B**g District Six Rep Hon. Moimah B. Mensah Writes!

Setting the Record Straight!

Speculation steams unnecessary rumors and confusion. I am committed to transparency and truth.

At present, I am in The Gambia 🇬🇲 attending an official ECOWAS event. Upon conclusion, I will proceed to Cape Verde 🇨🇻 to participate in the Annual Meeting of the WAHO Financial Support Steering Committees of ECOWAS Member States.

I hold the Honorable Supreme Court of the Republic of Liberia in the highest esteem and will fully abide by its decisions. However, I must also make it clear: I am duty-bound to sign in favor of the removal of the Court-recognized Speaker, Hon. Jonathan Koffa, should he fail to produce a quorum; since it’s clear, that he has loss the moral authority over majority members of the house for what so ever reasons.

For too long, the first branch of government and our decentralized representation have been seen as unserious and as mere troublemakers. I am committed to changing this narrative.

As the Rule of Law writes proposal for the conclusion of the impasse, and as the “Majority Block” seeks court redress, I must clarify and make my position known:

No individual, no institution, and no government is above the will and interests of the people and if you ask me what the interest of the people is, my answer would be: It’s a well functioning, transparent and Law-abiding Legislature

It is time to restore the honor, dignity, and seriousness of the Legislature. I encourage all legislative colleagues, that together let’s reclaim the respect we deserve as true representatives of the people!

Gbarnga Central Prison Superintendent Raises Urgent Concerns of Overcrowding at the facility

By Our Staff Writer

With a maximum capacity of 130 prisoners, the current population stands at over 317 thereby jeopardizing the safety and well-being of both inmates and correctional officers assigned at the Gbarnga Central Prison in B**g County.

Madam Gbolomen K. Siakor, Superintendent of the Gbarnga Central Prison attributed the overcrowding to the backlog of cases and the alleged abandonment of legal proceedings by complainants.

She then called for the immediate intervention of the Ministry of Justice to expedite the trial process for pre-trial detainees to reduce congestion and restore order to the prison environment.

According to her, the Gbarnga Central Prison has exceeded its normal capacity.

“We have 317 inmates in here; out of this number, we have 17 females. The normal capacity of this facility is 130. We want to appeal to our partners for assistance,” she added.

The Gbarnga central prison Superintendent described the over-crowdedness of the prison as a serious challenge to its smooth operations.

Madam Siakor noted that the entity, over the years, had strived to ensure that the rights of prisoners, including pre-trial detainees, are observed, it had been hindered by factors such as overcrowding, logistical constraints as well as the slow pace of investigation and prosecution, leading to prolonged stay in pre-trial detention.

She, at the same time, named the lack of electricity, medication for inmates, beds, among others, at the facility.

Madam Siakor made the statement in a joint interview with journalists on February 20, 2025 in Gbarnga, B**g County, during the tour of the facility by UNDP' Resident Representative to Liberia, adding "we are calling on the UNDP for support to address these challenges."

For his part, UNDP's Resident Representative, Aliou Mamadou Dia, pledged to deepen collaboration and explore new avenues of partnership, stressing the need for innovative solutions and cohesive efforts to advance Liberia’s development aspirations.

He reiterated UNDP’s continued commitment to supporting Liberia’s strategic objectives and overcoming development challenges.

“UNDP remains committed to partnering with Liberia to drive progress toward development. Together, we can achieve transformative change and empower communities for a brighter future,” Mr. Dia stated.

He reaffirmed the longstanding partnership between the Government of Liberia and the UNDP in advancing sustainable development and addressing critical socio-economic challenges.

Mr. Dia further commended the Government of Liberia for its ongoing efforts to promote inclusive growth, good governance, and resilience in its ARRESTAgenda for Inclusive Development.

The UNDP's Resident Representative for Liberia highlighted youth and women's empowerment as he toured UNDP’s completed and ongoing projects in Lofa, Nimba, and B**g Counties.

He said over the years UNDP has supported lots of initiatives as a means of buttressing the efforts of the Liberian Government in the areas of governance, rule of law, access to justice, agriculture, etc.
