Monrovia- June1, 2021: Week after he posted on his official Facebook page that he will be introducing three bills in the house of senate (An act making Easter Monday a public holiday, an act making Eid al-Adha or Abraham day as a public holiday and an act to make Eid al-fitr or the end of Ramadan as a holiday), Hon. Snowe has received some harsh comments from public, especially Christians. But in response to some of the comments coming from some religious leaders in the Christian faith on his official Facebook page today, Hon. Snowe said:

I have read and listened to all the sensational print, social media and radio spins regarding my patriotic endeavor to make our nation more inclusive and accomodating of its diversity by introducing three, very important legislations that I am sponsoring on the floor of the Liberian Senate. For the record, the introduction of these Bills is not intended to bring me in conflict, or seek favor from any particular segment of our Liberian society.

It is based on my patriotic conviction and responsibility as a Senator for all our people, based on my keen reading of Liberian history, including the proximate causes of our recent baseless prolonged civil conflict, I represent the majority as well as the minority. The introduction of these Bills represent first, my belief in equality and religious freedom as guaranteed by our Constitution and laws of our country, Liberia. Secondly, it is based on my belief and considered learning that God is a God of justice and fairplay.

Consistent with the principles of freedom of speech and expression guaranteed by our Constitution, those of you opposing these Bills have the right to call on your lawmakers to vote against them. However, as it stands, I will not, in good faith, withdraw these legislations. I will be on the floor of the Liberian Senate come Thursday, June 3rd, to ensure that these Bills are placed on the agenda and read on the floor of the Liberian Senate. I will not backdown. I will not withdraw. I will stand for what I believe is right, based on our history, and the need for a wholesome functioning of the Liberian society, and One nation, under God with liberty and justice for all. “Might don’t make right” and all is in time.
May the Almighty God, may the Almighty Allah continue to bless us all and save the state.🙏🙏
