The Joint Committee on Judiciary and Internal Affairs of the House of Representatives will hold a public hearing on proposed amendments to the Local Government Act (LGA) of 2018 on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, beginning at 11:00 AM.

The hearing will take place in the First Floor Conference Room of the House of Representatives, Capitol Building.

The proposed amendments, submitted by Hon. Jeremiah Sokan, were formally referred to the Joint Committee for review and recommendation to plenary.

The hearing is expected to feature active participation from key government stakeholders, including representatives from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Liberia Law Reform Commission, who will provide expert input and insights on the proposed revisions.

The Joint Committee on Judiciary and Internal Affairs is chaired by Hon. Johnson S.N. Williams.

Members of the media, civil society organizations, and the general public are encouraged to attend and participate in this important legislative engagement, which seeks to enhance local governance and accountability through possible reforms to the existing law.

This initiative forms part of the Legislature’s ongoing commitment to transparency, stakeholder participation, and strengthening Liberia’s democratic and decentralization framework.
