“Which country in the world will charge an individual with a silly crime of forging a laissez passer and grant diplomatic passports to transnational criminals and expect to be taken seriously? And accept a Nigerian fraudster as head of an integrity institution.”

“We Liberians look silly internationally when our government shows such pettiness. The regime and it is a petty one shows it is weak and unable to defend its actions since it wishes to silence one kid in Delaware. ”

“Imagine being ruled by such petty individuals when we are supposed to be beyond our sordid undemocratic past into a democratic dispensation. ”

“The war is over. Taylor is in jail. Doe is dead. We’ve had 18 years of peace. Do not take us back to the dark ages President Weah.”

Samuel Jackson, than stated Information Minister, Ledgerhood Rennie should know better than releasing a statement that would have a disadvantage effect on the image of the Government.

“My dear friend Ledgerhood Julius Rennie should know better as a free speech advocate from Radio Veritas a Catholic institution built by the venerable Michael Francis. Peace be to his ashes.”

“This nonsensical government position must be resisted.” Samuel Jackson posted on social media.
