9 February 2012

The Press and Public Affairs Bureau of the House of Representatives says the decision by the body's plenary to suspend for the period of two weeks, the payment of parking fees in Monrovia remains unchanged. According to a press release issued by the House Press and Public Affairs Bureau, the decision can only be reversed based on the decision of the plenary, which is the highest decision making body of the House of Representatives. The House Bureau press release, signed by Mr. Isaac Redd, Director of Press and Public Affairs, was in reaction to assertions by the acting Information Minister, Jerelinmick Piah, that the decision of the House Plenary to suspend for the period of two weeks, the payment of parking fees in Monrovia is reversed following a meeting with President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf and House Speaker J. Alex Tyler.
