River Gee County | April 18, 2026 | A student leader of the William V. S. Tubman University and a prominent voice in RiverGee has ignited widespread debate after sharply criticizing lawmakers representing River Gee County, especially at the house of Representatives accusing them of prioritizing financial incentives over independent judgment.
The student, identified as Roland K. Norrington, alleged that the county’s legislators lack principled leadership and a clear alternative vision.
According to him, their decisions appear to be driven largely by monetary gain rather than public interest or critical evaluation.
In a strongly worded and satirical remark, Norrington stated, “When you tell River Gee lawmakers to even impeach Jesus Christ, they will sign. No Plan B, only ‘the money.”
His comment, though hyperbolic, underscores growing frustration among some citizens over perceived patterns of unquestioned approval of legislative actions.
The controversy gained traction after a media manager of “Voice of River Gee,” in the County posted on his official Facebook page regarding the expulsion of former Montserrado County district 10 Representative, Yekeh Kolubah.
However, Norrington’s response in the comment section quickly shifted the narrative, drawing both support and criticism online.
While some social media users echoed his concerns about accountability, others called for more respectful and constructive political dialogue.
In a related development, the Congress for Democratic Change – CDC, has announced the immediate expulsion of three lawmakers from River Gee County amid allegations of bribery.
The expelled legislators include; Alexander Poure – district 1, Isaac Choloplay Wuo – district 2, and Johnson S. N. Williams – district 3,
According to the CDC’s national leadership, the lawmakers allegedly received US$25,000 each in connection with efforts to remove Yekeh Kolubah from the legislature.
The party claims the trio endorsed and signed a resolution that contributed to his controversial ousting.
The CDC emphasized that the expulsions, finalized on April 17, 2026, reflect its commitment to maintaining internal discipline and integrity.
Party officials warned that any member found compromising its principles would face decisive action.
Beyond the Kolubah case, the lawmakers are also accused of supporting similar moves against former Speaker J. Fonati Koffa, raising further concerns about a pattern of conduct influenced by financial inducements.
Rising Political Tensions and Public Scrutiny
The unfolding developments have deepened internal tensions within the CDC, with analysts warning of potential long-term effects on party unity and credibility.
As of now, the expelled lawmakers have not publicly responded to the allegations.
Meanwhile, public discourse continues to intensify, with citizens debating issues of accountability, ethics, and the influence of money in Liberia’s legislative process.
Notably, the three representatives were originally elected on the CDC ticket during the 2023 general and presidential elections, making the controversy particularly significant for the party’s future political standing.
