The Justice in Chambers of the Supreme Court, Yusif Kaba, was unable to issue a temporary prohibition on the suspension of J. Aloysius Tarlue, the Executive Governor of the Central Bank of Liberia, following Tarlue's assertion that his suspension by President Joseph Boakai violated the Central Bank Act and the Liberian Constitution.
The Justice in Chambers of the Supreme Court, Yusif Kaba, was unable to issue a temporary prohibition on the suspension of J. Aloysius Tarlue, the Executive Governor of the Central Bank of Liberia , following Tarlue's assertion that his suspension by President Joseph Boakai violated the Central Bank Act and the Liberia n Constitution. Instead, Justice Kaba has forwarded the prohibition request of the suspended Governor to the full bench of the Supreme Court for further consideration.
However, after a conference with both parties, Justice Kaba did not issue the stay order to lift Tarlue's suspension--but rather over the weekend transferred the case to the Full Bench of the High Court. The other issue is whether the President's suspension of Tarlue violates the Central Bank Act and the 1986 Constitution of Liberia, specifically due process; or whether the President has any constitutional duty to remove the CBL Executive Governor, except through the process of impeachment by the National Legislature.
Tarlue's suspension was intended to allow him to address the findings of the General Auditing Commission's compliance audit report, according to the Executive Branch.
