He furthered, “If you are not working, there are punitive actions that needs to be taken and we must start now. We will work with you the newly CSA boss, to ensure that we clean the payroll properly. Play your part as head of all civil servants and we, as lawmakers will do same. Let there be a new dawn for Liberia,” Rep. Fallah added.
