Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>In an attempt to stamp his authority, the Resident Judge of the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court in Bong County Monday ordered that a Writ of Arrest be issued against members of the Bong County Bar Association who shunned the opening of the May 2022 Term of Court. Judge Boima Kontoe, however, said the Writ of Arrest will not affect those on judiciary duties.<\/p>\n

Judge Kontoe, who didn\u2019t disclose the penalities for the 26 members who missed Monday\u2019s Court opening, described the lawyers\u2019 actions as \u201clawlessness\u201d, insisting that it runs contrary to the oath they took to always endeavor to provide legal services to their county of origin.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m wondering why lawyers of the Bong County Bar Association who missed the opening of the May Term of Court can\u2019t be held in contempt for deliberately refusing to attend the opening of court,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time Judge Kontoe has issued a Writ of Arrest against members of the Bong County Bar Association for refusing to attend court hearing. It can be recalled Kontoe issued similar threat against members of the Bong County Bar Association who missed the February Term of Court. The 28 members of the Bar who missed the February Term of Court didn\u2019t suffer penalty despite Judge Kontoe\u2019s threat, FrontPageAfrica has gathered.<\/p>\n
