MONROVIA – The Liberian Senate concurred with the House of Representatives on September 16, 2022 to enact a bill amending Section 5.2 and Section 10.2 of the 2014 Code of Conduct. Although it has serious ramifications for the political process in Liberia, this Act, which was passed on the final day of the Senate’s Special Session, has gotten little public attention. This implies that many Weah-led Government officials will be barred from campaigning for President Weah’s re-election. The second criticism leveled against the law is that it covers too many individuals, both named and unnamed. Legislators who are now in office have attempted for a very long time to enact legislation prohibiting citizens from opposing them.
