House Speaker, Richard Nagbe Koon, has called on his colleagues (lawmakers) to safeguard the dignity, and credibility of the House of Representatives.
He made the remarks at the official opening of the third session the 55th Legislature on Tuesday, October 13, where he pointed to the vital need for institutional protection, and internal legislative unity.
Koon also urged members of that august body to resolve administrative disagreements through established internal mechanisms, rather than expose internal conflicts to the public.
He said, public disputes severely undermine public trust in the collective integrity within the premier lawmaking body.
He commended representatives for demonstrating commendable political maturity by securing a crucial working quorum for ongoing legislative business on Tuesday.
Koon meanwhile, instructed leadership that all returning (reformists) lawmakers should submit formal constituency reports as to document local achievements, and maintain transparent and public accountability.
He confirmed that key chamber rehabilitation projects, including offices have progressed alongside restoration plans for the fire-damaged William Richard Tolbert joint Chamber.
