The Liberian Senate says, its attention has been drawn to unwarranted attitudes by some individuals who are soliciting funds from nominees under the pretense of negotiating for their confirmation hearing.
The Senate described this act as unwarranted, undemocratic and has no place in the confirmation process of nominees by members of the Liberian Senate.
According to a Senate Press Release, the Liberian Senate says at no time has any Senator demanded money from any nominee and will never do so for the purpose of confirmation.
The Liberian Senate maintained that confirmation of nominees is on the basis of their qualifications and suitability and not on the basis of money.
The release says any nominees giving money to anybody for the purpose of their confirmation will do so on their own risks and not on behalf of any Senator.
This unscrupulous behavior on the part of some individuals was brought to the attention of the Liberian Senate by Senate Ways, Means, Finance and Budget Committee Chairman, Sen. Prince Moye of Bong County.
