Monrovia – There is a dangling confusion over this year’s presidential and general elections as the Supreme Court has ruled the controversial National Code of Conduct as a constitutional instrument, thereby, barring some cash spending candidates from contesting the presidential election. The Secretary General of the Movement for Economic Empowerment (MOVEE) – the party formed and headed by Jones – posted on social media:“I will in due course respond to issues surrounding the Supreme Court Ruling on the code of conduct. According to the Supreme Court ruling, the Code of Conduct was enacted in the wisdom of the National Legislature in the supreme interest of the Liberian people to protect the resources of the country from abuse by public officials. Appeals would be taken to before the entire bench of the Supreme Court. Section 12.2 states: “The Office of Ombudsman shall receive and investigate all complaints, in respect to the adherence to the Code of Conduct.
