According to a three paragraph communication sent to Acting National Security Minister Anthony Kromah by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, a copy of which is in the possession of this media, President Sirleaf attributed her decision to a communication received from the Liberian Senate over the denial of Mr. Kromah.
Mr. Anthony Kromah was denied confirmation by the Liberian Senate on grounds that he (Kromah) presented improper and questionable academic credential to the Liberian Senate. According to information gathered from the Liberian Senate, Mr. Kromah presented a photocopy of his diploma indicating Masters Degree earned in Criminal Justice and Counseling at one of the higher learning institutions in the United States of America.
After thorough investigation and search by the Liberian Senate, it was discovered that Mr. Kromah documents were fake and contravenes the actuality in his attached documents.
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf however thanked the discharged Acting Minister for his service to the State during his stay at the Ministry of National Security. She therefore wishes Mr. Kromah well in his endeavor. The Deputy Minister for Administration at the Ministry of National Security Peter Zayzay has been instructed to steer the affairs of the Ministry pending the appointment of a new but qualified Minister.
Mr. Anthony Kromah confirmation denial came in a wake of misunderstanding between employees of the National Security Ministry and Mr. Kromah over what was discovered as his boastfulness in administering activities at the Ministry.
