House Cites Justice Ministry, Others

By Fiona Benson Kollie

The House of Representatives has cited authorities of the Ministry of Justice, Liberia National Police, Grand Gedeh County Attorney, and County Police Commander.

Those invited are to appear before the August Body on Tuesday, November 17, to provide updates on ‘missing citizens’ in Grand Gedeh County.

The decision follows a communication River Gee County District #2 Representative, Isaac B. Choloplay Wuo, submitted.

The report raised concerns about the security situation in the neighboring county.

Rep. Wuo in a communication to plenary recently requested Plenary intervention into the reported disappearance of two Grebo citizens in May.

He also raised concerns about the death of Grebo elder, Sam Geekor, whose body was reportedly discovered on October 23, which led to subsequent demonstrations in Zwedru.

The communication called on relevant authorities to provide updates on investigations into the reported disappearances, and the death of Sam Geekor.

It further requested details of security measures to protect lives, and property, address community grievances, and prevent further violence.

Wuo warned that failure to address the concerns could deepen mistrust, heighten tensions, and threaten peaceful coexistence among communities.

He clarified that the request was not intended to prejudge ongoing investigations, or assign blame without credible evidence.

The House’s action is to obtain official updates on the ‘missing citizens,’ the investigations, and measures being taken to maintain peace, and security in the county.
