GNN Liberia investigation has uncovered that the Liberian leader, President George Manneh Weah in his bid to robustly take over every sector of the Liberian Government is reportedly contemplating to submit twenty-eight bills to the National Legislature for amendment, with one of them to do with the extension of the tenure of the presidency.
Already two bills including the removal of the tenure positions and the amendment of authority given to the Vice President to have control over the Group of 77; an institution for the disabled, and the National Lottery, it has been alleged that the President is determined to control every aspect of the government.

Ja’neh, and the just appointment of Sinoe County Senator, Cllr. Joseph Nagbe replacing Cllr. Philip Z.B. Banks who recently retired as member of that Bench, has also given edge to the CDC led Government to have control of the judiciary.
