A Liberian court has issued a stay order on all proceedings in a US$6 million economic sabotage case involving former government officials, including former Finance Minister Samuel Tweah. The order, issued by Justice-in-Chambers Yusif Kaba, suspends all legal actions until a conference scheduled for September 4, 2024. The case centers around allegations of unauthorized transfer of funds during the previous administration. The stay order comes after a petition arguing that the ongoing investigation could jeopardize national security. While Tweah has denied the allegations, this ruling provides a temporary reprieve for him and the other defendants, allowing them to avoid immediate arrest.
