The Plenary of the House, acting on the request of Rep. Richard Koon’s (District 11, Montserrado) communication voted to invite the management of the agency to state reasons behind his actions. “I am craving the endorsement of this plenary to cite the head of the National Disaster Management Agency to state reasons for the agency lackadaisical attitude in the implementation of its mandate,” he wrote. It can be recalled that in April 2020, a disastrous storm hit the three Electoral Districts damaging several houses and leaving many homeless. The lawmakers of the affected districts including Reps. Samuel Enders (District 6, Montserrado County), Richard Koon (District #11, Montserrado) and Edward Flomo (District #13) formed a partnership with Senator Darius Dillon to identify with the distressed residents. But the country’s disaster management agency, he said, has ignored its mandate by not responding to the situation.
