MONROVIA – Former Chief Justice Gloria Musu Scott has blamed the Executive and the Legislature branches of government for the huge number of cases piling up at the Judiciary.
Justice Scott said the caseload on the Judiciary is due to the low budgetary support, signing and ratification of international laws by the Executive and the Legislature without the impact of the Judiciary.

Introduction
Liberia is Africa’s oldest ‘Democratic Republic’. What this means in legal and constitutional terms is that as a Democratic Republic the decisions that govern the people of Liberia are made or should be made by MAJORITY of the Liberian people, not one or two individuals but the overwhelming majority of the Liberian taxpayers and eligible voters. Therefore, being a democratic nation, it also means the power is squarely vested in the people of Liberia, and the voice or will of the majority MUST PREVAIL. Consequently, it means what most of the Liberian people want is what must be done. Therefore, if the handful of individuals to whom power is entrusted by the people go contrary to the unanimous decision or will of the majority, then the status quo is butchering democracy or the will of the people by the people!
