Monrovia — The National Chairman of the ruling Unity Party, Dr. Charles Clarke has called on members of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) to unite for the common good of the country.
He wants peace and reconciliation to be the focus of the commissioners and should work collectively for the success of the TRC.
Dr. Clarke made the call Tuesday when he spoke to reporters at his Broad Street office.
"TRC is a symbol of reconciliation, therefore members must work together as a team, "he emphasized.
Commenting on the indefinite suspension of Commissioner Pearl Brown Bull, Clarke urged TRC Chairman Jerome Verdier to see reason to reconsider his decision because according to him, only one who appoints has the power to suspend or dismiss.
He observed that the dismissal of any government official rest with the President and not the head, adding, the head can only recommend to the president but cannot suspend or dismiss.

Let us have a mass memorial service for all victims of the war and let us move forward.
