The Plenary of the Liberian Senate Tuesday adjourned prematurely owing to a confusion which erupted amongst members of the senate regarding the adoption of that august body agenda for deliberations.

 The Standing Rules of the Senate mandate senators to convene for regular Tuesday and Thursday session from 10:00am to 2:00pm with provision for extension.

Some members of the senate had suggested that major forestry concession agreements be placed on the agenda for debate and subsequent ratification. But other senators argued that the concession agreements should not form part of the agenda on grounds that the community rights law that should necessitate passage of the forestry concession agreements is yet to be passed into law.

This led to the confusion as the senators could not generally agree on the adoption of the agenda for deliberations as result of this agreement over the inclusion of the forestry agreements on the agenda. 

Efforts by Senate President Pro Tempore Cletus Wortorson to quell the confusion failed due to the insistence of majority of members of the senate that the agenda can not be adopted in the wake of the inclusion of the concession agreements on the agenda.

 As the confusion persisted, Grand Bassa County Senior Senator Gbehzohngar Findley made a rare motion for adjournment; a motion that can not be debated once it is seconded. Thereafter, the lawmakers prematurely adjourned and the work of the Liberian was cancelled Tuesday.
