The government of Liberia has failed to win four landmark tenure cases regarding heads of four agencies: the Liberia Telecommunications Authority, Governance Commission, Liberia Lottery Authority, and the Liberia National Identification Registry.
Monrovia — These cases were lost due to procedural errors in President Joseph Nyumah Boakai's nominations, as per a Supreme Court ruling on Wednesday.
The Court found that President Boakai's actions were not in line with the law and that those occupying the four positions in question were not granted due process. The rights of the petitioners were deemed violated, emphasizing the importance of respecting tenure. However, the ruling did not favor Tarpeh, who was also seeking a tenure position and associated benefits if replaced. The Court previously ruled that EPA Executive Director Wilson Tarpeh was acting, not officially appointed, and therefore not eligible for tenure.
