CAPITOL HILL, MONROVIA – In a move that is being seen as strategically timed, the Plenary of the House of Representatives voted on Tuesday to lift the suspension imposed on seven lawmakers, including Montserrado County District #10 Representative Yekeh Kolubah. The decision was reached during the ongoing plenary session and comes just days before the highly anticipated Speakership election.
The motion to lift the suspension was filed by Representative James Kolleh, who argued that restoring the suspended lawmakers’ right to participate in the legislative process was crucial as the House gears up for the election of a new Speaker. The lifting of the suspension ensures that all members will have a voice in the proceedings, adding further complexity to the already politically charged atmosphere in the Legislature.
The suspended lawmakers, who had been sidelined following a recent crisis within the House, include some of the most vocal members of the minority bloc. Their return to the floor is expected to have significant implications for the ongoing race to fill the Speaker’s seat. With the House divided along political lines, the re-entry of these lawmakers is seen as a key factor that could shift the balance of power.
Representative Kolubah, who has been a fierce critic of the current administration, was among the most prominent figures affected by the suspension. His reinstatement has already sparked a flurry of discussions within political circles, with many speculating on how his influence could shape the Speakership vote.
