Leader of the Liberia delegation to the Community Parliament, Malvin Edwin Snowe Junior has said there is the need to adjust as to the way business is done in the House, as later parts of the First Ordinary Session witnessed absenteeism on the part of lawmakers, adding that it would not be business as usual.
According to him the observation of Ghanamps.com is right that towards the end of the Session there were a lot of empty seats and business should be taken seriously. “Things would change for the better under this new dispensation”.
When questioned in an interview as to why things have not changed for the better when it comes to participation of Community lawmakers, as he led a crusade against absenteeism under the fourth Legislature, under Speaker Moustapha Cisse-Lo, he said, “I agree with you, because I am one of the key people behind this current administration, there are things we are seeing that we need to adjust and I would hold a word with Rt. Hon Sidie Mohammed Tunis, things cannot remain the same”.
And further added that, as a parliament they need to have true reflection of democratic tenet and there would be consultation, “are things going as expected? I will say no, we need to work to improve things?”
