The Supreme Court of Liberia has issued a stay order on the high-profile economic sabotage case involving former government officials, including ex-Finance Minister Samuel Tweah. The order, issued in response to a writ of prohibition filed by the defendants, halts all proceedings pending a conference scheduled for March 10, 2025. This development has put jury selection on hold until further notice13.
The Supreme Court's intervention, particularly through a stay order, suggests that the highest judicial body sees merit in examining the defendants' arguments more closely. This move could be interpreted as a cautionary approach by the judiciary, ensuring that all legal protocols are strictly adhered to in a case with far-reaching political implications3.
As Liberia watches this unfolding drama, the March 10 conference looms large on the political calendar. The outcome of this high-level judicial meeting will determine the case's fate.
This is a developing Story.
