The Presidential Committee has not met physically, but it has met virtually. The Presidential Committee members were appointed by the President of the Republic by the issuance of ‘Presidential Letters’ and not via Facebook or other social media platforms. Some of the journalists who have accused members of the State Security of abuses are located in counties that are distanced from Monrovia. I have only on today learnt that the PUL has set up a committee to work along with the Presidential Committee and we welcome that and look forward to working in tandem. The Presidential Committee respects the leadership of the Press Union of Liberia and remains committed to the mandate it has received from the President of the Republic of Liberia.
