Montserrado County Electoral District #10 Representative, Yekeh Y. Kolubah, has formally requested additional time from the Committee on Rules, Order and Administration of the House of Representatives to enable him secure legal representation in an ongoing investigation.
In a communication to the Committee, Rep. Kolubah appealed for five working days to retain counsel, citing the recent Fast and Prayer holiday and closure of law offices between April 10–12, which he said made it difficult to engage legal services ahead of the initially scheduled hearing on Monday, April 13, 2026.
The lawmaker further noted that the matter raises significant constitutional issues, including questions regarding the Committee’s jurisdiction, and emphasized the need to consult with legal practitioners experienced in constitutional law to ensure his rights are adequately protected.
However, during its hearing on Monday, the Committee granted the request in part, indicating that five days would be excessive given the limited timeframe of the ongoing Special Session. Following a motion, the Committee allowed a two-day extension effective Monday.
Committee Chair, James Kolleh, assured that the proceedings would be conducted in line with the House’s rules and procedures, guaranteeing due process. He subsequently announced Wednesday, April 15, 2026, at 10:00 AM as the new date for the hearing.
Rep. Kolubah is currently under investigation for alleged “Gross Breach of Duty and Violation of Oath of Office,” pursuant to Articles 38 and 76 of the Constitution
