevant security and law enforcement institutions
to intensify their investigations and ensure that every individual connected to these cases is brought before the courts in accordance with due process of law.

The Executive Mansion assures the Liberian people that the Government will continue to

Republic of Liberia

STATEMENT ON THE PROPOSED DESTRUCTION OF SEIZED NARCOTICS IN LIBERIA

I have taken note of reports indicating that the Government of Liberia, through its law enforcement agencies, intends to destroy the large cache of narcotics recently seized while investigations into this major international drug trafficking case are reportedly still ongoing.

Let me be unequivocally clear: I fully support the fight against illicit drugs and commend our security institutions for intercepting this dangerous shipment before it reached our communities or international markets.

Drug trafficking is a grave threat to our national security, our youth, and Liberia's international reputation.

However, our commitment to combating crime must never come at the expense of the rule of law and due process.

Given the magnitude of this seizure and the indication that investigations remain active, it is imperative that the Government first assures the Liberian people that every legal and forensic requirement has been fully satisfied before any destruction of the seized narcotics takes place.

The public deserves confidence that:

All necessary forensic examinations and laboratory analyses have been completed;

Adequate samples have been preserved in accordance with the law for future prosecution;

The chain of custody has been fully documented and secured;

Every individual connected to this criminal enterprise has been identified, investigated, and, where appropriate, charged;

The proposed destruction has received all required legal authorizations and judicial oversight.

This case extends far beyond the seizure of illegal drugs. It concerns dismantling an organized transnational criminal network that reportedly used Liberia as a transit point. Every piece of evidence must therefore be preserved in a manner that protects the integrity of future prosecutions, whether in Liberia or through international cooperation.

The premature destruction of evidence, without complete transparency regarding the legal procedures followed, risks undermining public confidence and could inadvertently weaken efforts to ensure that all those responsible are brought to justice.

This is not a call to preserve illegal drugs indefinitely. Rather, it is a call to preserve justice.

I therefore respectfully urge the Government, the Liberia National Police, the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency, the Ministry of Justice, and all relevant authorities to ensure that the destruction of any seized narcotics occurs only after the public has been assured that every legal, investigative, and evidentiary requirement has been fulfilled.

Liberia's fight against drug trafficking must be firm, credible, transparent, and fully anchored in the rule of law. In matters of this national importance, justice must not only be done—it must be seen to be done.
