LIBERIA'S SENATE APPROVES OIL BLOCK DEALS

Monrovia –Dec.18, 2025: The Liberian Senate has passed eight offshore oil block agreements involving TotalEnergies and Oranto Petroleum, concurring with the House of Representatives after weeks of scrutiny and consultations.

The agreements were approved with narrow margins: TotalEnergies received 21 votes, while Oranto Petroleum garnered 20 votes, highlighting sharp divisions within the chamber.

The vote followed high-level consultations involving Vice President Jeremiah Koung, Senator Albert Chie, and Senate Pro Tempore Nyonblee Karnga Lawrence, after which senators agreed to register their positions strictly through their votes.

Senators who voted in favor of both deals include Edwin Snowe, Darius Dillon, Emmanuel Zoe Pennue, and Botoe Kanneh Bartekwa, among others. Nathaniel McGill and Amara Konneh supported TotalEnergies but opposed Oranto Petroleum.

Those who voted against the oil block deals include Glebo Brown (Maryland County), Gbehzohngar Findley (Grand Bassa County), Wellington Geevon Smith (River Cess County), and Bill Twehway (River Cess County).

The passage followed an agreement to forgo debate, a position advanced by Senator Albert Chie citing time constraints, sparking concerns about the scrutiny of the agreements' economic and environmental implications.

LNP Condemns Protest Violence, Names Three Persons of Interest for questioning

The Liberia National Police (LNP) acknowledges the constitutional right of all citizens to peaceful assembly and expression and reiterates its commitment to facilitating lawful protests in a manner that protects public safety and democratic freedoms.

Meanwhile, making the announcement at the Ministry of Information Regular Press briefing on Thursday in Monrovia, Government Spokeman Jerolimek Matthew Piah noted that the LNP strongly condemns the acts of violence that occurred during yesterday's protest, which undermined public order, endangered lives and properties, and diverted the protest from its lawful and peaceful purpose. Violence, intimidation, and destruction of properties are inconsistent with democratic engagement and will not be tolerated.

As part of a professional, evidence-based, and impartial investigation, the Liberia National Police has identified Mr. Mulbah Morlu, Mr. Alvin Wesseh and Archie Pompom as persons of interest in relation to the violent incidents.

The LNP however, respectfully requests that these individuals report to the Central Police Headquarters in Monrovia to assist with the ongoing investigation.

Noting that failure to comply with this lawful request will compel the Liberia National Police to exercise its statutory authority to effect arrest, consistent with due process and the laws of the Republic of Liberia.

PRESS STATEMENT
From the chairman, Margibi Sports Association (MSA) Mr. Tonny Walker.

December 15, 2025

The attention of the Margibi Sports Association (MSA) has been drawn to a series of Facebook post by individuals identified as Prophet Key and few others angry and self interest Margibian alleging that the Margibi County superintendent purchased an old bus for the county and for the MSA.

The Margibi Sports Association finds it necessary to categorically clarify and correct these misleading.

Firstly, the Margibi County superintendent did not purchase any bus for the MSA, at on point was the superintendent involved in the procurement of a bus on behalf of our institution.

Secondly, the MSA through it duly constituted leadership, purchased a 32- seater bus using portion of the said USD 55,000 that was officially allocated by the Margibi County Council. The bus was imported from South Korea through a recognized businessman, following consultations and approvals by both the steering committee and the MSA Executive committee.

The procurement process was transparent and collectively handled by the relevant MSA bodies, in keeping with accountability and institutional integrity.

The MSA as an institution saw it necessary after observing so many transportational issues our county teams normally face with, most especially doing our nation most watched and participatory festival (county meet). The bus was bought, clean, spray and branded for the total sum of USD 21,500.00 out of the said USD 55,000.00 allocated by the Margibi County Council and not USD 39,000.00 as claim by many Facebook post.

Since 1985, the establishment of Margibi County and later the introduction of the national county meet as well as Margibi County participation into the tournament (county meet), this is the first for Margibi County teams to own her own bus which we MSA saw as a boast and promotion not to only the institution MSA but also to the entire county as large.

The MSA strongly discourages the spread of false and unverified information that has the potential to mislead the public and undermine the reputation of individuals and institutions. We encourage anyone seeking clarity to engage the MSA through the proper channels rather than resorting to misinformation on the social media.

This statement is issued to set the record straight and to reaffirm the MSA commitment to transparency, responsibility, and truth.

Signed: Mr. Tonny Walker
Chairman, Margibi Sports Association (MSA).
