A young scholar studying Public Administration at the University of Liberia Ephesian Maoh Tailey writes:
"Nothing has changed. After expending taxpayers’ money to remove Hon. Kolubah, we are still witnessing reports of Guinean military forces stationed on the very portion of land he raised concerns about—an issue for which his colleagues took what many consider an immature and disproportionate action against him.
Liberians continue to wait for clear, substantive communication from the government, an administration entrusted with our hopes, trust, voices, and constitutional rights. Unfortunately, that level of leadership and transparency has not been sufficiently demonstrated.
The central questions remain:
Why are Guinean military forces still present on what is believed to be Liberian territory?
Why has the government, under Mr. Boakai, not provided detailed and timely information regarding this matter?
What was the primary objective of the President’s visit to Guinea? Was it to resolve the situation in the interest of Liberia, or to enter into agreements that may not be beneficial to the country?
These concerns continue to weigh heavily on the minds of many Liberians.
At the same time, the government must distinguish between “urgent issues” and “important issues.” While both categories matter, urgent issues demand immediate attention and decisive action.
The statement made by Hon. Kolubah, whether controversial or not, did not in itself threaten national stability or prevent the government from addressing the pressing “bread and butter” challenges facing ordinary Liberians.
His expulsion has not resolved the underlying issue. If anything, it has raised further questions about priorities. The Guinean military presence reportedly persists, so what, in practical terms, has changed? The answer, for many citizens, appears to be: nothing.
Liberians deserve responsive leadership. leadership that prioritizes national sovereignty, economic well-being, and transparent governance. Addressing concerns raised by citizens should not be seen as a threat, but as an opportunity to strengthen democracy and public trust."
