Some of the chiefs, elders and tribal governors at the regional consultation in Tubmanburg, Bomi County on March 4, 2020. The consultation was organized by the Civil Society Human Rights Advocacy Platform and the National Council of Chiefs and Elders of Liberia. They included Chief Siafa M. Barmadia, Chief Koisee Gahn and Chief Haji A. Sombai, chairpersons of the Chiefs and Elders Council of Bomi, Gbarpolu and Cape Mount. Chief Momo Kiazulu, Vice Chair for Chiefs Affairs of the Council, attested their resolution. The 17 chiefs, elders and tribal governors gave a 90-day ultimatum—beginning March 5—to lawmakers representing their counties to push for the passage into law of a resolution already before the House Representatives for the court and a separate court for economic crimes.
