Monrovia – The Concerned Community of BWI Alumni, the group that worked to ensure a corrective administrative measure at the institute, is commending President George Manneh Weah for exercising a sound leadership skill and using the law creating the institute to reinstate the Principal, Attorney Harris Fomba Tarnue.
The BWI alumni hail President Weah for not allowing the presidency to be misled by those who wanted the Principal out by all means for personal reasons.
The group says it is pleased that Mr. Tarnue has returned to restore order to an institution that was on the brink of collapse following his unlawful suspension.
Mr. Tarnue was in May unlawfully suspended by the minister of education and some members of the institute’s board, a task that under the law creating the school, should be performed by only the President of the Republic.
At the same time the group says its investigation has established that during the one-month period of the absence of the institute’s principal, a small group of students and about four recent graduates residing in the Kakata area, were recruited and incited to resist the return of Principal Tarnue.
The BWI alumni say they do not understand why individuals who have graduated from the school and now living on their own could join a small group of current students to stage a clearly meaningless protest.
The concerned alumni are, therefore, advising parents of students attending BWI to take the necessary measures to ensure that their children who are sent to learn for their future and help build Liberia are not used by individuals who are opposed to stability at the institute.
