Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of Liberia announces the immediate dismissal of Mr. Benjamin S. Karmorh, Jr., the Chief Technical Advisor (CTA) of the Agency, due to alleged criminal misconduct.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, January 23, 2024, Mr. Karmorh led a group of people raising concerns and disrupting normal operations within the Agency. Karmorh reportedly told the staff that he was now the new head of the EPA and \u201chad come to take over the agency because\u2019 Prof. Tarpeh\u2019s term is over.\u201d<\/p>\n

Karmorh, along with two suspended employees and other individuals, orchestrated an unauthorized takeover of the management of the EPA. The dismissal letter cited this act as a direct violation of the laws, rules, and regulations governing the Agency.<\/p>\n

This impersonation and unlawful action, according to an EPA statement signed by Danise Love Dennis-Dodoo, disrupted normal activities at the Agency and exposed the entity to undesirable public ridicule, posing a risk to its corporate reputation. Dennis-Dodoo is the head of Media and Corporate Communications at the agency.<\/p>\n

Karmorh’s reliance on Executive Order #123, which he used to justify his criminal actions, was misplaced. Executive Order #123 applies to non-tenured entities and does not extend to tenured agencies of the government. The Executive Director\/CEO is a tenured position with a seven-year renewable term.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe EPA takes this matter seriously, prioritizing adherence to the legal and regulatory frameworks that govern its operations. The Agency assures the public that it remains committed to upholding its mission of environmental protection and sustainable development,\u201d the agency said.<\/p>\n
