CAPITOL HILL, MONROVIA: A total of 49 members of the House of Representatives have signed the resolution that led to the expulsion of Montserrado County District #10 Representative, Yekeh Kolubah.

The signatories, drawn from counties across Liberia, reflect broad legislative support for the move, which has already sparked national debate over its legal and political implications.

The expulsion follows a tense standoff between the Legislature and the Judiciary, particularly after a court order called for a halt to proceedings involving Rep. Kolubah. Lawmakers, however, proceeded with the vote, asserting their constitutional authority.

The development sets the stage for a potential legal battle and raises broader questions about the balance of power among Liberia’s branches of government.
