Governance and Economic Management Assistance Program (GEMAP) was an effort, started September 2005, by the Liberian government and the international community, via the International Contact Group on Liberia (ICGL) to reshape the fundamentally broken system of governance that contributed to 23 years of conflict in Liberia. You are calling for LD$35 billion and our reserve is US$40 million. With regards to the Council of Patriots’ planned protest, scheduled for December 30, Senator Jallah believes the talks are necessary to revert the country from retrogressing. Jallah, a former president Pro-tempore of the Senate, said he has already started holding talks with some senators and eminent Liberians to help with the mediation process.
