Monrovia- Nimba County District Representative Musa Hassan Bility has condemned the Legislature’s handling of port reform legislation, describing the proposed Port Autonomy Law as “improper” and “dangerous.” He warned that its passage without due process risks plunging Liberia’s port system into confusion and institutional chaos. The re-passed legislation consists of two interrelated measures: the Liberia Sea and Inland Ports Regulatory Authority Act of 2024 and the Liberia Sea and Inland Ports Decentralization and Modernization Act of 2024. “But the question is, don’t they already have it?”Drawing on his experience, Bility asserted his authority on port governance. “A significant decision of the port is made by the port manager and the management,” Bility noted. The Attorney General cautioned that the Liberia Sea and Inland Ports Regulatory Authority Act creates a framework that departs sharply from both established domestic governance trends and international best practices.
