Cautions Minister Tweah not to allow President Weah to approve it without their inclusion
Justices of the Supreme Court, having realized that the Judiciary may not be counted among beneficiaries of the US$10.5 million Supplementary Budget just passed by the Legislature, have thrown their voices out to remind the Executive and Legislative branches of govenment not to sideline the third branch of Government.
The Justices, therefore, have resolved to ask the President not to approve the budget if the government did not allot any of the money to the Judiciary this time around.
The Justices vented their anger yesterday when they cited Finance and Development Planning, Minister Samuel Tweah and Justice Minister Musa Dean to explain why the judiciary is left out of the supplementary budget.

In an effort to mitigate the effects of the global pandemic, at least 85,000 Petty Traders, including Market women, are expected to benefit from a COVID Cash Transfer Program in Liberia.
Launched by the Government of Liberia on December 19, 2020, in collaboration with USAID, the COVID cash transfer of US$150 will be disbursed to the most vulnerable in the Liberian society in three installments in an effort to cushion the effects of the global pandemic.
Finance Minister Samuel Tweah told participants during a virtual conference meant to launch the program that, in the Pro-poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development (PAPD), the government looks at social protection as a valuable investment, particularly in vulnerable rural settings. Minister Tweah said in the last few years, resources that have been dedicated to social protection programs have been on the low side, which he said the Weah administration wants to scale up.
