The Executive Director of the Restoring Hope Foundation,
Maxson Kpakio, is calling on Liberians to avoid politicizing efforts aimed at
tackling the rise of fake medical practitioners across the country.
Kpakio’s remarks follow the recent exposure of Peter Matthew George, who,
according to investigative findings, operated under fraudulent medical
credentials.
The revelation came during a nationwide audit of medical
credentials conducted by the Liberia Medical and Dental Council (LMDC).
Speaking on the “Good Morning Cape” program, Kpakio expressed
concern over attempts to associate Vice President Jeremiah Koung with the
actions of George.
He described such allegations as unfounded, arguing that it is unfair to
hold the Vice President accountable or to place indirect blame on the LMDC for
lapses in oversight.
Kpakio further advocated for justice for the families of deceased
individuals, urging that they be compensated if investigations confirm that
George’s actions directly led to their deaths.
In a related matter, Kpakio backed the Liberia National Police’s call to
suspend all burial arrangements for Cletus Noah.
He underscored the need for the
Ministry of Justice to conduct an autopsy to determine the actual cause of
death, echoing serious concerns raised by Eugene Lenn Nagbe, Chief of Office
Staff for former President George Manneh Weah.
