President Ellen Johnson has expressed deep “shocked and distressed” over the vicious murder of Keith K. Jubah, Chairman of the Public Procurement Concession Commission (PPCC) who was shot to death Sunday.
The PPCC chief was reportedly shot dead and his remains burnt, with nothing reportedly taken from him-not even his wallet and two phones, police sources say.
Mr. Keith Jubah was murdered at his home at Morris Farm in Margibi County, and two of his killers have been arrested while a third is on the run, the Executive Mansion quoted the Police yesterday.
Presidential Press Secretary Cyrus Wleh Badio told a news briefing yesterday that “The President is deeply shocked and distressed over this heinous crime, which according to early police reports was the action of former disgruntled employees who have been fired.”
The President has extended her deepest condolences to the bereaved family upon hearing the sad news, he said.
“The late Keith Jubah was one of Liberia’s most decent public servants. He believed in the reform agenda of this country. Liberia has lost a great asset; his death will not go unpunished. Those found guilty of this gruesome cowardly act will be brought to justice,” Badio said.
Two of those allegedly involved in the murder, he disclosed, have already been apprehended. “They are Abel Bondo and James Linka. A third culprit is being sought by the Police.”
Meanwhile, President Sirleaf has also received with sadness the passing away of Ambassador Madam Eugenia A. Stevenson, the first woman to be appointed a Liberian Ambassador.
Ambassador Stevenson, who died in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA, at the age of 82, was first appointed Ambassador to Bonn, Germany in 1973 and ended her career as Liberian Ambassador to the USA, in Washington, DC.
