MONROVIA – Bomi County Senator Edwin Melvin Snow has defended the controversial contract involving the Liberia Telecommunications Authority and Telecom International Alliance (TIA), arguing that the government should pursue legal action rather than canceling the agreement.
Speaking on the ongoing debate surrounding the TIA deal, Senator Snow said the Liberian Constitution protects the sanctity of contracts and warned that disregarding contractual agreements could create a dangerous precedent for the country.
According to the senator, the government must adhere to due process and avoid what he described as bending the law to satisfy political interests.
“Government should file a court action or litigation instead of canceling the TIA contract to enter another contract,” Senator Snow stated. “I don’t believe it is in the best interest of the country.”
The Bomi County lawmaker further disclosed that while the House of Representatives voted to de-ratify the agreement, the Senate did not support.
