Led by Eminent Emmanuel S. Wettee and his dedicated team, the All Liberian Conference on Dual Citizenship (ALCOD) has tirelessly championed reforms in the 2022 Dual Citizenship Act.
A contentious issue their advocacy addresses is the law’s provision preventing Liberian-born citizens in the diaspora from holding positions in the Liberian Ministerial Cabinet and electoral offices, deemed unconstitutional by the 54th Legislature of Liberia and prompting an urgent review by the 55th Legislature.
Eminent Emmanuel S. Wettee and other patriots are resolute in their call for a revision, aiming to eliminate the disenfranchisement of Liberian-born citizens living abroad, as highlighted by Capitol Times Liberia (source: Capitol Times Liberia).
