..Says salary harmonization was unconstitutionalThe administration of President George Weah has been sued by 16 prominent judges for salary discrimination which, they claim, has affected their livelihood. The judges, in their class-action lawsuit, claimed that the National Remuneration Standardization Act of 2019 is discriminatory and unconstitutional.
