Former Rep. Candidate Solomon Y.W. Watkins has lambasted Montserrado County Rep. Yekeh Kolubah... Says Rep. Yekeh Kolubah Has Failed the People.

Monrovia, February 24, 2025: Former candidate for the Montserrado District #:10 legislative seat (2023 Elections), Solomon Y.W. Watkins has termed as growing disappointment the performance of their current Representative, Yekeh Kolubah.

According to him, Rep. Kolunah's tenure has been marred by chaos, insults, and misplaced priorities, leaving District 10 without any tangible development to boast of.

"Since his re-election, Representative Kolubah has abandoned the district, choosing instead to engage in a relentless campaign of insults directed at President Joseph Boakai, his colleagues, and even members of the public. His obsession with political fights and desperate efforts to maintain his preferred Speaker in power have done absolutely nothing to improve the lives of our people. Instead of focusing on his core responsibilities of oversight, representation, and lawmaking, he has chosen the path of noise-making and personal attacks, further deepening the neglect of our district," the District 10 former Candidate lamented on Tuesday, February 24, 2025 while speaking to journalists in Monrovia.

He further pointed out that the entire of District 10 continues to suffer great development setback, noting that "We lack access to clean water, proper sanitation, healthcare services, youth empowerment programs, and meaningful development initiatives. Roads are deteriorating, and essential services remain inadequate. Vast majority of our growing population are slum dwellers and are living below the two dollars per day poverty threshold while there is an increasing level of disadvantage youths (‘Zogos’) and underprivileged population in Montesrrado County Electoral District # 10. The Representative, who should be at the forefront of advocating for these critical needs, has instead relocated out of the district and embarked on an unending spree of insults and controversy. This is not the leadership District 10 deserves. It is an outright failure and a disappointment to our people," Watkins who is the founder of a prodemocracy organization, the Watkins Initiative of Nations (WIN) intoned.

"The chicanery and desperation for re-election, marked by empty noise, must stop. District 10 deserves a leader who is accessible, accountable, and focused on development, not one who prioritizes political theatrics over progress.

"I urge Representative Kolubah to rethink his approach and start acting like a responsible lawmaker – to take change of the responsibilities of the people of District #:10 - and represent the district among his colleagues’ lawmakers. If he cannot realign his focus to serve the interests of the people, then he should step aside and allow real leadership to take charge," Former Candidate Watkins noted.

Walk by faith, not only by sight

Walking by faith, not only by sight is a saying use in religious cycle (2 Cor. 5:6-8), which I intend to shine light on considering today’s practical life scenarios, especially among young people.
To live in our today's world, one must have to fully understand and be ready to do as the principals of life requires. One principal of life is walking by faith, not only by sight.

Walking by faith, not only by sight would mean fixing our eyes on what is unseen: We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Let me clarify that my thoughts may not be of biblical values as to the physical nature of the issues at hand.
In this scenario, faith would mean setting a goal for life; while sight would mean seeing life from the way things may look and not know how to achieve it.
Many people feel as if they're adrift in this world. They work hard, but they don't seem to get anywhere worthwhile. It’s just like what the bible said about not everyone who may say lord, lord will be accepted in Heaven. For one to occupy heaven as promised, it would be based on personal goal set just as it is with living in the today’s world.
Everyone must be able to set a SMART goal to achieve a particular thing – be it positive or negative.
The SMART in SMART goals stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. Defining these parameters as they pertain to your goal helps ensure that your objectives are attainable within a certain time frame.
You can’t be feeling adrift in this world. You now need to spent enough time thinking about what you want from life, and set for yourself formal or SMART goals. After all, would you like to set out on a major journey with no real idea of your destination? Probably not!

I've passed by to let you know that if you fail to set a personal goal, you will just be living and not achieving. Just as our quest to go to “Heaven” would require setting a goal, so it is with everyday life. Few questions will open your minds to goal setting. First, ask yourself several questions using the words: WHAT? WHY? WHEN? WHERE? and HOW?

Stop thinking that life is that simple. It’s not and wouldn’t be. You have to make up your bed in the way you will lay on it.

To give a broad, balanced coverage of some important areas in your life, try to set goals in some of the following categories (or in other categories of your own, where these are important to you):

Career – What level do you want to reach in your career, or what do you want to achieve?

Financial – How much do you want to earn, by what stage? How is this related to your career goals?

Education – Is there any knowledge you want to acquire in particular? What information and skills will you need to have in order to achieve other goals?

Family – Do you want to be a parent? If so, how are you going to be a good parent? How do you want to be seen by a partner or by members of your extended family?

If you need extra support in goal setting - be it personal, family, organizational / institutional goals, etc., kindly inbox me.

Watkins wins LPP’S Primary

Liberian Journalist turned politician, Solomon Watkins has secured the Liberian People’s Party’s representative seat for District #: 10 to politically battle incumbent Representative, Yekeh Kolubah.

Mr. Watkins emerged victorious to contest on the LPP’s ticket following a primary held on Tuesday, July 4, 2023 that brought together hundreds of supporters of the party.

The primary was conducted in compliance with the National Elections Commission rules and regulations.

Others who won unopposed on the LPP’s Ticket for Montserrado County were: Amara Fofona of District 12; Dr. Eric Gbarlen of District 4; Julius C. Clark of District 3; Alex S. Konah of District 5; Prince Kojo Davis of District 17, and Robert Teah of District 16.

As the face of the youthful population of Montserrado County Electoral District 10, Mr. Watkins, who won the LPP’s Primary unopposed, promised to defeat the incumbent representative with wide margin.

According to him, District 10 deserves a person with technical knowhow which he is to help the district and Liberia move forward in the areas of lawmaking, oversight and representation.

“It is time to make a radical change. We are part of this process because we are concern about our country’s growth and development which is not the case now. Currently, we have identified lot of lapses at both our district and national levels once it comes to governance and leadership, as well as ensuring that the right thing is being done at the right time for the people. For instance, our government used over 30 million United States Dollars in the last two years just to subside for rice importation in the country. Such money could have been used to invest in our soil but no one see this as a problem and is ready to help. It is no longer time to desire such change, rather to support us to help solve a problem of such nature,” Representative Aspirant Watkins noted.

LPP’s District #:10 representative aspirant is currently the Vision Bearer of the Watkins Initiative For Nations which is impacting the lives of thousands of Liberians residing in and out of District 10.

Watkins as a highly respected humanitarian, journalist now politician, with a background in human rights advocacy, who is campaigning on a platform of positive change, promising to prioritize the needs of the constituents and addressing key issues affecting the district’s development and growth.
Better education, healthcare, and infrastructure development are key while Mr. Watkins presented herself as a fresh face in politics, advocating for transparency, accountability, and inclusive representation as well as to restore the lost image of the district at the Liberian legislature when elected.
Earlier, LPP’s Montserrado County Chairman, George Tarr praised Aspirant Watkins for his outstanding developmental stance within District #10.

He noted that there were many personalities who are equally members of the LPP that expressed interest to have contested the primary but once they heard of the name Solomon Watkins, they disregarded their quest to have contested the primary.

Hon. Watkins won the seat on the LPP’s ticket unopposed because his colleagues viewed his presence like a motorbike meeting a truck in an accident, so they decided not to partake during the process which makes us feel that Hon. Watkins will win District #: 10 on LPP’s ticket.”
