Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The House of Representatives of Liberia has seized the passage of the recast budget of 2024 due to the Ministry of Finance’s decision to eliminate the ($100,000 USD) allocated for the legislative project under the Liberia Agency for Community Empowerment (LACE).<\/p>\n

Sources within the house have revealed that the House of Representatives was scheduled to have a special session today (September 13, 2024) for the House’s committee on ways, means, and finance to present a report on the recast budget.<\/p>\n

However, the session has been postponed and to be held on Monday, 16 September 2024 at 11am.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Sources further that the lawmakers have agreed to re-insert the US$11.8m for the 103 lawmakers; 73 Representatives and 30 Senators for their legislative projects.<\/p>\n
