Former president Moses Z. Blah has said that the former GOL will exert every
effort to bring lasting peace to Liberia. He said as head of the former Government
of Liberia, he will collaborate and cooperate with relevant groups including
the United States Government, the International Community, the African Union,
ECOWAS and the National Transitional Government of Liberia (NTGL) to fully
implement the comprehensive Accra peace accord.
Mr. Blah made the statement during the week when he met with nominees of the
former GOL at his Paynesville residence, outside Monrovia. He said the Accra
peace accord calls for equal treatment of the various warring factions and
pointed out that no government nominee will be molested or harassed as is
being perceived in certain quarters.
Former president Blah who is also the standard-bearer of the National Patriotic
Party(NPP) assured the group’s nominees that their positions will not
be tampered with in any way by any group unless it was necessary for his office
to do so in the interest of peace.
He then setup a three-man committee headed by Solicitor General-designate
Counselor Theophilus Gould to investigate, and report to him in two days,
claims that some government nominees have been denied the right to take their
respective offices in the NTGL.
