Monrovia – A Grand Bassa County lawmaker has vowed to support calls for the establishment of war and economic crimes court as a means of “ending the culture of impunity and serving affected Liberians that are yearning for seeking justice”. The lawmaker’s open support for the establishment of war and economic crimes court comes as pressure mounts on the government of President George Weah to prosecute individuals accused of committing these crimes over the past decades in the country. “If we have the war crimes court established in this country, lot of things will change – there’s this argument that people are raising that there’s no money to establish the world crimes court. He said Liberians need to stop the “lazy argument about being interconnected” and that the establishment of the court would threaten the peace. Weighing-in on the political will of the Weah-led administration to support the establishment of the court, he asserted that the President is “one of the best persons” to lead the country to establishing war and economic crimes court.
