Yekeh Expresses Willingness To Apologize In Plenary; As Court Halts Expulsion Proceeding

Embattled Montserrado County’s district #10 Representative, Yekeh Kolubah, has bowed to the pressure of his expulsion proceedings and reluctantly expressed willingness to apologize and retract his earlier statement if the plenary of the House of Representatives decides that he should do so, though he said he maintains that he did nothing wrong.

? ?Kolubah made the statement during a press conference at his Old Road office on Thursday. ?

According to the lawmaker, he is prepared to withdraw his earlier comment that the disputed land in Foya belongs to Guinea and that Guineans should take their land.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has issued a stay order on all proceedings and/or actions in the matter regarding the Yekeh’s expulsion following a formal complaint issued by his lawyers, who prayed for a writ of prohibition on the process.

The stay order referenced Representative Kolubah as the petitioner and the House of Representatives, by and thru Speaker Richard Koon, Deputy Speaker Thomas Fallah, Chief Clerk and Sergeant-at-Arm of the Legislature and all those under their control as respondents.

In the stay order, the Supreme Court cited the petitioner and the respondents to a conference with His Honor Yussif D. Kaba, Associate Justice presiding in Chambers, on Monday, April 20, 2026, at 2:30 p.m.

The stay order reads, “By directive of His Honor Yussif D. Kaba, Associate Justice presiding in Chambers, you are hereby cited to a conference with His Honor on Monday, April 20, 2026, at the hour of 2:30 p.m., in connection with the above captioned case.

“Meanwhile, you are ordered to stay all further proceedings and/or actions in the matter pending the outcome of the conference.”

It can be recalled that the House of Representatives Committee on Rules, Order and Administration closed public hearings into complaints filed against Representative Kolubah on Wednesday, April 15, 2026 after the committee earlier granted Representative Kolubah a two-day extension to secure legal representation.

His legal team from TOUN-YA LEGAL CHAMBERS, LLC, led by Cllr. Kabineh M. Ja’neh, appeared alongside Cllr. Jonathan T. Massaquoi and Cllr. Moriah Yeakula-Korkpor and formally access to evidence and additional time to prepare their defense.

However, the committee declined the request, citing House procedures which states that witnesses must personally respond to questions, while lawyers serve only in an advisory role unless granted permission to speak.

During the hearing, the Inspector General of Police, Col. Gregory Coleman, who had earlier filed a communication against the district 10 lawmaker, was discharged from providing oral testimony.

The committee instead relied on the complaint filed by Montserrado County’s district #3 Representative, Sumo Mulbah.

Immediately thereafter, Representative Kolubah’s legal representatives sought permission to address the committee on his behalf. The request was denied in keeping with legislative procedures, prompting Representative Kolubah and his legal team to exit the hearing room.

Representative Mulbah subsequently presented allegations that Representative Kolubah made statements undermining Liberia’s territorial integrity in relation to the Liberia–Guinea border dispute.

Following cross-examinations and review of available submissions, the committee formally closed the public hearing and announced that it will now compile its findings for submission to plenary during the on-going extraordinary session. However, on Thursday, April 16, 2026, the Supreme Court issued the stay order on all proceedings and/or actions in the matter pending its Monday conference.
