Monrovia – President George Manneh Weah has called for the repealing of the part of the Constitution that restricts Liberian citizenship to people of color. President Weah described the issue of citizenship in Liberia as his most urgent and imperative agenda. That, in my view, has become serious impediment and progress of the country,” President Weah said. President Weah: “They, as freed slaves, were fleeing from the oppressive yoke of slavery imposed upon them by white slave owners. President Weah has also noted that constitutional limitation [Article 22 (a) ] on land ownership is also impeding and stunting Liberia’s growth and development.
