MONROVIA – Montserrado County Electoral District #2 Representative and Chair on Executive at the House of Representatives, Sekou Kanneh, has denied allegations that he held meetings with President Joseph Boakai and Chief Justice Yamie Quiqui Gbiesay regarding the expulsion of former District #10 Representative Yekeh Kolubah, terming the claims misleading and without factual basis.
Speaking to legislative reporters on Monday, April 20, 2026, at his Capitol Building office, Rep. Kanneh said he has not met with either the President or the Chief Justice in the last four months and has at no time engaged in the discussions alleged by Yekeh Kolubah during a live interview on Sunday.
The Montserrado County lawmaker explained, stating: “He claimed that there was a meeting held with the President, and after the meeting I called him, Yekeh Kolubah, and told him that the President said the communication was never received.
“The first thing is that Honourable Kolubah, whom I sat in Chambers with for three years, does not even know the district I represent. If you listen to his podcast, he said I represent the people of District #3, Montserrado County, instead of District #2,” Rep. Kanneh said.
“Yekeh Kolubah is someone who has always made such claims, and that is something he cannot substantiate,” Rep. Kanneh added.
“The burden of proof rests squarely on the accuser,” Kanneh said. “These repeated unsubstantiated claims are misleading to the public.”
Rep. Kanneh further noted that he was out of Liberia from January 19, 2026, to March 8, 2026, for personal reasons, a period he said makes the alleged meetings impossible.
He added that his public response was necessary to uphold integrity and respect for the judiciary and to prevent the spread of misinformation.
Former Representative Kolubah, who was expelled from the House of Representatives, had claimed during his Sunday podcast that Kanneh met with both President Boakai and Chief Justice Gbiesay regarding his removal.
