LACC must be unaware of the massive reduction in property value in the USA, and have selected to ignore the fact that this property was purchased in 2006 and the MD started at NPA in 2009,” Ms. Matilda Parker, Managing Director, NPA, in a text message response to a FrontPageAfrica inquiry.

Sirleaf on Media Friction: “There is absolutely no confusion. My record, unchangeable is one of media and press freedom. It is evident by the fact that for the first time in our country we did the Freedom of Information Act(FOI); first time the table mountain declaration, we subscribed to it. It is evident by the multiplicity of newspapers and radio stations private radio stations in our country, it is evidenced by the talk shows on those radio stations and in the media in which the government is taken to task all the time for one thing or the other and there’s no reaction. There’s definitely nothing repressive about the press. So the evidence on that is clear, the government’s position on this is clear. Anything else is completely out of context.”
