Monrovia, December 11, 2024: Supreme Court Justice in Chamber Yamie Gbeisay has declined to issue a writ of certiorari prayed for by state prosecutors concerning former Finance Minister Samuel Tweah and others.
The Justice in Chamber recently placed a temporary stay order on the trial process pending a determination of a conference scheduled for Tuesday, December 10, 2024.
Justice is expected to mandate that the lower court judge proceed.
It’s unclear whether or not the state will take an appeal before the full bench of the Supreme Court.
Former Minister Tweah and other former officials are on trial for multiple charges on allegations of corruption.
Sources have informed this paper that the state might pray for a change of venue.
The case is currently before the Circuit Court in Monrovia. The conference was held in the chamber of the Associate Justice.
The state argued that the bond (property bond) filed by defendant Tweah was insufficient to represent the defendants in any court of law.
