Liberia’s Ambassador to the United States has been recalled.

The executive mansion says President Sirleaf recalled Ambassador Nathaniel Barnes for consultation and possible reassignment.

It is not yet clear whether Mr. Barnes who contested the 2005 elections on the ticket of the Liberia Destiny Party was involved in any malpractice.

Meanwhile, the President has granted executive pardon to four elderly inmates detained at the National Palace of Corrections in Grand Gedeh County.

The four including Esther Garduah, Julia Quiah, Amos Grear and Esther Gaye were tried and convicted of kidnapping in 2007.

The Executive Mansion says the decision is a result of pleas from citizens of Grand Gedeh during a visit by the President.
