-Seen Giving Orders @ MFA
In the wake of widespread public speculations that President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf was poised to reappoint Madam Mary T. Broh to her former post of Acting Mayor of Monrovia, especially with growing pockets of calls for her to do so, the maverick “General”, as Madam Broh is popularly referred to, was yesterday at the Ministry Foreign Affairs’ Passport Division, where she was seen playing active role in serving individuals that had gone there in an attempt to obtain their passports.
After serving as Acting Mayor for the over six years, Madam Broh sometime this year resigned her post as Mayor, after an unpleasant brawl with the House of Representatives, over involvement in the saga surrounding former Montserrado Superintendent, Grace Kpaan and that body.
When quizzed by our reporter on her presence at the MFA, Madam Broh referred him to President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, saying, “you want to know what I am doing here, go up-stairs and ask the President”.
