Kabbah dismisses policy adviser

    ABIDJAN

    President Kabbah has sacked Peter Tucker as chairman of the National Policy Advisory Council "because of the contrary opinion he has taken on the Togo peace accord", Reuters quoted Information Minister Julius Spencer as saying on Tuesday.

    Tucker wrote to parliamentarians asking them to reject ministerial RUF nominees when their names were presented for ratification, Reuters said.

    Presidential spokesman Septimus Kaikai told IRIN that Tucker was dismissed a week ago. Kaikai added he did not know the reason for the measure and was unaware of any other disagreements between Kabbah and Tucker.
