He attended the April 23, (2020) ECOWAS Summit from his residence,” Kelgbeh said.In an earlier prepared statement issued on April 2 about the President’s health, Kelgbeh stated that President Weah is in good health. He described the reports about the President’s health as false and a blatantlie.

President Weah of Liberia consoles with Canadians over mass killing.
Meanwhile, there are reports that members of the National Security apparatus have begun investigating lab technicians at the National Public Health Institute or NPHIL over leaked lab results of officials.

There were reports that the Lab result of Foreign Minister Gbehzongar Findley, leaked even before the Law technicians could reach their offices 15 minutes after they left the minister’s home.

On the deployment of the AFL Soldiers at the President’s residence, Kelgbeh said they were deployed after the president declared the state of emergency and it had nothing to do with lack of confidence in the EPS personnel simply because a mad man attempted to enter the President’s compound when he was spotted at the rear security booth.
