Liberia Integrity Network has come in defence of newly appointed National Port Authority Deputy Managing Director for Operations Sam Doe.
The conglomeration of over 15 civil society organizations in the country dismissed the allegations that Mr. Doe is a fugitive from the United States of America due to fraudulent acts.
It is being reported that Mr. Doe who was recently appointed by President George Weah fled the US on allegation that he was involved in fraud and dealing in drugs.

The group said its investigation has established that Mr. Doe who is a 2013 graduate of the United Methodist University (UMU), and a third-semester student of the Ibrahim Banbagida School of International Relations of the University of Liberia, has a clear record of being a law-abiding citizen with no traces of criminal entanglements in his fifty years of existence as a statesman.
According to the Liberia Integrity Network, the new NPA Managing Director for Operations is a public servant who has served the Liberian people for over twelve years in various capacities at different governmental institutions.
The group said Mr. Doe worked with the National Security Agency (NSA) as Coordinator for nine years and later served as Principal Director for Land & Rail at the Ministry of Transport for four years respectively.
Mr. Doe, according to the civil society network, also served as Director for Public Safety for four months at the Ministry of Justice before moving to the National Port Authority where he served as Acting NPA Deputy Managing Director for Operations for at least one year.
The Liberia Integrity Network also described Mr. Doe as family-man who has three wonderful boys’ children, with tons of family members to care for.
The civil society conglomerate organization further that the newly NPA executive is a business oriented personality who owns and operate the Spike Security Service that has in its employed at least 150 Liberians, comprising of men and women.
The group added that the security firm has operated for five years in Monrovia and parts adjacent.
Meanwhile, the Liberia Integrity Network has thanked President Weah for appointing Mr. Doe as NPA Deputy Managing Director for Operations, noting that, he comes with worth of experience to the job.
The organization has however called on those who are using the media to spread lies about the character of the NPA Deputy Managing Director for Operations to stop, stressing that, their effort to bring him down will not work.
