The Management of the News Newspaper wishes to apologize to His Honor, Judge Joe Barkon of the Second Judicial Circuit Court in Buchanan, Grand Bassa County for misquoting him (Judge Barkon) at ceremony marking the Opening of the August Term of Court.
In our Wednesday’s publication, this paper reported a story under the caption: “Judge Questions Supreme Court In Disbursement of US$4M.”
According to the story, our Judicial Correspondent misquoted Judge Barkon by saying, “Judge Barkon alleged that during the just ended October 2023 general elections, US$4 million was given to the Judiciary for election special operations but said money only remains at the level of the Supreme Court and no Circuit or Magisterial Courts received a cent out of said amount.”
We regret the misinformation provided by our reporter and any inconvenience the publication may have caused him.
