By Lincoln G. Peters Temple of Justice, Monrovia, April 23, 2026: Former Finance and Development Planning Minister Samuel D. Tweah Jr. has categorically denied all corruption allegations leveled against him and four other former senior officials in the ongoing US$6.2 million economic sabotage trial at Criminal Court ‘C’ in Monrovia.
