Montserrado County’s Senator Abraham Darious Dillon has expressed frustration over what called unconventional suspension of the Montserrado District’s #10 Lawmaker Yekeh Kolubah.
Days after serving him an official communicating of suspension, Representative Yekeh Kolubah filed a lawsuit against the August Body of the House Representative, citing lack of due process in his suspension.
The Justice in Chambers of the Supreme Court of Liberia, associate Justice Joseph Nagbe called on both the House of Representative and Lawmaker Kolubah to a conference on Thursday 22, 2021.
Senator Dillon indicated that the CPP will take a political action if the Supreme Court of Liberia fails to address Representative Yekeh Kolubah’s issue in accordance with Liberian laws most especially the mother's law of the Land.
Abraham Darious Dillon maintained his previous statement on his page that CCP’s Lawmaker Kolubah has been illegally suspended in the House of Representative.
On Tuesday, April 12, this year the House of Representatives finally suspended Rep. Kolubah for what allegedly insulting President George M. Weah.
Montserrado County's District #5 Lawmaker, a member of the governing CDC and Chairman of the house's committee on ways, means and Finance, filed official complain to the plenary to look into the Lawmaker Kolubah unconfirmed insult to the President.
On March 25, during the 21st day sitting, plenary took a decision to suspend Representative Yekeh Kolubah in accordance with its 47.8 of the House's standing rule which gives the right to plenary to take such action against one of its members.
But, a motion of reconsideration was filed by Montserrado District #8 Representative Moses Acarous Gray, such motion delayed legislator Kolubah's suspension. Under the house's rule, a motion for reconsideration must be tried and tested after three working sessions, inclusive of the day of the filing of such motion.
However, the rule mandates the Movants of a motion for reconsideration must file a written communication to the office of the chief clerk challenging the suspension within the time allotted for the motion to be tried and tested on the floor. But Representative Gray, the movant in this case, failed to meet up with the set requirement for the motion of reconsideration.
In reaction against Senator Dillon's assertion, Representative Moses Acarous Gray revealed that the House of Representatives had suspended Kolubah in accordance with House’s Standing rule 47.8 C in the House.
He further reiterated his argument that Representative Kolubah remains suspended and not to be seen at the perimeter of the House of Representatives.
