Report reaching this paper says that the Liberian Embassy in Rome is currently engaged in an illegal sale of Liberian passports and birth certificates amongst others.

i deem it very much necessary to tell all this people that are write commemts here to keep their mouth close ,if Lieberians have any way to pay back what African countries did for you people when you people are in need, because no white man or woman like me will need Lieberian passport, the matter of fact is that people just write usless things here without thinking, i will like to ask this question,the people Liberia suposed to be even happy that some body even agree to have that passport with Liaberia on it, is a shame i dont even want that name rather than having that passport of so called hungry Liberian,
One cannot look further to see that there will always be cronies that will do anything to line their pockets, regardless of what shame it brings to this country, whose image has been so bruised internationally. For anyone who considers himself or herself a citizen of a country to argue that it's okay for noncitizens to illegally obtain passports is not only shameful, but criminal. I hope that the government of Liberia not look the other way, but bring these bandits and their culprits to justice.
With this information, sales of Liberian passport in Rome, Italy, I called on the Ellen Sirlear's government to move with the most higher speed to replace all involved at the embassy without delay. Those of us who live in the diaspora, mainly in the USA are seeing this recklesss behaviour by past Liberian diplomats. It is so bad and embrassing that individuals who bear liberian passports commits crimes that are blamed on the Liberians. Where there's smoke, there is fire; there is some truth to this story. The government must act now to save face.
