POLITICAL TURMOIL IN LIBERIA: BOAKAI’S SECRETIVE MOVES AGAINST SPEAKER KOFFA

Date:

MONROVIA – Liberia is on the brink of political unrest as factions from both sides of the aisle engage in a power struggle. Reliable sources indicate that President Joseph Boakai is allegedly working behind the scenes to replace House Speaker Cllr. Fonati Koffa. Reports suggest that Boakai has been collaborating with lawmakers from both the ruling party and George Weah’s Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) in an effort to gather signatures aimed at ousting the Speaker. This assertion has been denied in the past, especially when pictures of Boakai and Koffa meeting together were shown. Nevertheless, information suggests that plans to remove Speaker Koffa are still in motion.

Insiders claim that the government has already secured several signatures and is only eight away from achieving their goal. Meanwhile, there are also indications of political maneuvering aimed at impeaching President Boakai himself. Sources reveal that an impeachment bill is reportedly being drafted by members of the opposition CDC and other lawmakers, set to be introduced in the legislature.

One lawmaker, who spoke under the condition of anonymity, confirmed the ongoing efforts to remove Speaker Koffa and indicated a willingness to support the impeachment of President Boakai as well. These insiders assert that Boakai’s actions over the past six months have jeopardized the fragile state of the nation and violated numerous legal tenets.

As political tensions rise, the situation in Liberia remains precarious, with both sides poised for a potential clash that could have significant implications for the country’s stability.
