Monrovia – Members of the House of Representatives have expressed dismay over recent statements made by the former Chairman of the erstwhile Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), Cllr. Jerome Verdier that they received a hefty bribe to quash the establishment of the War and Economic Crimes Court for Liberia. In his testimony before the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission hearing on establishing a War Crimes & Economic Crimes Court for Liberia on Monday, Cllr. At no point in time this august body has received any money from the Executive to hold down any war crimes issues in Liberia,” he debunked. Verdier’s outburst was done in frustration and there was no need to respond to him other than initiating the process of establishing the war and economic crimes court for Liberia.
