Justice in Chamber Yussif D. Kaba has declined to issue a writ of prohibition prayed for by the management of Gracious Ride after their vehicles had been impounded by the Asset Recovery Team.
Associates Kaba, initially issued a five-day ultimatum on the management of Gracious Ride to bring their title documents of their vehicles in question. On April 8, 2024, the justice in the chamber said considering the attached communication from the respondent he cannot grant the petition for a writ of prohibition.
He however, reserves all right to the (Respondent )Asset Recovery team to proceed in keeping with the law. The petitioner in their amended petition said, that the vehicles were acquired through its parent company the Anita Group of Companies executed through a loan agreement with GBK Motors.
On Friday the management of Gracious amended their petition before the justice in the chamber on the ground that the first petition file lacks every legal substance.
According to the petitioners on March 5, 2024, President Joseph N. Boakai issued Executive Order No.126 wherein he established the office of Assets Recovery, and then proceeded further to unconstitutionally nullify, over-rule, and set -aside several Legislative statutes to include but not limited to Liberia Anti Money Laundering and countering creating the Ministry of Justice: and the LACC of 2022.
