PAL Hails Supreme Court’s Decision -For House’s Parties To Return to Status Quo

The Publishers Association of Liberia has hailed the Supreme Court of Liberia decision, calling  for  the return to status quo ante  in the  matter involving members of the House of Representatives (Majority and Minority blocs). PAL said it is concerned about  the   unfolding events at the National Legislature, the first branch of Government, exhibiting a prolonged  standoff between the majority and minority blocs; a crisis which has affected  legislative  functions and the governance of the state. The Supreme Court is the final arbiter of justice in the land; as such, PAL has called on all parties to respect the decision of the Supreme Court and the rule of law. PAL, at the same time, has called on its members and all media institutions to avoid inflaming the already fragile situation, as doing so has the propensity to undermine the security of the state and   the country’s fragile democracy.
