The Rule of Law Caucus has boycotted the Majority Bloc’s reconciliation meeting, labeling it as insincere. Spokesperson Dixon Seboe criticized the bloc for its actions against free speech and condemned the illegal suspension of Representative Yekeh Kolubah. The caucus continues to push for respect for Supreme Court rulings amid ongoing leadership crises in Liberia.
In Monrovia, the Rule of Law Caucus has declared its intention to boycott the Majority Bloc’s forthcoming reconciliatory meeting, denouncing it as a superficial gesture. Spokesperson Dixon Seboe, representing District 16 in Montserrado County, asserted that the meeting seeks to disguise the unjust suspension of a caucus member for voicing his opinions, which they perceive as an infringement on free speech.
During a discussion on Bana FM, Seboe articulated that the actions of the Majority Bloc lack sincere reconciliatory aims, thereby rendering the planned meeting insignificant to the Rule of Law Caucus. He expressed eagerness for the Supreme Court’s forthcoming interpretation of the Bill of Information, hopeful for a decisive ruling by March 14. Seboe further criticized the attendance of Representative Ellen Attoh-Wreh at the meeting while she participates in an International Women’s Day conference in the United States.
Additionally, the Rule of Law Caucus issued a press statement condemning the Majority Bloc for the suspension of Representative Yekeh Kolubah, labeling this action as illegal and unconstitutional. The caucus has steadfastly opposed the Majority Bloc’s practices, previously withdrawing from sessions chaired by Speaker Richard Nagbe Koon and advocating for adherence to Supreme Court decisions to preserve Liberia’s democratic integrity.
The ongoing power struggle within the House of Representatives continues to generate anxiety regarding governance issues and the adherence to the rule of law in Liberia.
The Rule of Law Caucus’s decision to boycott the Majority Bloc’s meeting underscores their concerns regarding freedom of expression and the legality of suspensions. Their opposition to the Majority Bloc’s actions reflects deepening tensions within Liberia’s political landscape, particularly regarding constitutional governance. The caucus’s call for adherence to Supreme Court rulings emphasizes the need for upholding democratic values in Liberia.
