IPNEWS: The House of Representatives has agreed to invite Deputy Minister of Justice Cllr. Cora Hare and Minister of State Without Portfolio, Mamaka Bility to appear before its Leadership to provide updates on the work of the Presidential Technical Committee established to address the longstanding Ganta land dispute in Nimba County.
The decision followed the reading of a communication from Nimba County Electoral District #2 Representative Nyahn G. Flomo on Monday, November 2, 2026, during the First Day Sitting of the Leadership of the Third Quarter of the Second Session of the 55th august body.
In his communication dated October 26, 2026, Representative Flomo requested that the two officials appear before Plenary in their capacities as members or representatives of the Presidential Technical Committee, as applicable, to provide an account of its activities and progress since its establishment.
The lawmaker referenced Executive Order 160, issued by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai on March 5, 2026, establishing the Committee to oversee the enforcement and implementation of government decisions regarding the Ganta land dispute.
He expressed concern that although the Committee was expected to complete its assignment within 60 days, there has been little or no public information about its work, progress, challenges, and the current status of implementation.
Representative Flomo wants the officials to brief the Legislature on the Committee’s findings, interventions to de-escalate tensions, consultations with affected landowners and community stakeholders, and challenges affecting the resolution process.
He is also seeking information on the Committee’s recommendations and the immediate and long-term measures being considered to prevent further confrontation, protect lives and property, and restore public confidence in the dispute-resolution process.
The Nimba County lawmaker emphasized the importance of resolving the dispute peacefully and lawfully, noting the significance of Ganta as a major commercial center in the county.
Following the reading of the communication, the House Leadership agreed that Deputy Minister Cora Hare and Minister Mamaka Bility be invited to appear before Leadership to provide the requested clarification.
