Liberia: Senate Makes Major Gains Under Pro-Tempore Karnga-Lawrence Leadership One Month into Her Leadership

MONROVIA – In her first month as Pro Tempore of the Liberian Senate, Madam Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence has hit the ground running with the announcement of several reforms and modernization plans intended to enhance accountability, research, oversight, and dignity at the Liberian Senate.

In what appears to be a robust reform and rebranding effort for the Senate, she has set her sights on improving sanitation by providing piped water in all bathrooms—a situation that has been a major challenge for years at the Capitol.

The water sourced from boreholes dug on the Capitol grounds has solved the age-old problem of “No water in the bathroom.”

The availability of running water in the Senate wing by the Senate Pro Tempore has so far enhanced sanitation to a greater extent at the upper-house Senate wing of the Capitol.

Continuing her modernization efforts, Pro Tempore Karnga-Lawrence has also commenced work on installing public Wi-Fi at the Liberian Senate.
