Lawmakers: House of Representative warns Executive

…..to avoid taking side

CAPITOL HILL–The House of Representatives has informed the Executive Branch of Government, headed by President Joseph N. Boakai   to avoid proceeding that would be seen as taking side.

In a press statement issued on Wednesday from the Speaker’s office,  J. Fonati Koffa said: “the leadership of the house of Representatives has expressed deep disappointment over the presence of Executive officers at a recent meeting held by absentee lawmakers.”

The statement added; “as a coordinating branch of government, the Executive Branch of Government must avoid action that could be perceived as taking sides as budding constitutional crisis which is far more consequential than a mere schoolyard dispute.”

On Tuesday, November 12, 2024, three government officials; Ministers of Transport, Ralph Tyler, Internal Affairs, Francis Nyumalin and Mohammed Ali, managing Director, Water and Sewer appeared before the anti-Speaker bloc for inquiries.

The release said, it is essential  to act decisively  in upholding our constitutional democracy and the rule  of law.

“We continue to urge our colleagues to resolve this crisis by returning to session and following the grievance procedures as outlined in the House Rules and constitution of Liberia.

“Additionally, we reiterate our appeal to the executive branch to refrain from providing any form of support or encouragement to actions that contravene the constitution as such actions could ultimately endanger the stability of our country. Liberia is our shared heritage and responsibility.”

    My question are if the speaker were in the situation of the president, what would he have done? And if the speaker wants for the president to be in business with him, what significant difference will he make as he does not have the majority of his colleagues under his authority that can make him function as a speaker?
    The speaker need to look at the two sides of the coin. I personally is not in support of those other representatives (majority bloc) in the form and manner they are proceeding about the speaker removal. But again the president is embarrassed because he (the president) want his government to succeed. If the president submit the draft budget today the speaker will speaker discuss the budget? The answer is no because he does not have the majority under him to do the Liberian people business my people your.
    Your stop giving us (the Liberians) people hard time in this country meh this is in my own Liberian way
