The head of the Health Workers Union Bong County Chapter, Martha Morris, has accused Dr. Wilhelmina Jallah, the Minister of Health, of exerting influence over health workers to vote for President George Weah in the upcoming runoff election on November 14th. She alleges that banners with Minister Jallah’s pictures printed on them have been displayed, leading health workers to feel pressured to support Weah. She also claims that health workers have been marginalized and underpaid under the current administration compared to the previous administration led by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. Minister Jallah denies the accusations and asserts that her campaign activities are separate from her role as Minister of Health. Morris’ concerns regarding the potential influence exerted on health workers in their voting decisions highlight yet another dimension of potential campaign finance violations.
