The House of Representatives- HOR, has cited the Minister of Justice and the Inspector General of the Liberian National Police to appear before full plenary on Tuesday, November 11, 2025. 

The decision follows a communication from Representative Gizzie Kรถllince, raising urgent concerns over two separate incidents involving minors in Lofa County.

Representative Kollince referenced the tragic death of Little Yarkpawolo Moisemah, who was reportedly killed while in police custody in Voinjama City, and the mysterious disappearance of Little Fesseh Aggrey in Konia Town.

The communication called for immediate clarity and accountability from the relevant authorities.

He said the instrument seeks to ensure transparency and justice in both cases, and to restore public confidence in the nationโ€™s law enforcement institutions. 

In addition to the Justice Minister and Police IG, the House has mandated the appearance of the Voinjama Depot Commander and the officer allegedly linked to the death of Little Yarkpawolo.

The House emphasized that these matters are of national concern and require urgent attention to uphold the rule of law and protect the rights of all citizens, especially children. 

The invited officials are expected to provide detailed reports and respond to inquiries from lawmakers during the scheduled plenary session.

Meanwhile, the Plenary of the House of Representatives has invited the Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Hon. Gbeme Horace-Kollie, and the Director General of the Civil Service Agency (CSA), Hon. Josiah Joekai, to appear before full plenary next Thursday to explain why Gender Coordinators across the country have not yet been placed on the governmentโ€™s payroll.

Plenaryโ€™s decision follows a communication submitted by Lofa County Electoral District #4 Representative, Hon. Gizzie Kollince, seeking clarity on the prolonged delay in regularizing the employment status of Gender Coordinators who continue to serve in various counties without compensation.

According to Hon. Kollince, the affected coordinators play a crucial role in advancing governmentโ€™s gender and child protection policies at the local level, and the failure to place them on payroll undermines the effectiveness of the Ministryโ€™s programs nationwide.

The appearance of both officials is intended to provide the Legislature with a clear understanding of the administrative and financial constraints surrounding the issue and to ensure timely redress.
