Information reaching this paper reveals that President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has again appointed her son Robert Sirleaf as Culture and Commercial Attaché to UNESCO at the Liberian Embassy in Paris, France.
This position, according to the information, is basically allotted to Liberian based in France and it requires a well learned Liberian diplomat, and not a person with dual citizenship.
The person who has been serving in this position is Mr. Florian Wilhem, but Wilhem has been reportedly replaced.
With this position our diplomatic sources said, Mr. Robert Sirleaf will be entitled to a diplomatic passport while he resides in Liberia and serving as Chairman of the National Oil Company of Liberia (NOCAL) and Senior Advisor to the President, with the latter sparking criticisms in the public.
Mr. Sirleaf, who's unimpeachably said to be an American citizen, is currently serving in two major positions in government, while at the same time chairs other private institutions including the American-Liberian Mining Company (AMLIB).
Our sources also hinted that Mr. Sirleaf will transfer over USD$ 1-million annually to an unknown Bank in America, while at the same time he will have an oversight responsibility at the Liberian Embassy in France.
It is not yet clear whether Liberia's Ambassador to France Dulley Mckinley is aware of this new appointment, but reports say Liberians working at the Embassy are very disenchanted over the information.
When contacted, Presidential Press Secretary Jerolinmek Matthew Piah denied the information and said “In Profile should be careful not to mislead the public.” –Investigations continue. |
