Monrovia — The Solidarity and Trust for a New Day (STAND), a grassroots civil society organization committed to advancing democracy, good governance, and accountability, has said the devastating fire that ravaged the Capitol Building Wednesday morning demands an immediate and thorough investigation to determine its cause, assess the full extent of the damage, and hold those responsible accountable, should it be found deliberate.

This tragedy, STAND added, must not remain unresolved, adding that swift action is essential to uphold public trust.
“Therefore, we urge authorities, with the full backing of the U.S. government and development partners, to act swiftly,” STAND said in a release Wednesday.
“The destruction of taxpayer-funded property must not be left in the shadows of uncertainty. Whether deliberate or spontaneous, violence is never an acceptable option”!
STAND has called for the matter to be treated with the utmost urgency and as a national emergency!
