Monrovia, Liberia
I have been made aware of a purported audio recording currently being circulated on social media and other platforms, in which it is falsely alleged that I engaged in a conversation aimed at influencing a judge of a Court with the involvement of the Vice President of the Republic.
Let me state this clearly, firmly, and without any reservation:
That recording is false, malicious, and a complete fabrication.
At no time have I ever engaged in any such conversation, nor have I sought, directly or indirectly, to influence any judicial officer. I categorically disassociate myself from the said recording and any suggestion contained therein.
This is not an isolated incident. It forms part of a broader and deliberate campaign by certain elements associated with the Liberia Football Association (LFA) to:
discredit ongoing judicial proceedings,
undermine the authority of the Court, and
damage candidacy in the ongoing LFA electoral process.
The timing of this fabricated recording, coming immediately after the lawful issuance of an injunction by the court, is not accidental. It is calculated. It is desperate. And it is dangerous.
Let me be equally clear on this point:
The independence of the judiciary is not negotiable.
Any attempt to blackmail, intimidate, or scandalize the Court through fabricated materials must be condemned in the strongest possible terms.
I have approached the courts in good faith, relying on the Constitution and the rule of law to resolve legitimate legal questions. I will not, and have never, sought to subvert that process.
I urge the public, stakeholders in football, and all well-meaning Liberians to:
disregard this malicious recording, and
allow the judicial process to proceed without interference.
I remain committed to a transparent, lawful, and credible football administration grounded in integrity and respect for the rule of law.
No amount of propaganda, fabrication, or intimidation will deter me from pursuing what is right.
Signed:
Cassell Anthony Kuoh Sr
