Bishop Brown observed that there are mounting concerns within the public on the whereabouts of monies printed during the administration of ex-Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, and the present regime of President George Manneh Weah. He admitted that though those managing the country’s economy are making frantic efforts to address the situation, genuine concerns being raised by citizens on the printing of new Liberian bank notes must be addressed. Play supervisory roleBishop Brown stated that though members of both Houses have given a partial approval for the printing of the new Liberian bank notes, they (lawmakers) must now play a “supervisory role” over the entire process. He maintained that the Council remains concerned about the issue of accountability relative to the printing of new family of Liberian bank notes. He called on members of the Banking and Currency Committee of both Houses to ask the hard questions and conduct public hearings on speculations and doubts over the previous printing of monies before making a final determination on the printing of new Liberian bank notes.
