Sponsors of the Sundaygar Music & Entertainment Foundation based in the United States have broken silence on the ongoing saga between Liberia's foremost musical star Michael S. Davies, alias Sundaygar Dearboy and the Truth & Reconciliation Commission (TRC).
In a release issued yesterday in Monrovia, the U.S-based group noted that now that Mr. David Sayweh has exposed the sinister, diabolic and profoundly disturbing plot of one of the TRC Commissioners, all eyes are once again on the TRC.
The group has at the same time expressed the hope that as sufficient evidence exists to support the current account by David Sayweh, the accused commissioner will now come forward and do the honorable thing by telling the truth. "We expect nothing less than the truth," the U.S-based sponsors of Mr. Dearboy added.
"There is no much at stake here-the credibility of the TRC process, the faith of the Liberian people in the TRC and Ms. Washington's own credibility," the release further noted.
Dearboy's sponsors further pointed out that they would consider this action as a gross abuse of the public's trust and faith and a complete travesty of justice. "We will then be left with no other alternative but to file a lawsuit on behalf of Sundaygar Dearboy against the accused commissioner and her co-conspirators for cohesion of witnesses, perjury and character assassination," the group stressed.
"We remain willing, ready and prepared for protracted litigation with its attendant vagaries, if that is what will take for justice to flow, the rule of law respected and the full rehabilitation of Sundaygar Dearboy's name and reputation," they concluded.
Some of the USA-based sponsors who signed the release include Joseph Sinyan, Oretha Sneh, Matthew Sneh, Mackeline Wilson, John Karpeh, Isaac Freeman, Philip Vanbramm, Lawrence Zumo, Joseph Davis, Obediah Gardee, Isaac Gbehan, among several others.
Meanwhile, the U.S-based Sundaygar Dearboy sponsors have written the Chairman of the TRC noting that they are keenly following the current hearings as it relates to the allegations against Mr. Dearboy and the recent confessions of David Sayweh, one of his accusers.

According to the letter, a copy of which was obtained by this paper, the group said given the gravity of the recent recantations, confessions and cross references made by the witness, they believe that it is in the supreme interest of the state and people of Liberia that as Chairman of such a lofty body Chairman Verdier immediately launch a full scale investigation with rapid dissemination of findings, within the powers given him by the TRC mandate.
