Representative Yekeh Kolubah District 10 in Montserrado County says he is withdrawing his membership from the opposition collaborating Political Parties (CPP) due to the group alleged failure to protect him.
At a press conference on Friday Representative Kolubah said he alone has been in the vanger of holding the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) accountable for wrong doing but the CPP seen not to be looking in the same direction.
“On many occasions, my life has been threatened and I informed CPP but nothing has come out of it. They always tell me to go to my party; the Alternative National Congress (ANC) first”, he told the media on Friday August 28, 2020.
According to him, he has his life to protect and cannot be part of an institution that fails to seek his welfare.
Representative Kolubah has vowed not to speak on any issue in the country until he announces his new political home.
He alluded the silence of the opposition to “weakness and greed” which is leaving the opposition community not to criticize the government of President George Weah to do the right thing.
“I will giving fighting for the Liberian people but for now I am withdrawing my membership from the CPP”, he adds.
Recently Representative Kolubah wrote Plenary of the House of Representatives and several foreign missions in Liberia to report an alleged attempted murder on him by his former security guards believed to have been hired by the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC).
In the communication written to the U.S. Embassy in Liberia, EU, and Plenary of the House of Representatives, Representative Kolubah claimed that Abu Keita led a team along with Eric Tamba, Teah Seequah and Paul Koon all former securities guards to his home to attack him with cutlasses.
Rep. Kolubah credited his rescue from the hands of his former security to residents of the district whom he said angrily ran after Abu Keita who led the attack who was subsequently arrested by his supporters and turned him over to the Liberia National Police unharmed.
He further expressed disappointment that Keita was released from police custody in less than 24 hours after being detained at the Zone 3 police station.
He alleged that Keita’s release was in obedience to an order from people in authority at the Executive branch of government. He, however, failed to mention specific names.
The lawmaker claimed that after Keita’s release, he bragged about being a supporter of the ruling CDC and that he has being awarded a job with the Liberia Drugs Enforcement Agency (LDEA) by the CDC government.
“This is not the first attack on my life since my ascendancy as Representative of Montserrado County District # 10. As a member of the House of Representative, I have written several communications to the Plenary, Ministry of Justice, foreign missions in Liberia but nothing has been done to this effect,” Rep. Kolubah lamented.
The Montserrado District # 10 Representative is of the belief that the fragile peace of Liberia is under threat by these unfolding attacks that is being executed by individuals who are claiming to be under the auspices of President George Weah and now is the time to intervene.
“We should not allow Liberia to retrogress to our dark past which is gradually creeping,” he stated.
Representative Yekeh Kolubah has been staunch critics of the government of Ex-soccer player George Manneh Weah since 2018.
