The President Pro-Tempore of the Liberian Senate, Armah Z. Jallah, has said the Senate is “anxiously waiting” for the passage into law of the Deconcentration Platform Policy document following its launch in Gbarnga, Bong County on Wednesday.

Nimba County Legislative Caucus has nullified the voting rights of district commissioners at the upcoming County Council sitting and substituted them with “constituency delegates.”

Save the Children has turned over a newly- constructed six classroom public school to the government for the people of Jinniple-ta and its surroundings.

Human rights activist Samuel Kofi Woods has said Liberia needs “a nation-building army” as envisaged by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in 2006 during her regime’s first Armed Forces Day celebration.

He said the funding will complete the Tedee housing project, purchase uniforms and other apparels and accessories for the national army.
