Liberia: Senate sends out warning over the passage of threshold bill
Nov 4, 2009
by Michael Kpayili / Staff Writer
The President Pro-tempore of the Liberian Senate has sent out clear warning to the public that there is no amount of pressure or outside forces that will coerce the Senate to pass the threshold bill.
Grand Kru County Senator Cletus Wotorson said it is misleading and dangerous to spread information which according to him contravenes the true nature that without the passage of the threshold bill, the holding of election is impossible. He said the Senate is currently reviewing the bill for possible consideration but warned outside forces to stop making the Senate appears as spectators to their own responsibilities.
He advised Liberians to share ideas and thoughts with their various Lawmakers in helping to speed out sticking points in the passage of the bill.
The National Elections Commission has signal further risk in the holding of elections in 2011 without the passage of the population threshold bill. Other foreign missions in Liberia including the United States Embassy have been engaged with the National Legislature regarding the conduct of free and fair election come 2011.
The constitution of Liberia also requires the demarcation of constituency after the conduct of census before the holding of National election in Liberia.
Decisions surrounding the passage of the threshold bill are mixed among Lawmakers with significant percentage of them opposing the threshold at above 40,000 while others accept the passage of the bill but with condition.
