Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>In May, President George Weah dismissed then Minister of Posts and Telecommunications Cooper Kruah after attending a Unity Party rally, ending the veteran lawyer\u2019s four-year stint in the government.<\/p>\nKruah\u2019s departure sparked an instant controversy\u2014betrayal versus \u201cpolitical intolerance.\u201d However, he has left a host of irregularities in the logging and mining industries with impunity.<\/p>\n
These offenses range from a conflict of interest to an unlawful extraction of minerals and timber in his hometown of Nimba County. The acts violate the Liberian Constitution, the Code of Conduct for Public Officials, the National Forestry Reform Law and the Minerals and Mining Law of 2000.<\/p>\n
UFC was established on February 9, 1986. Edward Slangar, a former presidential advisor, holds 10 percent. Jim Kyung follows with 70 percent. Naranyan Vasnani, a foreign national, holds five percent. And Cooper Kruah the remaining five percent, according to the company\u2019s legal documents at the Liberian Business Registry.<\/p>\n
President Weah appointed Kruah in February 2018 and was confirmed by the Senate in August 2018. However, Kruah did not relinquish his shares or take other legal actions to avoid a conflict of interest.<\/p>\n
UFC would go on to have more than a dozen mining licenses and a logging contract in Nimba and Grand Bassa, while Kruah served as the Postmaster General of the Republic of Liberia.<\/p>\n
Cover-up Exposed<\/b><\/p>\n
The DayLight initially exposed then-Minister Kruah in an investigation last year. After the publication, Kruah lied that UFC amended its article of incorporation in 2019. \u201cThis amendment of the article of incorporation is the best evidence for the public,\u201d Kruah said in a statement at the time.<\/p>\n
But records of the Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) show that UFC did not amend its article of incorporation in 2019. Companies pay a fee at the LRA to amend their legal documents. UFC did not make any such payment, official records show.<\/p>\n
This new evidence reinforces The DayLight\u2019s previous reports.<\/p>\n
Moreover, UFC\u2019s so-called article of incorporation, obtained by The DayLight, physically appears to be fake. The document misspells Kruah son`s name: \u201cPrince M. Kuah\u201d instead of Prince M. Kruah. It also came more than one and a half years since Kruah became a government official.<\/p>\n
Conflict of interest aside, evidence points to UFC\u2019s violations of forestry and mining laws while Cooper Kruah was a minister.<\/p>\n
Stealing Logs<\/b><\/p>\n
A high-profile 2021 report found UFC committed a number of offenses. The report said UFC did not declare \u201cmassive\u201d harvesting of timber in the Sehzueplay Community Forest, felled trees outside of its contract area, and transported logs to a sawmill without valid documents. The report also found UFC did not pay the community and the government any fees for the logs.<\/p>\n
Illegally harvesting timber violates a number of forestry legal frameworks, including Liberia\u2019s Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA) with the European Union. No actions were taken against UFC with then Minister Cooper Kruah as one of its shareholders.<\/p>\n
The Liberia Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (LEITI) report for 2019-2020 shows UFC skipped an environmental permit. And The DayLight reported UFC did obtain a harvesting certificate before operating, citing a ranger\u2019s memo.<\/p>\n
As of March 2022, UFC owed both the affected community and the government US$155,000, according to the joint implementation committee of the VPA. This is the second-highest debt owed by a logging company at the time. The FDA did not grant The DayLight\u2019s request for UFC\u2019s updated outstanding payment, another violation of forestry laws.<\/p>\n
UFC subcontracted an illegitimate company without the approval of the FDA or the consent of the leadership of Sehzueplay Community Forest. The manager of Ihsaan Logging Company Mohammed Paasawe was dismissed as Superintendent of Grand Cape Mount County for corruption.<\/p>\n
The FDA could have avoided all of this, though. It ignored the Regulation on Bidder Qualification, by prequalifying UFC to operate, while then Minister Cooper Kruah remained its shareholder.<\/p>\n
The agency did not respond to questions for comments. However, last year, Managing Director Mike Doryen promised to investigate and take appropriate actions against UFC and Cooper Kruah but has not. \u201cI will not protect any official of government who breaks the law,\u201d Doryen said at the time.<\/p>\n
Conflict of interest carries a fine between US$10,000 and US$25,000, up to three times the sum Kruah has received from his equity in UFC, or a prison term of up to 12 months, according to the National Forestry Reform Law.<\/p>\n
UFC\u2019s Illegal Goldmines<\/b><\/p>\n
UFC thrived with Kruah a cabinet minister. Between 2018 and last month when he was sacked, the Ministry of Mines and Energy awarded UFC nearly a dozen mining licenses and a dealer license, according to official records. It managed only a few prior to Kruah\u2019s appointment.<\/p>\n
That boom is reflected in UFC\u2019s figures. In the 2018-2019 period alone, UFC produced 16.85 kilograms of gold with export valued at US$313.525, according to the LRA payment record. It paid the government US$99,545, one of the highest contributions then, the Liberia Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (LEITI) reported.<\/p>\n
The ministry unlawfully allowed UFC to operate, despite Kruah\u2019s admitting to a conflict of interest, and did not penalize him or the company amid the evidence.<\/p>\n
The ministry declined an interview on the subject in the last 12 months. On both occasions, Minister Gesler Murry referred The DayLight to Deputy Minister Operations Emmanuel Sherman, who evaded an interview.<\/p>\n
Like the forestry law, the Mineral and Mining Law requires officials to not hold shares in companies that actively operating. It prescribes a fine of not more than US$25,000, a prison term of up to one year, or both upon conviction in a courthouse.<\/p>\n
Kruah declined an interview, the second time he has refused to speak on his connection with UFC. This month, he promised to grant an interview on the matter but\u2014like last year\u2014insisted he did not want the conversation recorded. This reporter rejected that suggestion, as it goes against The DayLight\u2019s editorial policy.<\/p>\n
