Honorable Supreme Court rules in the Bill of Information filed by Hon. HonCllr J Fonati Koffa..

The Supreme Court of Liberia has retrained its ruling into the saga at the Liberia National Legislature ( House of Representatives) stating that " The Supreme Court Opinion and Judgement of December 6, 2024, is that any sitting or action by the " Majority block" ( Respondents) to the exclusion of Speaker Koffa, the duly elected Presiding officer of the House of Representatives, while he is present and available to preside is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and without pale of the LAW" .
