MONROVIA, LIBERIA- The Defense Committee of the Liberian Senate wants ECOWAS leadership to go a step further from being politically reactive during crisis and to be proactive in the sub-region.

The Chairman of the Committee, Senator Steven Zargo said ECOWAS needs to come up with a clear position on tenure limit of its member countries to avoid constitutional and political crisis in the sub-region.

He said if Countries of the sub-region set two term- limit in their various constitutions, leaders should respect the terms by stepping aside to avoid conflict.
