Monrovia, Liberia- Recently, President Joseph Boakai submitted a communication to the plenary of the House of Representatives requesting authorization to spend a sum of US$41,300,000.00 to cover government operations for the month of February 2024.
President Boakai got final approval by the Senate moments ago to spend 41 million for February, however, four senators voted against the approval. They are Senators Darius Dillon, Nathaniel McGill, Numene Bartekwa and Glebo Brown.
The Senate finally concurs with the House of Representatives.
It be recalled, a report from the Joint Committee on Ways, Means and Finance and Public Accounts and Expenditure received the House of Representatives’ approval. It allows the executive branch to spend $41,300,000 US dollars in February 2024 to fund government operations. This follows hours of intense deliberation among members of the HOR during Tuesday’s sitting up Capitol Hill.
Our legislative reporter at the House of Representatives said 38 lawmakers voted for the passage of the budget, two lawmakers abstained from the voting process, while Nimba County electoral district #7 Representative Musa Bility voted against the passage of the country’s fiscal instrument.
The President’s request has been finally granted by both the 55th National Legislature.
