In an interview with the Liberia News Agency Tuesday, the River Gee County Representative made no specific reference to a local radio which is being used by politicians to insult others.
According to Chea, such stations do not give the persons attacked the opportunity to air their side of the story.
He expressed fear that such practice, if not stopped, will create confusion among citizens.
