A delegation from the Parliament of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is due in Liberia Monday on a mediation mission. This comes as one group in the Liberian House of Representatives, which claims to have the majority, is demanding the removal of Speaker J. Fonati Koffa. Speaker Koffa has refused to step down. Representative Foday Edward Fahnbulleh, a member of the Good Governance and Reform Committee and a member of the group calling for Speaker Koffa’s removal, tells VOA’s James Butty, Speaker Koffa is conflicted.
