The House Committee on National Security has expressed concern over a security alert issued by the Special Security Service.
The Committee said the SSS was in error to publicly state that Liberia’s security situation was not favorable.
The Chairman of the Committee said the SSS does not have the authority to comment on national security matters.
Representative Saar Gbollie said the alert by the Special Security Service which was contained in a letter to the House was intimidating.
The SSS on Tuesday wrote the House warning of strict jacket security measures to protect the President during the July 26 celebrations in Nimba.
In the letter, the Presidential guard force said the measures are a result of what it considers the security situation not been favorable.
Lawmaker Gbollie said following the July 26 celebrations, SSS authorities would be invited by the House to further explain the security alert.
