opinion

Months after Magistrate Victoria Worlobah Duncan of the Kakata Margibi County Magisterial Court described as "an insult to the Judiciary Branch of the Government" the alleged refusal of the President Pro-Tempore, Senator Abert T. Chie, to allow court Sheriff and officers of the Liberia National Police (LNP) to arrest Senate Secretary Nanborlor Singbeh, the magistrate herself has been allegedly linked to supporting the very Senate Secretary.

Magistrate Duncan demonstrated her alleged partiality immediately when she, on Monday, February 24, postponed Singbeh's US$825,000 criminal appearance bond justification hearing that was seriously challenged by Hans 's lawyers, without the knowledge of Mr. Hans Armstrong, a British national and Attorney-in-Fact of the 70 percent majority shareholders, Czech brothers Martin and Pavel Miloschewsky of the Czech -Republic owned company, MHM Eko-Liberia Limited. Singbeh's challenged bond is filed by the Sky Insurance Company.
