We wish him a speedy recovery; we await his arrival in Liberia to face prosecution. Really? What sense does this makes folks, instead of holding those responsible for the disappearance of the $ 5 million intended for combating this Ebola virus in Liberia, below is what your it will hold government is deciding to do... In the name of accountability. The Liberian authorities say they will prosecute the man diagnosed with Ebola in the US, accusing him of lying over his contact with an infected relative. When he left the country last month, Liberian national Thomas Eric Duncan filled in a questionnaire saying that none of his relatives were sick. But Liberias assistant health minister said he had taken a sick relative to a clinic in a wheelbarrow. Mr Duncan is in a serious condition in a Dallas hospital. His is the first case of Ebola to be diagnosed on US soil, where as many as 100 people are being checked for exposure to Ebola. More than 3,330 people have died in the Ebola outbreak in four West African countries. Speedy recovery The BBCs Jonathan Paye-Layleh in Liberias capital, Monrovia, says the prosecution announcement was made at the weekly Ebola update news conference, which is attended by numerous government officials and was dominated by the case of Mr Duncan. We wish him a speedy recovery; we await his arrival in Liberia to face prosecution, Binyah Kesselly, the chairman of the board of directors of the Liberia Airport Authority, said. Deputy Information Minister Isaac Jackson confirmed that Mr Duncan would be prosecuted as he lied under oath about his Ebola status. Before the briefing, Mr Kesselly told the BBC that Mr Duncan had answered no to all the questions on the Ebola form, which includes one about whether the traveller has any relatives sick with Ebola. Assistant Health Minister Tolbert Nyenswah explained at the briefing that he was investigating Mr Duncans movements before he left Liberia on 19 September. He said Mr Duncan works as a driver in Liberia for Save-Way Cargo, a subsidiary of the international courier service FedEx. m.bbc/news/world-africa-29467489
