In a letter dated February 8 to President Weah, the All-Liberian Conference on Dual Citizenship said the two issues should not be combined because combining these parallel and entirely different propositions (Dual Citizenship for natural born Liberians and opening citizenship to all races) as one item in a referendum will pose a significant challenge if not destroy its efforts for dual citizenship for natural born Liberians. “We need to immediately bring to your attention that these issues should be addressed separately in any future legislative action or referendum. “Therefore, we have resolved to request a partnership relationship with your office to work together to achieve Dual Citizenship for natural-born Liberians and those born of Liberian parentage. We are encouraged by your expressed committed leadership and support for Dual Citizenship in your Annual Message to the 54th National Legislature, on Monday, January 29th. “We were deeply involved in the national consultation to amend the National Constitution, and were represented at the National Constitution Review Conference in Gbarnga, Bong County.”The group expressed gratitude to President Weah for his public support for dual citizenship and urged him to bless it with the terrific platform of his office to fully advocate for its passage into law.
