Liberia: President Sirleaf constitutes Zoning Council, appoints Elijah B. Karnley as Zoning Officer
Jan 5, 2010
by Michael Kpayili / Staff Writer

Elijah B. Karnley
Liberia’s president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has constituted the most talk about ‘Zoning Council’ with the Ministry of Public Works Chairing the Council.

Other members of the Zoning council are: the Ministry of Lands, Mines and energy; the Ministry of Internal Affairs; the Environmental Protection Agency; the Liberia Chamber of Architects; and a representative of the Civil Society of Liberia.

The constitution of the Zoning Council by the President is in keeping with the Zoning Act of 1958, which is currently under revision.

Meanwhile, the President has appointed Elijah B. Karnley as National Zoning Officer in Liberia. Mr. Karnley appointment takes immediate effect.

The absence of Zoning Council to regulate the Zoning laws of Liberia has sparked serious confusion between land owners and those in the habit of building on the alleyway without observing encroachment on others rights.

Of late, the Ministry of Public works has engaged in the process of demolishing structures in violation of the zoning laws of Liberia. With the constitution of the zoning council, it is certain that the law of Liberia regarding zoning regulations will be instituted to the fullest.
