Members of the Lower House of Parliament at Tuesday Regular Session yesterday, overwhelmingly voted to summon Information Minister, Dr. Lawrence Bropleh to appear before Plenary to show cause why he should not be held in contempt for allegedly misusing US$200,000 reportedly given to him by the Robert Johnson Foundation.

Dear editor, It is very important that Dr.(???)Lawrence Bropleh faces the parliament to account for this huge sum of money. But my question is, who is in charge of such interaction and to whom should such amount of money be paid?
Minister Lawrence Borpleh is a colorful gentlemen with very checkered backgroud, but as an information minister, is he also in charge of paying people to leave an environment or is he in charge of reconstructing a school?
Does he negotiate the sale of what I must term a national asset on behalf of the government?
There are many questions and issues here, but my only comment is that liberia cannot afford to go backward.
The Ellen Sirelf government should either put itself together or be prepared to leave power after this term.
