Monrovia - Representative Byron Browne (Liberty Party-District-4 Grand Bassa County) has clarified that vehicles of lawmakers are not government owned but rather personal vehicles. “Vehicles of the legislators are not government properties, proprieties of government are vehicles marked by the General Services Agency (GSA), the only property of government are the license plates,” said Rep. Browne. The outgoing Grand Bassa County lawmaker’s response to an FPA inquiry comes ahead of the transition of government. Over 47 newly elected representatives are expected to join 26 incumbent lawmakers in the 73-seat chamber on January 15, 2018. As it stands, following the transition the new government will carry the burden of purchasing 73 new vehicles for incoming lawmakers.
