Thank you

Your piece was well written, with a linear narrative, an immaculate account, and plausible explanation on the spate of this case and other corruption cases. Bravo! you’re right in part, that there are others villains; the good side to Solomon Tardey though, is that he doesn’t lied for long.

Firstly, I must congratulate the editorial staffs of the Independent Eyes News (IEN) including the editorial staffs of the Minnesota Web for staying on top of this story. By helping the people of Konobo District in this way, you’ve just save a child who has no tuition to stay in the class-room. I called the action of both media institutions, a salvageable plan for the underprivileged.

The people of Konobo District have been robbed of their limited resources by a petite criminal only identified as Solomon Nyonbeor Tardey. However, we at Operation We Care For Liberia haven’t concluded our investigation. As you are aware, Mr. Tardey has accepted responsibility for mismanagement of Konobo Statutory District Association funds; couple with ethical failures. See the Independent Eyes News (IEN) alert dated 12.29.11

We were able to identify the gentleman in question and assigned him a corruption tag number as shown below. At the moment, we are looking in-dept into his criminal past; to see what action is appropriate to avoid similar future crime. Please see the databank below:

CORRUPTION TAG # KDSNT -03-19-64

Name: Solomon N. Tardey
Gender: Male
DOB: 08/27/1975
Country of Birth: Liberia
Race: African-American
Color of Eyes: Dark-Brown
Age: 36
Height: 5′-9”
Weight: 186 lbs

Elsewhere, on behave of Operation we Care for Liberia, I signed a documents on (12.28.11) from the Gbarzon District Council of Elders and Founders, under the agreement that they will influence Mr. Alphonso Zean Soe and Jerry Zeah to handover all asset of Gbarzon District Association in the Americas Inc. or they also risk being assigned a corruption tags follow by those actions necessary.

On that note, we’ve suspended activities here at the eastern seaboard region until all effort to retrieve the people of Gbarzon District funds develop a fault.

In the same vain, I want to thank our very abled Board of Advisors for a job well done. Indeed, the uttermost interest of THE ASSOCIATION must be protected at all cost. This is nothing personal. I hope Mr. Tardey will understand that nobody hates him. The sooner he refunds our hard-earned money, the better it will be for all of us.

To the rest of my fellow Grand Gedeahs, let this serve as a lesson to take elections VERY SERIOUS. During our tenure as president, we undertook numerous projects to improve the lots of our people. This is the raison d’etre of our organization: TO HELP OUR PEOPLE back home and in the diaspora.

Our administration did all that without any appreciation from detractors. In fact, this very MN web published a plethora of articles to our discredit without mentioning that we were paying teachers and built a modern library in Ziahtown, Konobo District. That library is being used today, by teachers and students from all over Grand Gedeh and Rivergee.

As a result of those negative publications and other misleading factors, Mr. Tardey was elected despite our numerous efforts to assist our people. Consequently, that we’ve come down this this point is a message from the Almighty God. He opens our eyes, like he did to Balaam in the Bible to ‘SEE’. Indeed, The Lord works in a mysterious way…

From the Book of Numbers 22-25, the story of Balaam and the talking donkey is below. Notice the similarity.

Have you ever sensed that God was telling you “No!” to something you wanted to do? But for personal gain or whatever motivation you had, you tried to talk God into doing things your way. Maybe it seemed like you changed God’s mind and He allowed you to go, even though that was not His first choice. How did that turn out? Did it give you peace and a close sense of walking with God?

