President George Weah has signed into law two major legal instruments, which include the Kamara Abdullah Kamara (KAK) Act of Press Freedom and the Act to name Certain Roads and Bridges in the country, a release from the Executive Mansion has said. Some of the changes included titling the Press Freedom Act in favor of former Press Union of Liberia (PUL) president and veteran journalist Kamara Abdullah Kamara (KAK). Free speech and media freedom advocates have hailed the President for demonstrating commitment to protecting the basic tenets of Liberia’s fledgling democracy. The KAK Act of Press Freedom also strengthens and actualizes Liberia’s commitment to several legal instruments signed onto, such as Freedom of Information (FoI) Act and the Table Mountain Declaration. President Weah, the release said, has also signed into law the Act to name Certain Roads and Bridges in the country.
