MONROVIA – An independent assessment conducted in the case involving Counsellor Benedict Sannoh and two complainants in which a six months’ suspension was recommended against him has uncovered what appears to be a chicanery, betrayal and ingratitude against him.
Following a series of hearings, the committee asked that he be suspended for alleged misconduct. But an independent probe has shown a more detailed information about what really transpired, how and why.
Cllr. Sannoh was approached by Madam Jallawleh Kollie to help them receive every benefit for a group policy of her late father, which he held with John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company when he worked for the Massachusett Bay Transport.
It was established by our assessment that this matter dates back to 2002 and was initially looked into by the Ministry of Justice.
On July 19, 2024, Madam Kollie again built a 160 thousand dollars case against Cllr. Sannoh, claiming he had negotiated on their behalf to receive such amount.
However, this was on the contrary again when Madam Kollie drew in Cllr. Varnie Sherman who she said had promised to give her 50 thousand on behalf of some relatives against said amount but she declined. It is not known whether the issue of the 160 thousand was taken before the committee.
A statute of limitation in the law says once a matter is not brought before the court after three years such matter is barred from being heard especially when those involved are in the country. It is more than twenty years since this issue came to the fore, our investigation has established.
