Credible report reaching this paper has it that the Ministry of Justice is unable to account for the over US$600,000 allotted in the 2022-2023 budget during the George Weah-led government for the purchasing of vehicles for County Attorneys who are out of the country.
Acording to report, the money was part of the Ministry of Justice's budget approved by the lawmakers for the operations of the Ministry but some County Attorneys who spoke on condition of anonymity are pointing fingers at the former Solicitor General, Nyanti Tuan who they claimed to have received the money but failed to purchase the cars for the fifteenth counties.
"I did not receive any money allotted for prosecution vehicles though it was approved by the lawmakers. When you are in government not everything you can talk about," Cllr. Tuan told this news outlet. "I risking my life on a daily basis for this government work on motorbike here and there to get to work passing by family members of people that we are prosecuting which put my life in danger," one the County Attorneys explained with sadness.
"Mr. Minister, you need to understand that Prosecutors are your direct representatives in the counties because since your ascendancy, you have not placed a call to us to know some of those challenges we are going through," another Prosecutor said.
