The Plenary of the Liberia Senate votes to summon three CSOs to appear before it this week over ‘disrespectful’ and ‘inciting’ statement
The Plenary of the Liberia Senate has voted to summon three CSOs to appear before it this week for making statements the senate describes as ‘disrespectful’ and ‘inciting’ against it.

The three organisations - Liberia Democracy Watch, Center for Democratic Empowerment and the Institute for Democracy and Development, were complained to the Senate by one of its member for making alleged derogatory remarks against the August body for the passage of a recent joint resolution instead of the threshold bill.

They are accused of pouring insults on the Legislature, by describing it its leadership as being ‘mentally impoverished’.
