If [it does not] take action against those officials, [it] will be held liable for any disaster,\u201d said Bishop Brown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone in recent times has been talking about the poor management of the airport and I think that situation needs concrete actions on the part of the government,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Liberian clergy indicated that the airport is the nation\u2019s premium airport and one of the most important facilities in this country, urging the government not to allow incompetent people to manage it.<\/p>\n<p>According to Bishop Brown, there has to be accountability for their actions, arguing that you can\u2019t have people doing their own thing and going with impunity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t run [a] government like that. If President Weah wants his government to be taken seriously, then he must take action to avoid embarrassment,\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n<p>It can be recalled that a late-night power outage on April 27, at the Roberts International Airport, forced an inbound Brussels Airlines flight to return to Freetown, from whence it came.<\/p>\n<p>The incident caused panic over the safety of the passengers aboard the aircraft. The power outage, which lasted for about 30 minutes, according to RIA\u2019s Acting Managing Director, Martin Hayes, was due to a power switchover at the Roberts Flight Information Region (FIR).<\/p>\n<p>The FIR provides electricity for the RIA control tower and the runway. The aircraft was scheduled to land at about 7:15 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
