Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The House of Representatives is expected to hold emergency session to return ArcelorMittal 3rd Mineral Development Agreement (MDA) to the Executive for renegotiation of the deal which currently promises to invest about US$800 million in the country \u2013 one of the biggest in the region.<\/p>\n

According to a well-placed legislative source, the decision comes from a report from the House of Representatives Committee on Concession and Investment. The Senate had earlier informed the House of the need for a conference committee to review the proposed amendments to the agreement.<\/p>\n

On February 8, 2022, the Liberian Senate rectified the 3rd Amendment to the Mineral Development Agreement between the Government of Liberia and ArcelorMittal, nearly a month after the House of Representative\u2019s controversial alterations which were passed on to the Senate for concurrence. The lower House\u2019s amendment to the Agreement heavily altered the context and intent agreed between the executive and ArcelorMittal.<\/p>\n

According to the secretary of the Senate, after the Senate\u2019s passage of the agreement, they wrote the House of Representatives for a conference on the AML deal, to harmonize their position on the Agreement for transmission to the Executive.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the conference, according to Vice President Jewel Howard-Taylor, who presided over the sitting was to bring the lower and upper Houses together to resolve all of their recommendations before forwarding the agreement to the office of the president for the conclusion of the process.<\/p>\n

On the day of the passage of the US$800 Million deal in the upper House, the Vice President in consultation with Pro-Tempore Albert Chie set up a seven-member conference committee including Senator Augustine S. Chea as Chairman, Senators, Varney Sherman, Nyonblee Kargna-Lawrence, Prince Moye, Simeon Taylor, Numene Bartewka and Jeremiah Koung as members respectively, to work with their counterpart, the Lowe House, to conclude the Agreement at the Legislature level.<\/p>\n

This meant that the Senate and the House of Representatives Joint Committees on Judiciary, Investment, Lands, Mines and Energy, Natural Resources would have long since convened in a conference committee to sort out the differences in the two agreements earlier passed by both Houses.<\/p>\n

However, FrontPageAfrica has gathered that, the leadership of the House of Representatives has since deployed a deliberate delay tactic to stall the holding of the conference.<\/p>\n

Sources in the Legislature believe that members of the House, especially those chairing several influential committees have expressed displeasure that the Senate didn\u2019t endorse their massive alterations to the Mineral Development Agreement, and therefore, were reneging to sit at the table with them to find a common resolution.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in the Liberian Senate, there is this generally held belief that the Legislature has no authority to alter an agreement sent to them for approval. Instead, they can either reject or pass.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not our right under the law to change an agreement which has been entered into by the executive and a concessionaire,\u201d said one Senate source. The source continued, \u201cIn our wisdom, we need to just make recommendations and not to change the entire agreement and insert what we want as Legislators, because it is not our role to negotiate\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the House sees it that way, it is up to them, for use we believe only the Executive can negotiate the terms and conditions of concessions, not the Legislature because the constitutional requirement to rectify is to serve as quality assurers to figure out if the agreement is in the country\u2019s best interest and not to make an input,\u201d the Senate source said.<\/p>\n

When asked from Representative Clarence Massaquoi, Chairman of the House\u2019s Committee on Investment and Concession, about the decision of the Senate on the deal, he confirmed that the Senate has already written the House, and they have passed a version different from what we did\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have also submitted names of people on their conference committee\u201d, adding \u201cI am sure, that communication will be read next Tuesday\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have no option. It\u2019s a matter of procedure. That is the Parliamentary procedure\u201d replied Massaquoi when quizzed further whether or not he is willing to go for a conference with the senate\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Government of the Republic of Liberia and ArcelorMittal (\u2018the Company\u2019), the world\u2019s leading steel company, on September 9, 2021, signed an amendment to the Mineral Development Agreement (\u2018MDA\u2019) that could pave the way for the expansion of the Company\u2019s mining and logistics operations in Liberia and allow ArcelorMittal to significantly ramp up production of premium iron ore, generating significant new jobs and wider economic benefits for Liberia.<\/p>\n

The expansion project \u2013 which encompasses processing, rail, and port facilities \u2013 could be one of the most significant mining projects in West Africa with the capital to finalize the project expected to be approximately $8 billion, as it is effectively a brownfield expansion that includes the co<\/p>\n

The expansion project \u2013 which encompasses processing, rail, and port facilities \u2013 could be one of the most significant mining projects in West Africa with the capital to finalize the project expected to be approximately $8 billion, as it is effectively a brownfield expansion that includes the construction of a new concentration plant and the substantial expansion of mining operations, with the first concentrate expected in late 2023, ramping up to 15 million tons per annum (\u2018mtpa\u2019).<\/p>\n

Under the agreement, the company will have reservations for expansion for at least up to 30mt while other users may be allowed to invest in additional rail capacity.<\/p>\n
