Varmah, is urging reforms to protect Liberia's constitutional democracy, citing recent threats like alleged human rights violations and executive actions that ignore judicial decisions. Varmah advocates for stronger accountability mechanisms and calls for the LNBA to have more authority in setting ethical standards and disciplinary actions for legal practitioners. The LNBA aims to collaborate with policymakers and civil society to ensure constitutional rights are upheld and to improve the quality of judicial opinions.
