BONG MINES, Bong County — Expelled Montserrado County District #10 Representative Yekeh Y. Kolubah told supporters in Bong Mines that his removal from the House of Representatives will not silence him or weaken his political presence, insisting that he remains closely tied to ordinary Liberians.
Addressing residents over the weekend, Kolubah strongly criticized lawmakers and the political establishment in Monrovia, accusing them of focusing on personal gain instead of public service.
“My people, all the things we are doing in the Capitol building is just to make ourselves rich,” he said. “You take me from the Capitol building, you cannot take me from the Liberian people.”
He also extended his criticism to the country’s leadership, including President Joseph Boakai and members of the Legislature.
“President Boakai and all lawmakers removed from the Capitol cannot take me from the Liberian people,” Kolubah added, drawing mixed reactions from those in attendance.
His comments come amid reports that a two-thirds majority of the House of Representatives supported a resolution that led to his removal from the Legislature, a move that has deepened political tension within the Capitol.
The development has sparked widespread debate, with growing divisions now visible between opposition voices and the leadership of the House.

Growing Political Tension
The resolution has circulated widely in political circles, although it has not yet been formally debated in an open session of the House.
Supporters who attended Kolubah’s gathering in Bong Mines had mixed reactions. Some welcomed his message, while others said political disputes should be handled through established constitutional channels.
The situation continues to draw attention as many Liberians point to widening divisions within Liberia’s political space, particularly between outspoken lawmakers and the leadership of the House of Representatives.
