Condemnation of Disruptions at the Capitol Building and Alleged Corruption involving Speaker’s Removal

Monrovia, Liberia – October 18, 2024 – The recent disruptions at the Capitol Building have cast a shadow over the democratic processes that form the bedrock of our governance. As a nation, we stand at a critical juncture where the integrity of our democratic institutions must be upheld with unwavering commitment. It is with profound concern that we address the allegations of bribery and inducements, specifically the disturbing reports of US$15,000 exchange, which have surfaced in the media to remove the Speaker, Hon. Fonati Koffa.

While it is the prerogative of the House of Representatives to elect its own leaders, this sacred exercise must be conducted with transparency, integrity, and respect for the rule of law. The very notion that such a process could be tainted by corruption is sickening to the core and speaks volumes about the challenges we face in eradicating corruption from our political landscape. We are concerned that one of our Partisans, is alleged to be a part of such fiasco and assures the public that his actions were without the approbation of the Alternative National Congress (ANC) and as such, will be subjected to our internal scrutiny. We also applaud the stance of our lawmakers, along with others for resisting the temptation of bribery and withdrawing their signatures.

Corruption is a cancer that eats away at the fabric of our society, undermining trust, eroding public confidence, and stifling progress. It is a scourge that not only affects Liberia but has far-reaching implications for the global community, including the taxpayers of the United States, and other Nations of the World who support our development efforts. It is imperative that we, as a country, take a firm stand against such malfeasance.

It is important to note that public officials MUST account for funds alloted them from taxes paid by ordinary Lib
