By 
Monrovia, Liberia — President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr. has taken decisive administrative actions aimed at reinforcing accountability and integrity in public institutions, temporarily suspending top officials of the National Commission on Disabilities (NCD) amid allegations of mismanagement, while also approving the retirement of the Supreme Court’s long-serving Marshal.
Acting on recommendations from a Special Investigative Committee, the President has suspended NCD Executive Director Samuel Dean and Deputy Executive Director Winifred Paye pending the outcome of a comprehensive audit into the Commission’s operations. The move follows concerns over alleged financial and administrative improprieties at the institution.
To avoid disruption in services during the investigation, President Boakai appointed Apostle J. Aaron Wright, Sr. as Acting Executive Director and Emary Amos Jessie as Acting Deputy Executive Director of the Commission.
In furtherance of the probe, the President has instructed the General Auditing Commission (GAC) to conduct a full-scale audit of the NCD, signaling his administration’s determination to address allegations transparently while respecting due process.
The Executive Mansion said the actions underscore President Boakai’s commitment to accountability, transparency, and responsible governance, stressing that no public institution or official is above scrutiny.
Meanwhile, in a separate but significant decision, President Boakai has approved the retirement of Brigadier General Amos B.K. Dickson, Sr., Marshal of the Supreme Court of Liberia, following a recommendation from Chief Justice Yamie Quiqui Gbeisay, Sr.
Brigadier General Dickson exits public service after 38 years of distinguished service to the judiciary and the Liberian state. The President commended him for his loyalty, professionalism, and unwavering dedication to national duty.
All actions, the government noted, are in keeping with Section 14.1 of the Judiciary Law of 1972 and the President’s constitutional authority, exercised with the advice and consent of the Senate where applicable.
The Government of Liberia reaffirmed its resolve to uphold good governance, the rule of law, and the credibility of public institutions.
