Once a fierce critic of former President George Weah, Representative Yekeh Kolubah has become the subject of intense scrutiny, highlighting the evolving dynamics of power under President Joseph Nyuma Boakai.
His looming disciplinary showdown didn’t just appear out of nowhere. It’s the result of years of high-voltage politics, shifting loyalties, and repeated clashes with power—no matter who holds it.
Kolubah first made his name as one of the fiercest critics of former President George Weah and the CDC-led government. He didn’t just oppose, he attacked, often with raw, unfiltered language. In plenary, on radio, and across social media, he accused the Weah administration of corruption and failure, earning him a loyal following among frustrated citizens—but also making him plenty of enemies in government. His style was magnetic to supporters and intolerable to critics.
Then came the political twist.
After the 2023 transition that brought President Joseph Nyuma Boakai to power, Kolubah’s tone seemed to soften on Weah —at least temporarily. Once a critic to Weah, he appeared to lean toward the new administration’s reform agenda. That shift raised eyebrows. And now, in a striking turn of events, he’s facing serious disciplinary action under a system he was once seen as aligning with.
So what triggered this explosion?
One major flashpoint was Kolubah’s controversial remarks about Liberia’s border dispute with Guinea. His suggestion that a contested area in Lofa County might belong to Guinea sparked outrage. Lawmakers saw it as reckless — potentially undermining national sovereignty. That alone was enough to ignite calls for investigation and possible expulsion.
But this isn’t just about one comment.
Kolubah has long been accused of crossing the line—repeatedly. From fiery accusations against top officials to statements many colleagues describe as inflammatory and unsubstantiated, he’s built a reputation for pushing boundaries. Previous efforts to discipline or suspend him didn’t stick, but frustration inside the Legislature has been building for years.
Now, it’s reaching critical mass.
Reports suggest that a sizable bloc of lawmakers—more than two-third ( 49 ) lawmakers signed for his expulsion.That level of support signals something serious: this isn’t just political disagreement anymore; it’s institutional backlash.
Still, not everyone agrees with the push.
Some political voices and civil society actors warn that expelling Kolubah could send the wrong message—especially in a democracy still finding its footing. They argue that even uncomfortable speech deserves protection, and that silencing a controversial figure could weaken, not strengthen, democratic space.
Through it all, Kolubah remains defiant.
He’s survived past attempts to sideline him and continues to cast himself as a voice for ordinary Liberians—someone willing to say what others won’t. To his supporters, he’s bold and unfiltered. To his critics, he’s disruptive and careless.
Either way, one thing is clear: this isn’t just about one lawmaker anymore.
The Kolubah controversy has become a national conversation—about free speech, discipline, loyalty, and the limits of dissent in Liberia’s democracy.
And however it ends, it’s going to leave a mark.
Now Yekeh Kolubah was on Friday, April 17, 2026 expelled from the 55th house of representatives making him a former lawmaker.
Now, the question is, will Kolubah remain silent or he will still remain vocal to power?
