According to the presidential press secretary, the chairperson of the Anti –corruption Commission, Cllr. Francis Johnson-Morris, advised the Liberian leader that the legislation governing the commission does not permit it to do so.
He disclosed that the Justice Minister upon the directive of the President requested the Liberia National Bar Association to nominate a reputable lawyer to serve as prosecutor.
He however disclosed that efforts are being exerted to recruit a special prosecutor.
