Monrovia - A day after President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf made an unannounced visit to the leadership of the Liberian Senate, the body has passed the much coveted “Liberian Anti-terrorist Act” with several amendments. The Act seeks the prevention of terrorism, arrest and prosecution of terrorists and terrorist financing. Some legislative sources asserted that the President’ visit was to influence the lawmaker’s decision. FPA has gathered that the protocol was part of many instruments submitted to the Legislature by President Sirleaf for action in December of 2016. The act will be submitted to President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf for signature and printed into handbills to take effect.
