9/16/2020 NATIONAL ELECTIONS COMMISSION V AMOS SIEH SIEBO-MOTION TO DISMISS-FINAL JUDGMENT – election. When you take away these values from an Election Management Body, the consequence will be chaos. Furthermore, Public Policy requires that in the administration of all laws, the public interest should be guided and protected. The Board of Commissioners agrees with the Nomination Committee and Counsels for Appellee that, to allow Appellant Amos S. Siebo to contest for District #1, Montserrado County Representative seat will undermine the core values of the Commission, namely: integrity, credibility, transparency and fairness. We further believe that to allow Mr. Siebo to contest will also expose the Commission to public ridicule and play into hands of the Commission’s detractors. We also construe Chapter 2 Section 9; Subsection (a) of the New Elections Law of 1986 which empowers the Commission to administer and enforce all laws relative to the conduct of elections throughout the Republic of Liberia to include the administration and enforcement of Article 79(c)(iii) of the Constitution, Section 4; Subsection 4(h) of the NEC’s Regulations and Guidelines Relating to Political Parties and Independent Candidates, as well as Section 2.9(a) of the New Elections Law of 1986 taking judicial notice of the Honorable Supreme Court’s definition of Public Policy in the case: Lib. Realty Management Corp. v Montgomery [1985] which states that Public Policy is defined as the principle of law which declares that no person can lawfully do that which had the tendency to be injurious to the public or against the public good, and which may be designated as the policy of the law or policy in relation to the administration of the law. Because the facts in this case are similar to those in a scenario which occurred in 2005, we hereby take quasi-judicial notice of Historical Facts (For Reliance, see Chapter 25, Section 2; page 196 of the Civil Procedure Law). During the conduct of the 2005 General Elections, a scenario took place in Gbarpolu County wherein one of the aspirants connived with a poll worker and they fraudulently increased the valid votes cast in favor of the said aspirant which made it to appear like the unscrupulous aspirant obtained the highest number of valid votes cast in the Senatorial race. However, the fraud was brought to the attention of the Commission.
