October 25, 2026
Monrovia : The Office of Former Vice President Chief Dr. Jewel Howard-Taylor has expresses deep concern over the systematic removal of official posts, records, and media documenting her tenure from the official Facebook page of the Office of the Vice President.
According to the Former Vice President Office, the primary purpose behind creating and maintaining the digital platform during Chief Dr. Jewel Howard-Taylor’s leadership was to digitally preserve Liberia’s institutional memory, ensure transparency, and keep the public informed of state affairs.
The former VP’s office noted that a change in leadership should never result in the erasure of a predecessor’s public record.
The former VP’s office emphasized that Public institutions and the public archives generated belong to the people of Liberia and not to individuals who temporarily occupy public office.
“The official records documenting diplomatic engagements, international conferences, policy initiatives, and national service carried out by former Vice President Howard-Taylor constitute a vital chapter of our country’s collective history and deserve to be preserved” the statement added.
The statement noted that the alarming action raises fundamental questions about transparency and accountability within public office:
“Who authorized the removal of these official records? What was the rationale behind deleting public institutional history?these are legitimate questions that warrant clear, responsible, and transparent answers”.
The former Vice President’s office said while political disagreement is a natural part of a vibrant democracy, political differences must never serve as justification for erasing history.”Today, it is the official reco
rd of Former Vice President Chief Dr. JewelHoward-Taylor; tomorrow, it could be the records of another public servant”.
The Office of the Former Vice President, Chief Dr. Jewel Howard-Taylor added that Liberia must foster a culture of institutional continuity, one where successive administrations respect and protect the contributions of their predecessors, regardless of political affiliation.
The statement says History belongs to the Liberian nation, not to any single administration or political entity.
The office called on the relevant authorities to restore these records if hidden from public view, as allowed by Facebook), “respect Liberia’s history, and protect the truth for future generations”.
