“I Turned Myself In to Uphold Justice” – Frank Saah Foko Speaks Out

In the wake of heightened public scrutiny and a formal request from the Liberia National Police (LNP), Montserrado County District 9 Representative Frank Saah Foko has voluntarily turned himself in for questioning. The move comes after the lawmaker was linked to a controversial statement made months ago, which has since been thrust into the spotlight following the Capitol Building fire.

In a heartfelt statement shared with the public, Rep. Foko expressed his respect for the rule of law and his commitment to the processes of justice. “As a law-abiding citizen, I respect the processes of the justice system and remain committed to ensuring that any inquiry or investigation is conducted in accordance with the law and due process,” he stated.

Commitment to Accountability

The Representative emphasized his dedication to maintaining peace and order in Liberia, reiterating that his actions as a public servant have always been guided by the welfare of the people. “Throughout my time in public service, I have always prioritized the safety and well-being of our citizens,” he said. “It is in this spirit that I am engaging with the LNP today, hoping to contribute in any way necessary to support their efforts in ensuring accountability and justice.”

While addressing the LNP’s inquiry, Rep. Foko expressed confidence in the institution’s ability to conduct a fair and impartial investigation. “I trust that the LNP, as an institution charged with upholding the rule of law, will carry out this investigation in a fair, independent, and impartial manner,” he added, urging that the process remain free from political interference.

A Call for Unity

Amid the ongoing controversy, Rep. Foko took a moment to address the broader implications of the situation. He reiterated his unwavering support for peace and stability in Liberia and called on all Liberians to remain focused on building a society rooted in justice and progress.

“Every Liberian deserves to live in a society where their safety is guaranteed, and the rule of law is upheld without exception,” he said.

Gratitude and Reflection

The lawmaker also expressed gratitude to the Liberian people, particularly his supporters, for standing by him during this challenging time. “I extend my gratitude to all Liberians who continue to support my efforts for a robust Legislature and engaging platform that many youths aspire for,” he said, emphasizing the importance of collective action in moving Liberia forward.

What’s Next?

As Rep. Foko cooperates with the LNP’s investigation, Liberians are left grappling with questions about the Capitol Building fire and the broader state of the nation’s democratic institutions. While the inquiry unfolds, his decision to engage with law enforcement sends a strong message about accountability and leadership in trying times.

In his own words: “Justice must prevail, and Liberia must remain on the path to peace, progress, and prosperity for all.”
