I have the two reports in my possession. Baker Tilly\u2019s report is quite different from the report that Grows presented by claiming that I Wilhelmina, I\u2019m a criminal, I stole money to be able to buy a car,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She said initially her case suffered a lot of intrusions, recalling how Liberia\u2019s Solicitor General Cllr. Saymah Syrenius Cephus initially went stopped the matter from being heard and removed defendant Shelley from the prisoner\u2019s bench.<\/p>\n<p>However, Madam Mulbah \u2013 Siaway said she cannot accuse anyone at this time regarding the delay because after Cllr. Cephus\u2019 previous actions, he later reconsidered his decision upon knowing the details of what happened, and then he gave her the go-ahead for the matter to be heard.<\/p>\n<p>She narrated that she has indicted Grow Liberia and it has received a copy of the summons from the court, but she is waiting to see the matter being heard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow we came back to see because I need my character to be cleared, I need my character to be cleared,\u201d said Madam Mulbah \u2013 Siaway.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, I\u2019m seeing a lot of delay process. Since we did the indictment it has been, even to get Grow Liberia, it\u2019s been very difficult because information \u2026 around [is that] they are shutting down,\u201d said Madam Mulbah \u2013 Siaway, adding that most of Grow Liberia\u2019s staff are like going out of the country. \u201cSo it\u2019s my fear and it has to do with my character,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p>In the indictment filed on 24 June 2021, Madam Mulbah \u2013 Siaway complained that between 2018 and June 2019, Grow Liberia, Elizabeth Shelley and Kim Beever of the City of Monrovia doctored or caused to be doctored, a forensic audit report to state that \u201cthe audit team found evidence that Mrs. Wilhelmina Mulbah, General Manager of MRE, fraudulently used US18, 000 of the Project\u2019s funds to purchase a vehicle for private use.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, the indictment said the audit report submitted by the auditors, Baker Tilly Liberia, did not contain such a claim, thereby accusing the defendants of committing the crimes of theft of property, forgery, criminal conspiracy, and criminal facilitation.<\/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.
