In a recent development, President Joseph Boakai has appointed Cyrus Saygbe as the Acting Director General of the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Authority (NaFAA). The announcement was made by Presidential Press Secretary Kula Fofana, confirming that Mr. Saygbe will take on the role in an acting capacity. This decision comes as the former Director General, Madam Emma Metieh Glasco, remains suspended from her position by the Liberian leader.
The appointment has sparked a strong reaction from Madam Glasco, who took to social media to express her frustration and disappointment. In a heartfelt post, she described the situation as a “political conspiracy” and a “complete disservice” to her contributions to Liberia. She lamented that her character had been maligned without any proof or investigation, stating, “So I am dismissed without a cause.” Her post ended with the hashtag #Justice4Emma, calling for fairness and transparency in the handling of her suspension.
The news has left many Liberians divided, with some supporting the President’s decision as a step toward accountability, while others question the fairness of the process, especially in light of Glasco’s claims of being dismissed without due process.
As the story unfolds, the public awaits further clarification from the government regarding the reasons behind Glasco’s suspension and the criteria for Saygbe’s appointment. For now, the situation highlights the complexities of leadership transitions and the importance of transparency in public administration.
