IREDD Warns President-elect; wants fast track economic crimes courtA Civil Society Organization (CSO) has warned President-elect George M. Weah to not give second chances to former or current officials or any Liberians, who have been indicted, convicted or are perceived to be corrupt. Though the IREDD boss did not name those who should not be given second chances in the new CDC-led Government, there is speculation that former House Speaker Alex Tyler could be one of those unnamed officials. Tyler’s Liberia People’s Democratic Party is however, a member of the Coalition that provided crucial support to clinch victory for the CDC. “We also wish to urge particularly the leadership of the House of Representatives to review and reform its Standing Rules to conform to Open Parliamentary Principles of Transparency and Accountability,” Aidoo said. IREDD has also disclosed that it will be working with the National Democratic Institute on orientation of new members and will continue its Legislative Monitoring Initiative.
