“This Place is Not for Hooligans” -Pres. Boakai Cautions -Assures Nation of Swift, Impartial Investigation into Capitol Fire
MONROVIA – In the wake of the December 18, 2024 Capitol Building fire outbreak that left the House of Representatives Joint Chambers and other offices in flames, the President of Liberia, Joseph Nyuma Boakai, has assured the nation that his government will immediately launch a swift, thorough and impartial investigation, and that anyone found culpable will face the full weight of the law.
Speaking to journalists on the lawns of the Capitol Building when he visited the scene as firefighters battled the flames and the bellowing fumes within the edifice, President Boakai, in a rather somber mood, condemned the burning of the legislature’s edifice as a despicable, unpatriotic act.
“This despicable, unpatriotic act that has taken place here shows there is a lot of hate and wanton destruction that is going on in this country. But beginning with this, we are not going to tolerate this anymore. We are a poor country, people are trying to help us, and other people are bent on destroying this country,” the Liberian leader stated following a brief meeting he had with members of the National Legislature.
He further consoled the visibly distraught members of the Legislature and promised that never again will such wanton destruction happen under his watch.
“We just want to console the members of the first seat of this government that we are in sympathy with, but this destruction will have to stop. We are not going to allow this to happen in this country. For people who have problems, we have a way to remedy all the issues in this country.
“When you have a problem, we have the rule of law. We have everything in this place to be able to listen to you. But we are not going to accept this. We are asking the Minister of Justice, all the security apparatus, including our friends; we are investigating this to the law.
“People who are caught, we will deal with them. And we will set the tone for all other people who, when they get angry, burn down police stations. We are not going to allow this.
“We are not going to settle for this. This is not a place for hooligans. This is a place for responsible people who are here to serve the Liberian people. And I don’t care what they do, we will build this country for the interest of future generations,” President Boakai cautioned in an angry mood.
It can be recalled, the latest fire incident occurred following Tuesday’s bloody clashes between officers of the National Police and a group of protestors under the banner “Concerned Citizens for the Protection of Constitution, Democracy, and the Rule of Law” who had converged to demand an end to the political impasse at the Capitol Building.
