Monrovia, Liberia – Former Executive Director of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and ex-Minister of Commerce, Professor Wilson K. Tarpeh, has sparked public curiosity with a cryptic social media post hinting at betrayal within close circles.
In a statement posted Thursday, Prof. Tarpeh wrote: “It is only a snake closest to you that bites you. The betrayer is always someone in your circle. Be careful who you trust.”
The brief but loaded remark has drawn widespread speculation about who or what the former EPA boss was referring to. While Prof. Tarpeh offered no names or context, the message has stirred debate among political observers and the public, many of whom are questioning whether his comments point to recent political developments or to personal experiences.
Prof. Tarpeh, a veteran public servant, previously served as Minister of Commerce before being appointed by former President George Weah to head the EPA. During his tenure in government, he often faced public scrutiny over policy decisions and government programs.
As of press time, Prof. Tarpeh has not issued further clarification on the meaning of his post. However, his words have triggered conversations online, with supporters and critics alike weighing in on the potential targets of his warning.
The development adds another layer to ongoing discussions about loyalty and mistrust in Liberia’s political and social space, particularly among former government officials.
