According to the Liberia News Agency (LINA), Barchue said Plenary reached the decision to set up the team because the National Ebola Task Force is not making significant progress in the fight against the disease.

He indicated that the position of the Legislature will be taken to the Task Force with the view of working together to combat the virus.
