A recent nomination made by President Joseph Nyuma at the Liberia Land Authority has been challenged by a group of civil society actors who say that the President's action contravenes the act that created the entity.
Part III section 16.2 of the LLA Act states,"Commissioners shall be appointed on a non-partisan basis and shall be selected for their integrity, impartiality and their selection shall reflect regional and gender consideration with the provision that no two commissioners shall come from the same county."
The statement further said,"The civil society would like to point out this contradiction in the appointment of the Vice Chair, so that the President can take appropriate action, not to be seen as violating the Act of the LLA." Meanwhile, the land rights group also expressed disappointment that, since the inception of this new government, there have been no public or policy pronouncements in support of the Land Rights Act of Liberia.
