Monrovia, Liberia – Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) Secretary General Jefferson Koijee has extended congratulations to Honorable Musa Bility on his election as Chair of the Rule of Law Caucus in the Liberian House of Representatives. The caucus comprises 28 distinguished lawmakers committed to promoting justice and governance.
Koijee described Bility’s election as a testament to his leadership and dedication to upholding democratic principles in Liberia. “We wish him success in this critical role and pledge the CDC’s commitment to working with all stakeholders to strengthen the rule of law in our beloved country,” he stated.
However, Koijee issued a sharp rebuke of what he called unconstitutional actions within the Legislature. He urged CDC-affiliated lawmakers to boycott the upcoming State of the Nation Address, organized under the leadership of Hon. Richard Nagbe Koon, whom Koijee referred to as a “self-imposed Speaker.”
“Participating in such an illegitimate event would amount to endorsing treason against the state and a blatant violation of the Constitution,” Koijee warned.
He further called on the Supreme Court of Liberia to reject any engagement with Hon. Koon, emphasizing the need to safeguard the integrity of Liberia’s judiciary and democratic institutions.
Addressing the international community, particularly the United States Embassy near Monrovia, Koijee cautioned against supporting what he described as unconstitutional events linked to opposition leader Joseph Boakai. He claimed such participation would embolden illegalities and jeopardize Liberia’s peace and stability.
“Mr. Boakai’s deliberate and willful decision to commit treason against the state is tantamount to instigating fear and chaos among our people,” Koijee declared, reaffirming the CDC’s commitment to protecting the Constitution and upholding democratic order.
The CDC’s call for unity and adherence to the rule of law comes amid rising political tensions in the country, with critical national institutions and international stakeholders urged to play their roles in preserving Liberia’s hard-earned peace.