Well Balaam’s experience was likely one he never forgot! I wasn’t there, but his story is a hard to forget. The next day Balaam saddled up his donkey and began his journey with the officials from Moab. While God allowed him to go, God was clearly not pleased with Balaam. The New Living Translation says God was furious that Balaam was going so he sent the angel of the Lord to stand in the road to block his way. As Balaam and two servants were riding along, Balaam’s donkey saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand. The donkey bolted off the road into a field, but Balaam beat it and turned it back onto the road. Then the angel of the LORD stood at a place where the road narrowed between two vineyard walls. When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, it tried to squeeze by and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall. So Balaam beat the donkey again. Then the angel of the LORD moved farther down the road and stood in a place too narrow for the donkey to get by at all. This time when the donkey saw the angel, it lay down under Balaam. In a fit of rage Balaam beat the animal again with his staff.

At this point the story takes a more dramatic twist. Here comes the talking donkey I mentioned earlier. Then the LORD gave the donkey the ability to speak. “What have I done to you that deserves your beating me three times?” it asked Balaam. “You have made me look like a fool!” Balaam shouted. “If I had a sword with me, I would kill you!” “But I am the same donkey you have ridden all your life,” the donkey answered. “Have I ever done anything like this before?” “No,” Balaam admitted.

Then the LORD opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the roadway with a drawn sword in his hand. Balaam bowed his head and fell face down on the ground before him. “Why did you beat your donkey those three times?” the angel of the LORD demanded. “Look, I have come to block your way because you are stubbornly resisting me. 33 Three times the donkey saw me and shied away; otherwise, I would certainly have killed you by now and spared the donkey.” Then Balaam confessed to the angel of the LORD, “I have sinned. I didn’t realize you were standing in the road to block my way. I will return home if you are against my going.”

You see the similarity here, the Konobo District people have ‘sinned’ by making the wrong choice. Hence, the Almighty stepped in to right this wrong. Let us learn our lesson from this mistake and get back on course.

Happy New Year. May 2012 be good to us all.

Former President

All Mr. Weeks’ sources were right about everything reported in this story. For the purpose of clarity and appropriate dissemination of the right information, Mr. Arthur K. Quaye, who happens to be one of the finest Presidents of KSDA, was appointed to head a ‘Task Force’ with a mandate from the Board of Directors to vigorously pursue you Mr. Solomon Tardey in recuperating the organization’s hard-earned finances. The KSDA National Board of Directors had some missteps in pronouncing the high profiled appointment, which has since been rectified and made clear to the membership through the local Chapters Leaders.

The National Board has a well defined responsibility: To uphold the constitution, and protect the interest and integrity of the organization. The Chairman of the Board, Dr. Al Boley mentioned everything reported by the Minnesota Web. Mr. Tardey, had you stayed and ended the teleconference with your fellow compatriots, you will be in no shape to argue about facts. My friend and brother, the only good and unique thing you can do for KSDA hard-due paying members and it well wishers, is to expedite the refunding of $5647.11 that was withdrawn from the organization’s bank account and siphoned by you within 3 months (10/2011 to 12/2011). A little hint to a wise man is quite sufficient.

Dear Sir:

This letter is in part, an attempt to review, why you’ve failed to report/update Grand Gedeans on the funds generated from the pre-inaugural program held in the Commonwealth State of Pennsylvania; couple with the inaugural program held in the state of Iowa.

On the issue of transparency, you’ve promised to introduce a reformist agenda, and exercise a constitutive function. This is neither a fulmination nor a malversation in any form, but an observation that contains truth, if not prima facie assessment.

I hope and pray, you will publish a full-frontal account as soon as possible. May the lord bless you and guard you in your work.

Yours,
Jackson Zleh Towah (401) 390 4792

I believed the action of the “Board of Directors of the Konobo District was overwhelmingly supported by the entire association without the involement of any “FOUNDER or SO-ESTABLISHMENT. I wish to congratulate the people of Konobo District for trusting the “Governing Body/Board of Directors to handle such a sensitive issue without the nosiness of the “Beltway Boys”.

To people of Konobo District, you have done yourself a just cause by respecting, and honoring your constitution. To Mr Solomon Tardy, you have brought shamed, and disgraced to the very people that trusted you to lead. Chairman Boley, thanks for your strong leadership
