Representative Yekeh Y. Kolubah has accused President Joseph Nyuma Boakai of bribing each lawmaker of the House of Representatives with a US$4,500 furniture coupon to remove House Speaker Cllr. J. Fonati Koffa from the position.

Monrovia —

According to Representative Kolubah, he received a telephone call from the defeated candidate for the speakership position of the ruling Unity Party and Representative of Montserrado County Electoral District #11, Richard Nagbe Koon, to collect his coupon. Representative Kolubah stressed that although the Liberian Leader still cries out that the government has no money, he is equally eager to remove Speaker Koffa, and he does not want to see the Speaker at all so he is dishing out bribes among members of the House of Representatives.

The lawmaker maintained that the Liberian Leader intends to keep the Koon Bloc together to remove Speaker Koffa on grounds that he does not like the arrowhead of the legislature due to his political affiliation.There was a problem processing your submission.
