Monrovia – Senator George Weah’s continuous absence and short stay at the ECOWAS Parliament sessions has begun raising eye brow among members of the parliament and has also sparked a new set of regulations to govern sessions, meetings and missions. “At a personal level, I need hardly emphasize that this conduct is not benefitting our highly exalted offices as representatives of over 300 million citizens of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Sources within the Parliament informed FrontPageAfrica that members of Parliament being embarrassed by the ambiguous nature of the communication immediately called the Speaker out, requesting him to mention Amb. The Parliamentarians were concerned that the ambiguous nature of the communication which they believed was generally undermining their credibility. It can be recalled that in May 2016, Senator Weah who heads the Liberian delegation to the ECOWAS parliament transferred his official responsibility to Representative Edwin Snowe to make Liberia’s case at the regional body.
