The legislature will be returning with lot of issues on their plates and the paramount amount of them is the shortage of Liberia\u2019s staple food rice.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Rules, Order and Administration Senate Committee Chairman, Nyonblee Karnga Lawrence, is appealing to the Legislature to return from its break so as to muster its courage to deal with the rice situation in the Country.<\/p>\n<p>In a dispatch, the Grand Bassa County Senator says, she believes that when the Legislature deals with the rice issues at different levels it will help to save the Country and also prevent the situation from generating into crisis.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Senator Lawrence says though the Executive through the Ministry of Commence is not correctly performing its statutory obligation to bring hope to the Liberian people on the situation, the Legislature should also share some of the blames.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Grand Bassa County Lawmaker, during the passage of the current budget, the Legislature was also proven to be very weak in its oversight responsibilities. She maintained that the Legislature should have had a Public and Budget Hearing on the USD 11,000,000.00 subsidy for rice importation before passage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
