In a dramatic turn of events, the leadership of the House of Representatives, led by Speaker Koffa’s bloc, has reportedly suspended Deputy Chief Clerk Cummick Chea. The decision comes amid allegations that Chea failed to submit the Draft National Budget to the legal Speaker’s office after receiving it.
According to reports, this action has prompted the Koffa-led bloc to notify the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning (MFDP) about the situation. They have demanded that the Ministry bypass the Deputy Clerk and directly submit the Draft National Budget to the office of the legal Speaker moving forward.
This development highlights the ongoing power struggles within the House, a tension that has captured national attention. With the National Budget being a critical document for Liberia’s development and governance, such delays and controversies could have far-reaching implications for the country.
As the dust settles on this latest twist, the question on everyone’s mind is: how will this leadership wrangling affect the passage of the National Budget? Moreover, how will the Ministry of Finance respond to this directive amidst these conflicting loyalties?
Stay tuned as this story develops further.
