The Civil Society Organization (CSO) Working Group on land rights reform in Liberia has reawakened its campaign against the Land Rights Bill (LRB) passed by the House of Representatives in the 53rd Legislature in August 2017. In a press conference over the weekend, the CSOs Working group vowed that the bill “severely and unduly” undermines the land rights of ordinary Liberians and called on President George Manneh to prevail on the Senate not to concur with the lower House’s version.
