The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Cllr. J. Fonati Koffa has announced that the motion for the draft recast budget scrutiny has been put on hold. This decision will remain in effect until the Special Investigative Committee, led by Representative Robert Wongbe, submits its report.
In his address, Thursday, 29 August, during the first day of the extraordinary session, Speaker Koffa emphasized that this measure is in line with the House’s commitment to promoting transparency and accountability within Liberia’s governance system.
The Speaker assured the public that the House remains dedicated to being open and accountable to the people of Liberia.
โThe scrutiny of the budget is a crucial process, and it is our responsibility to ensure that it is conducted with the utmost integrity and transparency. We will not proceed with any budget scrutiny until the Wongbeโs Special Investigative Committee completes its investigation and delivers its findings,โ stated Speaker Koffa.
The extraordinary session, which commenced on Thursday, August 29, 2024, will continue until September 19, 2024.
Meanwhile House Speaker Cllr. J. Fonati Koffa has commended his colleagues for their commitment to return to work under challenging conditions, including working without pay, to serve the interests of the Republic of Liberia.
