Capitol Hill, Monrovia – Representative Thomas Alexander Goshua (District #5, Grand Bassa County) has called on his colleagues at the Liberian Senate to concur with the House of Representatives in passing the amended drugs law. There shouldn’t be any reason why the Senate should not pass this bill,” Rep. Goshua said. The current drug law of 2014 has several loopholes in the fight against drug and substances in Liberia. The bill seeks to make importation of drugs a non-bailable offense, and a prison term of 20 years. In addition, the law seeks to confiscate properties and money from perpetrators that could be placed into government coffers and used as revenue.
