Liberian President Joseph Boakai this week suspended indefinitely the chair of the National Elections Commission (NEC), Davidetta Browne-Lansanah. This comes as the country is scheduled to hold by-elections in two months. Presidential press secretary Kula Fofana tells VOA’s James Butty, commission chair Browne-Lansanah took unilateral decisions, including the dismissal of 25 employees, without the approval of the NEC Board of Commissioners.
