Monrovia —In a shocking move, Liberian President George Weah has sacked Cllr Copper Kruah as Minister of Post and Telecommunications and nominated Worlea-Saywah Dunah as his replacement, sparking a wave of controversy across the country.
The decision came just a day after Kruah participated in an opposition program, which included the announcement of Joseph Boakai’s running mate for the upcoming elections. The move has been met with mixed reactions from the public, with some calling for the president to exercise restraint and others demanding Kruah’s immediate dismissal.
The tension surrounding the decision has been further exacerbated by the strong opposition from Representative Acarous Gray and other ranking members of the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change. However, the President has chosen to push ahead with the appointment of Dunah as the new Minister.
Dunah is an accomplished administrator and veteran public servant, having previously served as a Nimba County Representative from 2006 to 2018. His nomination is now subject to confirmation by the Honorable Liberian Senate.
The decision to replace Kruah has sparked a heated debate in the country, with many questioning the motives behind the move. Some have accused the President of using his power to silence opposition voices, while others have praised him for taking decisive action to protect the interests of the ruling party.
President Weah sacked Mr. Kruah, a Nimbaian, to appoint Mr. Dunah, another Nimbaian. The president might be playing the political card to appease the people of Nimba County so they would not see him as a divisive president.
As tensions continue to rise in Liberia, the country is bracing for what could be a highly contentious election season. With the appointment of Dunah, it remains to be seen how the political landscape will evolve and what impact it will have on the outcome of the upcoming elections.
