Weawea Condemns Kolubah Expulsion, Calls for Legislative Reform
The Executive Director of the Liberia National Heritage and Culture Development Association (LNHCDA), Solomon Weawea, is once again speaking out against the expulsion of Montserrado County District #10 Representative Yekeh Kolubah.
In a statement shared on social media, Weawea said the punishment handed down to Kolubah was excessive and failed to address the broader national debate surrounding the matter.
“We must focus on the primary issue at hand — the national debate. The expulsion of Yekeh Kolubah, an elected government official, is not a prudent decision. A less severe disciplinary measure would have been more suitable,” Weawea stated.
He acknowledged that Kolubah’s comments were inappropriate for a national leader but argued that they did not justify such a harsh penalty. According to him, the situation was comparable to “speaking out of turn,” noting that Kolubah would have been protected had the remarks been made during plenary proceedings.
Weawea also called on the Legislature to organize leadership workshops aimed at improving dialogue and strengthening cooperation among lawmakers. “We urge the Legislature to hold leadership workshops to brainstorm on issues, so individuals can learn from one another.
God bless Liberia,” he added.
Representative Kolubah was expelled earlier this year following controversial remarks linked to the Liberia-Guinea border issue.
The complaint against him was filed by Montserrado County District #3 Representative Sumo Mulbah and Liberia National Police Inspector General Gregory O. W. Coleman, who cited concerns over national security and public safety.
Kolubah had requested additional time to secure legal representation but was reportedly granted only two days. The Supreme Court later scheduled a conference with House leadership on April 20, 2026, to hear his petition for a writ of prohibition.
Prominent Liberian figures, including Senator Abraham Darius Dillon and former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, have also expressed concerns over the expulsion, arguing that the decision raises questions about due process and freedom of expression.
