The Rule of Law Caucus in Liberia has boycotted the Majority Bloc’s reconciliation meeting, labeling it insincere. Spokesperson Dixon Seboe indicated that the meeting aims to obscure the unjust suspension of a member for expressing his views. Seboe criticized the Majority Bloc’s intent and noted the caucus’s condemnation of this suspension as unconstitutional, amid ongoing governance concerns in the House of Representatives.
The Rule of Law Caucus in Liberia has publicly declared its decision to boycott the Majority Bloc’s proposed reconciliation meeting, citing it as insincere. Spokesperson Dixon Seboe from District 16 in Montserrado County accused the Majority Bloc of attempting to conceal the arbitrary suspension of a caucus member who had merely expressed his views, thereby impinging on freedom of speech.
In an interview on Bana FM, Seboe expressed that the actions of the Majority Bloc do not reflect genuine reconciliatory motives, rendering the meeting irrelevant for the Rule of Law Caucus. He also mentioned the caucus’s anticipation of an interpretation from the Supreme Court regarding the Bill of Information scheduled for March 14, seeking clarity in the ruling.
Seboe raised concerns about Representative Ellen Attoh-Wreh’s participation in the meeting, pointing out that she is currently attending an International Women’s Day conference in the United States. This situation has further fueled the caucus’s condemnation of the Majority Bloc’s suspension of Representative Yekeh Kolubah, which they have declared illegal and unconstitutional.
The Rule of Law Caucus has consistently opposed the Majority Bloc’s unilateral actions, having previously withdrawn from sessions led by Speaker Richard Nagbe Koon. They are advocating for respect towards the rulings of the Supreme Court to safeguard Liberia’s democratic values. The prevailing leadership crisis within the House of Representatives continues to provoke discussions surrounding governance and the rule of law in Liberia.
The Rule of Law Caucus’s boycott of the Majority Bloc’s reconciliation meeting underscores significant concerns regarding freedom of expression and respect for democratic processes in Liberia. Their stance against the Majority Bloc’s recent actions, including the suspension of Representative Yekeh Kolubah, highlights ongoing tensions within the governance framework. The caucus’s expectation of a definitive Supreme Court ruling further emphasizes the need for adherence to legal principles to maintain stability in the nation’s governance.
