The leadership of the House of Representatives received an expulsion request against Montserrado County District #10 Representative Yekeh Y. Kolubah. The request follows remarks Rep. Kolubah made regarding Liberia’s border crisis with Guinea. Kolubah reportedly adjudged Liberia guilty, claiming the parcel of land in question belongs to Guinea. The matter officially landed on the desk of House Speaker Richard Nagbe Koon during Monday’s (March 30) leadership session. Listed under: “Business on the Speaker’s Desk, Count B,” the request formally seeks the expulsion of Rep. Kolubah. It cited concerns over national security, public safety, and state stability. The motion comes after an earlier communication from Liberia National Police (LNP) Inspector General Gregory O.W. Coleman, which flagged Kolubah’s conduct as “raising serious concerns for national security and public stability.” The session, the 8th day of the 1st quarter of the 3rd legislative session, opened with prayer and proceeded to the adoption of the day’s agenda. Among the items was a detailed call for committee reports and appearances by various officials to address other pressing issues, including revenue concerns from the China Union Tank Facility and subsidy irregularities outside the national budget. At the heart of the controversy are remark allegedly made by Kolubah on Spoon TV on March 20, 2026. During the broadcast, he reportedly stated that certain disputed areas along the Liberia/Guinea border, “rightfully belong to Guinea.” Kolubah’s comment sparked outrage from fellow legislators and national security officials. The expulsion request has intensified debates within the legislature, as members weigh the seriousness of Kolubah’s statements against the principles of “free speech and representation.” Lawmakers have noted that any action taken could set a precedent for how border-related commentary and public statements by elected officials are treated. It can be recalled, Montserrado County District #3 Representative Sumo K. Mulbah formally petitioned the House leadership on March 22, 2026. He called for Kolubah’s suspension or expulsion. Mulbah cited “acts incompatible with legislative office and violation of the oath of office,” invoking constitutional provisions for immediate action. “I hereby submit a formal request to the House of Representatives to commence proceedings for immediate suspension or the expulsion of Yekeh Kolubah,” Mulbah wrote in his letter to Speaker Koon, referencing Article 17 of the constitution, which guarantees citizens the right to petition the government for redress. The lawmaker further accused Kolubah of “breaching his constitutional oath of office” under Article 31, which obligates legislators to “uphold, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution.” Mulbah said, any public suggestion of ceding territory constitutes a “direct breach of this duty.” smartnewsliberia.com
