The Unity Party Candidate for the Speakership Election of the House of Representatives has promised to rebrand and restore the sanity of the House of Representatives if Elected.

Representative Koon told journalists Wednesday that if elected as Speaker of the First Branch of government, his first one hundred days in Office will ensure that ruining water and Electricity are stabled at the Grounds of the Capitol, where Legislators and other employees’ will not carry water on their heads.

The Unity Party District #11 Representative said his quest to head his colleagues at the House of Representatives is to avoid the body from having an agonist speaker, who will abstract the development agenda of the Unity Party government.

Koon said unless the past leadership of the House, a leadership under his watch will be independent, where his colleague’s legislative agenda will be prioritized, adding that  his selection to head the Unity Party bloc was based on rigorous vetting process, qualification and competence.

He said as speaker of the 55th legislature, he will ensure that every County Caucus have their separate inputs during the debate of the national budget in various committee rooms to highlight priority areas for development before passages, which will enable countries and Districts to have a fair share of the National Budget.

Representative Koon has at the same time re-emphasized his commitment to cut the Speaker’s budget by 20% when elected and uses the same to address critical needs in the Districts of his colleagues as well as Legislative staffers’ warfare among others.

Representative Koon spoke when a group of journalists under the banner “Independent Legislative Reporters of Liberia” petitioned him as the best Candidate for the January 15, 2023 Speakership Election.

Reading the statement, group spokesperson Darious Zenah said the action was triggered by Representative Koon’s numerous contributions to the Legislature during his first six years.

Darious said Representative Koon during the 54th legislature introduced an Act Establishing the National Commission on Disabilities, an Act creating The National Commission of the Elderly, the New Elections Reform Bill, and An Act to repeal the 2003 Amnesty Law among others.
