A Nigeria Senator, a member of the Sub-regional Community Parliament, Foster Ogola has urged countries in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Parliament to present country reports that are current and robust.
He single out Liberia for praise, for presenting a current report reflecting current development in that country.
“The missing sixteen billion Liberian dollars, is something that their government has come out to refute but it occurred this year, we heard about it the news and has been reported”.
Mr. Foster Ogola made this remarks when Liberia, Ghana, Sierra Leone and Senegal presented their country report on Monday 19th November, 2018.
Again we accept the reports presented by the other countries but they are mainly 2016/17, “what has happened to ten months of 2018, I believe the country report should be more robust and up today”
The purpose of this country report system is to ensure that we have a peer review mechanism and want to identify countries that are sinking into problem and see how ECOWAS can intervene, if the report are overdue two years behind it is difficult to get intervention from ECOWAs or the Parliament, he pointed out.
