Monrovia - As the House of Representatives move to elect its new Speaker and Deputy Speaker, Bong County District #6 newly elected lawmaker Moima Briggs Mensah has called on her colleagues to elect leaders that will seek the interest of the Liberian people. The legislature, which has oversight responsibilities, has come under public attack for signing concession contracts that are not in the interest of Liberians. But representative-elect Mensah called on the 54th legislature to perform to the expectation of the Liberian people. The 54th Legislature is poised to see several new faces as many incumbents have been shown the exit door by the electorates. J. Fonati Koffa, head of the Special Presidential Task Force, is one of the new faces joining the legislature from Grand Kru County.
