Supreme Court Summons Koon, Fallah to Respond to Bill of Information Filed by Embattled Speaker J. Fonati Koffa

Monrovia, Liberia: The Supreme Court of the Republic of Liberia has issued a writ summoning key members of the House of Representatives to appear before the full bench on March 14, 2025, to respond to a Bill of Information filed by embattled Speaker J. Fonati Kofa and other members of the 55th Legislature.

The writ, signed by Supreme Court Clerk Cllr. Sam Manulu, requires the respondents—including Representative Richard N. Koon, who claims the speakership, and Deputy Speaker Thomas Fallah—to show cause why the informants’ request should not be granted. The Court has further instructed the respondents to submit their official returns to the writ.

Additionally, the Supreme Court has tasked Brigadier General Amos B. Kesseh Dickson Sr., Marshal of the Court, with ensuring the respondents are served the writ, and proof of service is duly filed.

The case is set to unfold as tensions rise in the Liberian legislative body.
