Liberian President, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, has sacked 10
government officials who have been “out of the country without an excuse,” amid
a national Ebola crisis.
She said the officials had shown “insensitivity to our
national tragedy and disregard for authority.”
The 10 were given a one-week ultimatum more than a month ago
to return home.
The 10 officials include two commissioners, six assistant
ministers and two deputy ministers at the justice ministry.
The BBC reports that a press release issued from the
Presidency on Saturday indicated that the officials had been fired “with
immediate effect.”
The press release reads: “Junior officials who are not
subject to presidential approval will forfeit all compensation and benefits
until they return home to join in the fight against the Ebola virus disease.”
It listed the names of eight people in the category.
*** Is that decision too harsh, i really don't think so. What do you think?
