Bility Heads 28-Member Blocto Mediate House Impasse – Extends Majority Bloc Olive Branch; Vows to Restore Normalcy at HOR

MONROVIA – Nimba County District #7 Representative and close ally to embattled House Speaker Fonati Koffa says he is honored to be selected as head of a 28-member bloc in the House of Representatives, based on the recommendation of Speaker Fonati Koffa.

As head of the 28-Member Bloc, Representative Musa Hassan Bility has vowed to focus his energies on restoring normalcy to the House and ensuring that every representative can carry out their constitutional duty to represent their people effectively. In the same light, Representative Bility has extended an olive branch to his colleagues from the Majority Bloc, urging all members of the House of Representatives to soberly reflect on the current impasse and its impact on the people of Liberia.

Making the disclosure yesterday on his social media platform, Representative Bility said the decision, taken by his colleagues who chose to stand by the law, is a profound moment for him, his family, and district.

“I extend my heartfelt gratitude to my colleagues for trusting me to lead during this crucial time in our nation’s history.“The challenges before us as leaders of this country are immense, and the leadership of the House of Representatives is facing significant trials.

I am fully aware of the burden placed on me by this responsibility, and I embrace it with commitment and resolve. My focus will be to“I pledge to lead faithfully, to listen to my colleagues, and to work toward our collective goals and aspirations.

I am committed to upholding the rule of law and fostering a spirit of cooperation that prioritizes the needs of the Liberian people over individual interests.“To my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, I extend an olive branch. I urge all members to reflect soberly on our current impasse and its impact on the people we represent.

While it is true that we, the 28 members, have not been able to attain quorum to conduct regular legislative business, our colleagues, on the other hand, have also been unable to secure the requisite number of members needed to remove the Speaker or reconstitute committees legally.

These actions have been taken without fulfilling the proper legal requirements.“The inability of both blocks to legally function should serve as a catalyst to unite us. This inability has stalled legislative sessions, preventing both oversight and effective governance.

This should serve as a reminder that our division is our weakness. Let us turn this realization into strength by uniting to find common ground for the sake of our country.“I call on all members of the House to look beyond personal gains, ego, or power struggles and focus on the bigger picture: the people of Liberia. Our primary oversight responsibility has been the most significant casualty during this crisis.

The executive branch has operated without checks and balances for three months, leaving our people vulnerable. It is time to return to work, resolve our differences, and restore the integrity of this honorable body.“I also call on the President and the Executive to engage with sincerity. A crisis in one branch of government weakens the entire system.

The people of Liberia deserve a government that works in harmony to address their needs and move the country forward.“My colleagues have entrusted me with the task of ending this impasse. I pledge to work tirelessly to find a solution without compromising the rule of law. But I cannot do it alone. I ask for your cooperation, patriotism, and love for our country.

Let us restore democracy, normalcy, and the people’s confidence in their government. The people of Liberia are watching and waiting.

Let us not fail them. Thank you, and may we all work together to build a stronger, united Liberia,” Representative Bility implored optimistically.
