Monrovia Liberia – President George M. Weah has expressed deep sadness about the news of the death of Sinoe County Representative Jay Nagbe Sloh who passed on Tuesday night at the JFK Medical Center following a brief illness.

President Weah described late Representative Sloh as an astute statesman and proponent of media freedom – a vision also shared by the Liberian Leader.

The Executive Mansion statement says Representative Nagbe’s passing has left a great void in not just the Legislature, but the body politics of the country.

The President has meanwhile expressed his profound sympathies to the bereaved family, the Legislature and the people of Sinoe County, for the passing of the outspoken lawmaker.

Representative Sloh, who was elected during the 2017 general and presidential election, has been a longtime journalist who previously served as the Director-General of the Liberian News Agency.
