Liberia: No Lawyer to Represent Isaac Jackson as Supreme Court Reschedules Argument on His Status at IMOAtty. The writ is challenging President George Weah’s decision to replace Mr. Jackson with Moses Owen Brown as Permanent Representative to the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Johnson told a FrontPageAfrica Judiciary reporter that his client was political and affront to the high court because lawyers don’t condone political statements. “The statement from Jackson is political in nature, therefore, I am going to relinquish representing Jackson at the Supreme Court because lawyers don’t condone political statements,” said Cllr Jackson. Daku Mulbah, at the time, counter-argued that the position of permanent representative which Jackson occupied does not require a Deputy Commissioner position that requires five years tenure.
