Monrovia-House Speaker Dr Bhofal Chambers has termed as ambiguous the petition seeking the establishment of an economic and war crimes court in Liberia.
Tuesday, a group of protesters under the banner National Student Movement for the establishment of an Economic and War Crimes Court in Liberia submitted a petition to the legislature.
But Speaker Chambers noted that the petition did not state which of the houses should address the matter.
According to him, the petitioners need to redo their petition specifying the main arm of the legislature that should look into the claims.
Presenting the group’s petition prior to the assertion of the Speaker, Fubbi Henries called for those who committed atrocities during the Liberian civil unrest to be punished for their wrongdoings.
Henries noted that the recommendations as contained in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report should be implemented.
According to him, the implementation of the TRC report could avert the recurrence of Liberia’s bitter past.
For his part, Representative Kano Wesso who received the petition promised to protect the Constitution of Liberia.
