MONROVIA, Nov. 13 (LINA) – The House of Representatives has made a move to review a proposed Impeachment Procedure Act of 2025 as Plenary formulated a committee to carefully dive into the revision process of the proposed bill.
On Tuesday, November 11, 2025, during the sitting of the House of Representatives, the proponent of the communication, Rep. Nyan G. Flomo, who is representing Electoral District #2, Nimba County, underscores the need to review the proposed Act that will redefine how impeachment procedures are to be initiated as the Constitution of Liberia gives the House of Representatives the authority.
The proposed legislation, preferred by Rep. Flomo, gears toward affording a full effect to Article 43 of the 1986 Constitution, granting the legislature the power to impeach, revealing that despite the Constitution authorized the Legislature to create laws governing impeachment proceedings, there has not been a legislative enactment since the creation of the Constitution.
According to him, for failure to do what was expected of the legislature, he noticed that there have been several impeachment actions over the years without a standardized legal guide.
He says the past impeachment proceedings were challenged because of the unavailability of proper framework, which has led to those who have felt disenchanted running to ECOWAS Court and the Court has overturned some of the impeachments, something he says has to be corrected by the current legislators.
Rep. Flomo explained in his communication that the Act aims to establish a clear and transparent legal framework for initiating, investigating, and adjudicating impeachment proceedings, ensuring fairness, due process, and public trust in the exercise of this constitutional authority.
“We hope our colleagues will join us to enact this bill. It strengthens our democracy, promotes accountability, and ensures that public officials, whether elected leaders or judges, are not above the law.” Rep. Flomo stated.
Following the initial reading of the proposed Act, Maryland County District #2 Rep. Anthony Williams proffered a motion for the acceptance and review of the legislation, naming the following Committees to take seizure of the matter including the Committees on Judiciary and Good Governance.
