MONROVIA, LIBERIA-A nationwide monitoring assessment has revealed weak accountability and limited public reporting by many lawmakers during Liberia’s 2026 National Legislative Constituency break.
The report, conducted by NAYMOTE Partners for Democratic Development, assessed sixty-nine of the country’s seventy-three lawmakers and found weak citizen engagement and limited accountability across many constituencies.
Addressing a news conference on Monday, May 25, 2026, in Paynesville City, NAYMOTE Executive Director, Eddie Jarwolo, said:” The exercise tracked how lawmakers used the break to engage citizens, assess community needs, and report on their work”.
He said fifty-five lawmakers visited their constituencies, while forty-four held two hall meetings and community consultations.
Jarwolo disclosed that thirty-two lawmakers used local radio to engage citizens, with only eighteen presenting formal reports on their activities and constituency performance.
Meanwhile, NAYMOTE is calling for stronger accountability measures, including mandatory reporting standards and improved public engagement, to strengthen democratic governance in Liberia.
