Good day to all our supporters and the Police IG
“To the Minister who r**e his little daughter, please turn yourself over to implement the direct mandate of the laws that consider r**e a felony crime for all public servants.
Additionally, the Police IG (A professional and good man) should, during the enforcement proceedings, have the Minister in question in custody due to a first-degree felony.
We are watching to see the transparency from the Liberia National Police in the next 24 hours. We also love to compliment the president of this country for taking the first step to fire such an inhumane individual. Nevertheless, the government that acts fast is a government of the people.
There's a clear reason why the police should arrest the Deputy Minister accused of r**e now: r**e is a serious crime, and no one, regardless of their position, is above the law. The police are required to investigate all credible allegations of criminal activity and, if there's enough evidence, to arrest and charge suspects.
The National Code of Conduct is important for ethical governance, but it typically serves as a civil or administrative framework. Crimes like r**e fall under criminal law, which the police and judiciary enforce.
The police's job is to uphold the law impartially, ensuring justice is served and that crime victims get protection and recourse. Failing to act against a public official accused of such a crime would weaken the rule of law, damage public trust in institutions, and potentially allow impunity to continue.
Some public views suggest that it is not the legislature's role to lobby and negotiate outside in such cases. However, the legislature and law enforcement have distinct roles, designed to maintain a system of checks and balances.
As lawmakers, our primary function is to implement public policy in line with our duties. We shouldn't directly intervene in criminal investigations or lobby and negotiate outside regarding criminal charges. Instead, our main responsibilities include lawmaking, overseeing the executive branch, and representing the interests of the Liberian people.
We can, however, initiate investigations into government misconduct or impeach officials for serious offenses. I am requesting the police IG under this school of thought of public policy to do the needful now.
Not all 73 lawmakers must speak before an action is taken, but a constituent can through their lawmaker.
Finally, I am so frustrated with how some Liberians are behaving. This is the same reason I opposed the National Identification process, as outlined by the Agency Director during our hearing, due to the cloud interface approach. No security feature or system they introduced could protect our citizens' personal data.
With that in mind, I'm warning all Hon. Sumo Kollie Mulbah supporters of District # 3, Montserrado County, that some individuals are using our profile picture to create fake accounts and defame our character. I want to let them know that nothing will stop me from promoting the government when they're doing well. I'll also speak out against the government when it's not in the people's interest.
There's no page of me on Facebook with the title "Hon Sumo Kollie Mulbah" or "Honorable." I have only one Facebook account under my full name, Mr. Sumo K. Mulbah. Please don’t make any transactions or deal with these fake accounts. There are three fake accounts on Facebook pretending to be me. I've reported them, but they keep creating new ones.
It's really frustrating to have nonstop debates with civil society groups about Liberia's local government law, mainly driven by their own self-interest. Yet, their voices often fall on deaf ears in cases of wasteful spending and r**e cases.
As we all work together to build a better Liberia, thanks to the president's efforts, it's crucial that government officials are honest, transparent, and people of integrity in both their actions and thoughts.
As legislators, when civil society groups refuse to speak out against the ills of society, we're the ones who should step up as deputies. We have a responsibility to speak out.
Sumo K. Mulbah, District # 3 Lawmaker
