"TO GOD ALONE BE ALL THE GLORY
OFFICIAL STATEMENT
By Rep Frank Saah Foko Jr.,
Representative, Montserrado County Electoral District #9
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 6, 2025
Monrovia, Liberia
Today, I had the solemn duty of appearing before the Liberian National Police (LNP) in connection with the ongoing investigation into the tragic fire that engulfed parts of the historic Capitol Building in Monrovia a place that stands not only as the seat of our democracy but also as a symbol of our nation’s resilience and sovereignty.
Let it be known that the meeting with the investigators was conducted in a respectful, transparent, and professional atmosphere. I welcomed the opportunity to fully cooperate, as I have nothing to hide and have always held myself to the highest standards of public service and personal accountability.
I am relieved and grateful to inform the public that, following today’s engagement, I have been cleared of all allegations or insinuations linking me to this heinous act. The police found no evidence implicating my name, my office, or any of my associates in this matter. I thank God Almighty for His divine vindication, and I reaffirm my commitment to justice, the rule of law, and the preservation of our democratic institutions.
The past few weeks have not been easy. To be falsely associated with the destruction of a sacred national site is not only painful it is deeply unjust. Yet, in the midst of this storm, I found strength in the prayers, solidarity, and unwavering support of so many.
To my beloved constituents in District #9, I thank you for your trust and patience. To my family, your love carried me through. To my Church, your spiritual covering kept me grounded. And to the countless Liberians, friends, colleagues, and strangers alike who stood by me in word and deed, I say thank you from the depths of my heart.
Let this moment serve as a reminder to all that truth, though sometimes delayed, ultimately triumphs. As I return to the people’s business, I do so with renewed energy, a clear conscience, and a firmer resolve to defend the values that bind us together as one people under God.
As we await the final outcome of this sensitive investigation, I call upon the Government of Liberia and our law enforcement authorities to ensure that all other colleagues of the Legislature still being held in connection with this matter including the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, HonCllr J Fonati Koffa are treated with the full respect and dignity afforded to them under the Constitution of Liberia.
There must be no witch-hunt, no political scapegoating, and no attempt to weaponize justice for partisan or personal gains. Upholding the rule of law demands impartiality and fairness, even when emotions run high. Every accused person deserves due process, and no official past or present should be made a victim of circumstance without evidence and without a fair hearing.
May God bless the Republic of Liberia and all who labor for her peace and prosperity"

Hon. Frank Saah Foko, Jr.
