Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The Plenary of the Liberian Senate has for the second time cited the Minister of Agriculture Jeanine M. Cooper for her alleged non-compliance and non-cooperative attitude exhibited towards the Statutory Committee on Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.<\/p>\n

The decision was based on Minister Cooper\u2019s failure to appear before the full Plenary of the Liberian Senate on Tuesday, October 26 after a summoned order.<\/p>\n

The senators, during Tuesday session, expressed disappointment with respect to the manner and form the minister addressed her communication detailing an excuse to the Plenary, which some senators described as \u201cmore justifiable than an excused communication\u201d.<\/p>\n

In her communication of excuse, Minister Cooper cited her absence from the country as reason for not being able to honor the citation of the Liberian Senate.<\/p>\n

According to the communication, she left the country on October 24 to form part of the President George Weah\u2019s advance team of delegation to the Conference of Parties on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change held in Glasgow, Scotland.<\/p>\n

It can be recalled that the Plenary of the Liberian Senate wrote Minister Cooper on October 21 to appear before the full Plenary on Tuesday, October 26, 2021 at the hour of 11:05 A. M. to show cause why she should not be held in Legislative Contempt as required by Chapter 5, Article 44 of the 1986 Constitution of Liberia.<\/p>\n
