Liberia-The Publishers Association of Liberia ha agreed with the Supreme Court of Liberia in calling for the return to status quo ante in the matter involving members of the House of Representatives (Majority and Minority blocs).
PAL in a statement expressed concern about the unfolding events at the National Legislature which is the first branch of Government, the prolong standoff between the majority and minority bloc; a crisis which has affected legislative functions and the governance of the state.
PAL noted that the supreme Court is the final arbiter of justice in the land and at such, called on all parties to respect the decision of the Supreme Court and the rule of law.
PAL at the same time, called on its members and all media institutions to avoid inflaming the already fragile situation, as doing so has the propensity to undermine the security of the state and the country’s fragile democracy.
