Speaker George Dweh of the National Transitional Legislative Assembly (NTLA)
has blamed the United Nations Secretary General’s Special Representative
to Liberia Jacques Paul Klein for the insecurity created in Monrovia by former
GOL fighters during the start of the DDRR program.
Speaker Dweh said Ambassador Klein failed to allow heads of warring parties
to be involved in the planning stage of the DDRR program.
He regretted this ugly situation which has the potential to continue the suffering
of the Liberian people and residents near this capital.
NTLA Speaker George Dweh described the Ambassador Klein’s method of
the DDRR program as potentially dangerous and unacceptable to the intent and
spirit of the comprehensive peace accord.
Ambassador Klein’s method of the DDRR program, the NTLA Press Bureau
quotes Speaker Dweh as describing it unhealthy to the wishes and aspiration
of the Liberian people.
Meanwhile, the NTLA Speaker is calling for an immediate cease-fire and an
urgent meeting with the United Nations, ECOWAS, the European Union and the
warring parties as a way of continuing consultative discussion to ensure the
fullest implementation of the peace accord to get genuine peace in Liberia.
