The President Pro-tempore of the Liberian Senate, Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence has frowned on the illegal operations of both CTN and MedTech at the National Port Authority.
Pro-temp Karnga-Lawrence wondered why the two companies that are collecting huge amounts at the Port will still be operating in the country without the approval of the Legislature.
“This Senate can shutdown MedTech, especially if they are not operating legally and that, the worst thing is, they are not even paying taxes,” she rallied her colleagues.
Pro Tempore Karnga-Lawrence said on many occasions that, her ardent goal is to see a reformed Senate that truly reflects the interests of the country and its citizens.
In her efforts to ensure transparency and accountability, she ordered the General Auditing Commission (GAC) to conduct a comprehensive review of the Senate’s financial system, establish a robust operating system, including financial and administrative measures.
“This framework will enable regular audits and enhance our oversight responsibilities. Since 2014, I have advocated for good governance and adequate oversight of government expenditures, emphasizing the national budget as a tool for reform and transformation,” she stated.
