The House Majority Bloc in Liberia has suspended Representative Yekeh Kolubah for thirty session days following accusations of rude behavior by another representative. The suspension was supported by the majority of lawmakers, though some opposed the decision.
In a recent decision, the House Majority Bloc in Monrovia has suspended Montserrado County Representative Yekeh Kolubah for a duration of 30 legislative session days. This action was taken following a report from Bong County lawmaker James Kolleh, representing the House Committee on Rules, Order, and Administration. The suspension is primarily grounded on a formal complaint from River Gee County Representative Johnson Williams, who accused Representative Kolubah of displaying discourteous behavior towards the current leadership of the House.
During the voting process, the majority of lawmakers favored the suspension, highlighting a significant consensus within the bloc. However, it is noteworthy that three representatives—Matthew Joe, Emmanuel Dahn, and Sumo Mulbah—expressed dissent by voting against the suspension, indicating a division of opinions among the legislators.
The suspension of Representative Yekeh Kolubah for thirty session days reflects the House Majority Bloc’s stance on maintaining decorum within legislative proceedings. This situation underscores the importance of respectful conduct among lawmakers and illustrates the mechanisms in place for addressing grievances in the legislative assembly. The varied responses from the representatives during the vote further demonstrate the complexities of political dynamics in Liberia’s House.
