The Liberia National Bar Association (LNBA) has reopened its Legal Aid Clinic in Montserrado County as part of efforts to ensure speedy dispensation of justice in the county. The Legal Clinic is an establishment of the LNBA aimed at providing free legal services for party litigants who cannot afford legal fees. The project was temporary suspension after its major donor, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Legal Professional Development and Anti-Corruption Program in Liberia (LPACE) ended its operation in the country. But, making the disclosure on yesterday, LNBA’S President Sylvester D. Rennie said the funding to reopen the clinic was as a result of intense discussion with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). “After considering our plan, the UNDP released to us over US$121,000 for the opening of only the clinic in Montserrado County “Rennie said during the training of lawyers and case workers that are going to work with the clinic. According to him, the funds is only for a year period. “Within one year we are going to release at least 200 pretrial detainees,” Rennie disclosed. The Legal Aid Clinic is being implemented by the LNBA in partnership with UNDP project, aimed at providing pro-bono legal services to those who cannot afford it. “If we are successful with Montserrado County project, we will be able to extend the project to other counties where we have the clinics,” Rennie added. In his interjection, the LNBA Secretary General, Cllr. Bornor M. Varmah, cautioned his colleagues of accountability to the project. “UNDP is much concern about accountability and we are to ensure that their money is used for the project. After that we can ask for extension to other counties,” Cllr. Varmah stressed accountability for the project.
