Former Assistant Postal Affairs Minister Terry S. Genesis has been cleared of the corruption charges against him.
Mr. Genesis was indicted early 2009 by the government of Liberia for allegedly conniving with three of the ministry's employees which the state says entered into a secret arrangement with businesses and individuals to supply them with electric power from the ministry's 145KVA generator.
Judge Karboi Nuta of criminal court “C”, in his ruling on Thursday February 4, 2010, said the evidence adduced by the state was not sufficient to convict the Mr. Genesis. He furthered dismissed the art of conspiracy by the defendants as claimed by the state.
Judge Nuta who cited the three elements of conspiracy clarified that with all of the documentary evidence adduced in court by the state, there appear no convincing element to show that the allege actors ever met jointly or separately as parties to agree to commit the act of theft of property and frud as claimed by the government of Liberia.
“Therefore it is the ruling of this court that predicated on 37LLR at page 695 SY1.3 and 37LLR at page 761 SY1.1, 39LLR at page 870 SY1.5 and 6 found at page 50 and criminal procedure law revised 2.2 SY1.1 that the testimonies, documentary evidence and the facts and circumstances surrounding this case as produced here in this courts are not sufficient to warrant conviction of the defendant for or as charge and as such defendant is herein acquittal of all charges and all charges against him is dismissed. And it is hereby so ordered.” Judge Karboi Nuta ruled.
Mr. Genesis was then seeing in a mood of joy and excitement soon after the ruling was made.
He noted that from the onset of the case he knew that he would be vindicated because according to him, his indictment was base on lies and speculations.
