President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf Address To The Nation At The Unity Conference Centre, Outside Monrovia

President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf is addressing a divided Legislature at the Unity Conference Center in Virginia, outside Monrovia. President Sirleaf went to Virginia few hours after the Supreme Court of Liberia ruled that all actions by the renegade Representatives are unconstitutional.

Also, several Senators and Representatives including Speaker Edwin Snowe have converged on the Centennial Pavilion on Ashmun Street in Central Monrovia. The Legislators went to the Centennial Pavilion after the Supreme Court of Liberia upheld the Prohibition on the Virginia sitting, recognizing the Speakership of Snowe.

Speaker Snowe described the ruling of the Supreme Court as a victory for the rule of law in post-conflict Liberia. In a statement issued, Speaker Snowe called on the relevant institution of government to ensure the return of the chairs of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker.

The chairs mysteriously disappeared at the Centennial Pavilion last week and surfaced at the Unity Conference Center in Virginia. The General Services Agency, custodian of all government, denied having any acknowledge of how the left the Pavilion and surfaced in Virginia.
