-Nimba Rep., Nyan Flomo, Justifies
The debate has spread across the Country. Liberians are expressing their opinions of the political trend of events, particularly the recent expulsion from the House of Representatives, of Montserrado District-10 former Representative, Yekeh Kolubah.
While some are backing the decision taken by forty nine members of the House, others are condemning and calling it a political witch-hunt of Yekeh because of his critical views of the current administration of President Joseph Boakai. “Yekeh insulted and made messy comments against former President George Weah, but was untouched, now he is doing the same to Boakai, so why bother him,” a man in his late fifties remarked on Monday.
For others, Yekeh’s alleged unruly behavior even when serious matters are being debated at the House of Representatives deserves his expulsion.
“Yekeh’s attitude is unrepresentative of a member of the Liberian Legislature,” John Weh, a student of the University of Liberia, said.
Before his expulsion from the Lower House of the Legislature on Friday, April 17, 2026, the former Montserrado District-10 lawmaker was, during numerous instances, thrown out of sessions for alleged disorderly conduct.
In a recent statement attributed to him, Nimba County Representative, Nyan Flomo, in an apparent justification of Yekeh’s expulsion, argued that his former colleagues behavior was an embarrassment to the legislature, specifically the House of Representatives.
“We took the decision to save the sanity of the Legislature,” the Nimba Lawmaker quoted by the statement said.
The expelled Montserrado District-10 Representative fell in trouble with some members of the Lower House of the Legislature when, during the bother crisis between Liberia and Guinea, he publicly remarked that the disputed land belongs to the Republic of Guinea, not Liberia.
Nimba Legislator, Flomo further argued that his former colleague’s public remarks could have risked the lives of Liberian citizens living in towns near the disputed bor. “Kolubah violated the oath he took to protect and defend the Constitution of Liberia,” the Nimba Lawmaker said.
Yekeh, currently on what is said to be a nationwide tour has told his supporters in Bong County that his expulsion from the House of Representatives will not deter him from speaking against the ills of the current administration of President Joseph Boakai.
“You take me from the Legislature, you cannot take me from the Liberian people,” Yekeh retorted amidst a thunderous applause.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has issued a writ to the House’s leadership to file in their return before Aprils 28, 2026, pending the rival parties meeting on the 29th April with Justice in chambers, Yusuf Kaba.
