Monrovia — The Criminal court "C" at the Temple of Justice has selected six jurors out of a total of 15 empanelled jury required to try economic sabotage case involving five former officials of the erstwhile National Transitional Government.

During the selection process Monday, the jurors were immediately qualified by both prosecution and defense lawyers and placed on the bench.

According to the court, the selection of additional jurors would be completed later this week to ensure trial begins as soon as possible.

The court has on two occasions suspended the case and juror selection process due to poor health of former NTGL Chairman Charles Gyude Bryant and the absence of co- defendant Senator Richard Devine who was reported to have traveled to the United States on official assignment.

The five former officials including NTGL Chairman Charles Gyude Bryant, LPRC Managing Director Edwin Swone, Jr., including his Administrative Assistant, Andy Quimie, Deputy Managing Director Richard Devine and Comptroller, Siaka Sheriff were indicted in 2006 for diverting over a million dollar public funds into their personal use.
