Liberia: Suspension of Representative Yekeh Kolubah by House Majority Bloc
The House Majority Bloc has suspended Representative Yekeh Kolubah for 30 session days due to rude behavior as reported by Representative Johnson Williams. The suspension followed the findings of the House Committee on Rules, with most lawmakers supporting the action, while a few dissented.
In Monrovia, the House Majority Bloc has officially voted to suspend Representative Yekeh Kolubah from Montserrado County for a duration of 30 session days. This action follows a report presented by James Kolleh, a lawmaker from Bong County, on behalf of the House Committee on Rules, Order, and Administration. The complaint against Kolubah was lodged by River Gee County Representative Johnson Williams, who alleged that Kolubah displayed disrespectful behavior towards the House leadership.
The decision to suspend was supported by a majority of lawmakers, reflecting a significant consensus within the House. However, three Representatives—Matthew Joe, Emmanuel Dahn, and Sumo Mulbah—expressed their dissent by voting against the suspension. This incident highlights ongoing tensions within the legislative body and the importance of maintaining decorum among its members.
In summary, the House Majority Bloc’s suspension of Representative Yekeh Kolubah for 30 days illustrates the serious nature of decorum within the legislative process. The majority agreement on this decision showcases a unified stance on maintaining order, although dissent from some members indicates existing divisions.
