The House of Representatives has initiated a formal investigation into Montserrado County District 10 Representative Yekeh Kolubah following allegations that his recent public statements on the Liberia–Guinea border situation may have undermined national interest.
During its Thursday sitting, Plenary mandated the Committee on Rules, Order and Administration to conduct a thorough inquiry into the lawmaker’s conduct, with a directive to present its findings before the conclusion of the ongoing Special Session.
The decision stems from separate complaints filed by Bong County Representative Sumo Mulbah and Liberia National Police Inspector General Gregory Coleman. Both raised alarm over remarks attributed to Rep. Kolubah concerning the long-standing boundary dispute between Liberia and Guinea.
Inspector General Coleman cautioned that such statements could inflame tensions in already sensitive border communities, create confusion among residents, and potentially jeopardize national security as well as ongoing diplomatic engagements.
Members of the House have also expressed concern that the comments could weaken Liberia’s standing in efforts aimed at preserving peace and stability along the disputed frontier.
House Speaker Richard Nagbe Koon, meanwhile, has called on Rep. Kolubah to fully cooperate with the investigative process as the matter unfolds.
The controversy traces back to statements made by Rep. Kolubah shortly after his return from Ghana at the height of the border dispute. At the time, he reportedly asserted that the contested territory belongs to Guinea, adding that residents of Lofa County are aware of this claim.
His remarks have since triggered strong backlash within the legislature, with several lawmakers arguing that such assertions risk compromising Liberia’s territorial integrity and national unity.
