Dear
Sir:
Please
be duly informed we’ve been retained by a group of women and few men whose
homes were demolished by the Local government of Maryland County in 2006 during
a failed expansion of The Alexander Tubman Aero Port in Harper. Damages accrued
in the amount of Sixty-Six (US$66,000.00) thousand United States dollars.
Our
clients informed us that this sad situation occurred during the administration
of Hon. Sie-Teba Neufville as superintendent of Maryland. We are told that the
Administration demolished their homes under the guise of expanding The
Alexander Tubman Aero Port. Our clients maintain this unjust action by the
Government is responsible for years of economic hardship, inhumane treatment,
stress and abuse of their families.
As
social justice advocates, our job is to seek justice for all. But in the event
one causes willful harm to a people and that person or institution fails to
cooperate in finding an amicable solution, peaceful and nonviolent protest
demonstration is the last resort!
Several
months ago, we submitted this complaint to Hon. Nazarene Brewer Tubman, current
superintendent of Maryland, for her action. Previous to that, Hon. J. Gble-Bo
Brown received the complaint in 2010. But up to the minute we opine, not much
has been heard and/or done on record.
This
matter could be a human rights abuse case.
Our
clients informed us that they are weary and impatient with the Government’s neglect
and slow pace in allowing them to have their rightful dues.
Our
clients claim they are deeply troubled by the insensitivity being demonstrated
by the Government. Therefore, it is our sole intend to lay this case before
H.E. Madam Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of the Republic of Liberia if needs
be for her attention.
Prior
to taking this to President Sirleaf, we herein request a conference with you in
few days to find an amicable solution before the matter gets to crisis
proportion.
In
view of the foregoing, we will remain engaged with your office for the purpose
of seeing that appropriate action is taken in this matter in a timely fashion.
We
look forward to hearing from you very soon as time is not on our side. I am,
Very
truly yours,
Thomas
G. Bedell
