The Liberian Senate has called for the removal of Dr. Josiah F. Joekai Jr., head of the Civil Service Agency, after he wore a NIMBO T-shirt at a pro-President Boakai rally. The Senate ruled that the act violated the National Code of Conduct, which bans public officials from engaging in partisan political displays.
Joekai now faces potential sanction or dismissal by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai. The case highlights ongoing tensions over political neutrality in Liberia’s civil service. No official response from the president has been reported.
