Monrovia – Embattled House Speaker Cllr. J. Fonati Koffa has disclosed he is in active consultations regarding his transition from leadership, following the Supreme Court’s definitive ruling on the legislative impasse.
In a statement released today via his official Facebook page, the Speaker revealed he is engaging stakeholders—including legislators from across the political spectrum—to determine the way forward. “I am actively engaging in consultations with stakeholders across the country, including my colleagues from all sides in the legislature, regarding my transition from the position and to determine the appropriate path forward.”
He emphasized his commitment to the rule of law while urging the public to disregard unverified claims circulating in the media. “I commit to keeping the public informed as these discussions progress. In the meantime, I urge all citizens to refrain from amplifying unsubstantiated claims that risk fostering unnecessary confusion or division.”
Koffa stressed that the Supreme Court’s decision had resolved the dispute, affirming: “I have always maintained that the laws of our nation must serve as the ultimate foundation for resolving disputes, including the current impasse within the legislature. The Supreme Court’s recent ruling has definitively resolved this matter, and I fully respect and uphold its decision.”
The Speaker referenced speculation about his position, stating: “I have become aware of statements circulating on social and other media platforms that make insinuations regarding my position as Speaker of the House of Representatives. While I am deeply touched by the outpouring of concern for my personal well-being and the integrity of the office I hold, I wish to address these matters with clarity and transparency.”
