VOINJAMA, Lofa County – In Liberia, the Constitution provides that the Supreme Court is the final arbiter of justice with no other hope for any individual against whom the Supreme Court gives an opinion. Perhaps the only other hope any individual who disagrees with the Supreme Court’s opinion in Liberia is God, and until that time, the opinion by the Supreme Court is final and nothing can change it. In some instances, the Court recalls its own opinion, but sometimes after the person affected by the decision has already served the punishment. One man believes while the ruling by the Supreme Court is final, he has a right to seek clarity from the High Court relating to the way in which the Court has given an opinion in involving him. According to Samukai nothing should be ambiguous about the interpretation of the word “disability” as being used by the Supreme Court in blocking his certification by the NEC.
