The House of Representatives has invited the Executive Director of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Minister of Finance & Development Planning to appear on Thursday to provide a status update on the Coastal Defense Project. Plenary’s decision Thursday, 27 February was triggered by a communication from Montserrado County Electoral District 7 Representative Emmanuel Dahn, who highlighted concerns regarding the stalled project. In 2021, a $25.6 million project was launched to provide relief to Liberia’s sinking coastal communities. Funding for the project came from a tripartite arrangement including the following: The Green Climate Fund donated $17.2 million. The United Nations Development Fund contributed $1.6 million. The Government of Liberia committed $6.8 million. Despite these substantial contributions, the project has remained virtually dormant over the past five years. A coastal defense structure, intended to mitigate the impact of rising sea levels, has yet to be constructed. Representative Dahn urged plenary to summon the Executive Director of the Environmental Protection Agency, Hon. Emmanuel Urey Yarkpawolo, and the Minister of Finance & Development Planning, Hon. Augustine K. Ngafuan, to provide a comprehensive update on the status and implementation of the Coastal Defense Project. The House of Representatives remains committed to ensuring transparency and accountability in government projects that impact the livelihood of Liberians. Further updates will be provided following the scheduled hearing.
