MONROVIA-Massive clearing up campaign is ongoing at the Liberian Legislature ahead of the State of the Nation Address ( SONA) of President George Weah.
In keeping with article 58 of the 1986 constitution of Liberia which mandates the President of Liberia to on every fourth working Monday address the Legislature, the President shall address this Monday, January 25, 2021.
In preparation of this constitutionally provision, the Ministry of Public Works has worked on major pop holds at the entrance and drive way to the Building and at the same time begun the removal of filth at that first branch of government.
The area has been filthy for many months as bathrooms have been out of proper sanitary condition.
Not only filth at the building an issue, the lack of water at the Liberian legislature is one of the key issues affecting the area and has reached a point that lawmakers who want to use the bathrooms have to get water from outside in their private vehicles while workers at that building get water from the manholes to be used in the bathrooms in various offices.
