Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Gbarnga, Bong County, April 8, 2026 \u2014 The situation at Phebe Hospital in Bong County has reached a critical point, with more than 400 employees refusing to work under the current leadership, citing unresolved grievances and administrative disputes.<\/p>\n

The aggrieved workers have declared their unwillingness to continue working with the hospital\u2019s Medical Director, Dr. Minnie Sankawulo-Ricks, former Acting Human Resource Officer Peter Gbelarwo, and former Acting Administrator Jonathan Pewee.<\/p>\n

According to the aggrieved employees, their decision follows more than a month of inaction after they submitted a detailed 14-count complaint to relevant stakeholders.<\/p>\n

Despite raising what they describe as serious administrative and professional issues, the employees say none of their concerns have been addressed, prompting their ongoing protest.<\/p>\n

The situation has been further complicated by personnel decisions involving staff transfers and reinstatements.<\/p>\n

The aggrieved workers disclosed that three employees who were officially transferred by the Government of Liberia have refused to take up their new assignments.<\/p>\n

At the same time, seven previously suspended staff members were reinstated by directive of President Joseph Nyuma Boakai.<\/p>\n

However, the reinstated employees claim they have not received their March salaries, despite resuming duties.<\/p>\n
