The Majority bloc in the House of Representatives has voted to remove Representative Dixon Seboe and Representative Ellen Attoh Wreh as Chair and Co-Chair of the powerful Ways, Means, Finance, and Budget Committee.
The decision doesn’t stop there. The bloc has also issued a directive to the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank of Liberia, and all commercial banks, instructing them not to conduct any business with the two lawmakers on behalf of the House of Representatives.
This unexpected move has left many wondering what could have prompted such a decisive action against two key figures in the House’s financial oversight.
The Ways, Means, Finance, and Budget Committee plays a crucial role in shaping Liberia’s fiscal policies and ensuring the proper allocation of national resources. Losing their leadership positions not only sidelines Reps. Seboe and Wreh but also signals potential fractures within the House’s financial decision-making process.
As debates over the 2025 Draft National Budget loom, this shake-up raises critical questions: What does this mean for the budget process? And how will it impact relationships between the House, the Executive, and financial institutions?
While details remain scarce, this development underscores the high-stakes nature of political maneuvering within the legislature.
