MONROVIA – Firebrand Montserrado County District #10 Representative Yekeh Kolubah is calling for peace and national reconciliation, saying Liberians must put aside their differences and work together.
In a message to Liberians, Kolubah said the country's continued division, even years after the end of the civil war, is holding Liberia back from real progress.
"My fellow Liberians, there is nothing wrong with reconciliation. For too long, we have allowed our differences to divide us, even years after the civil war. This continued division is one of the reasons our country remains where it is today," he said.
The lawmaker noted that development in key areas such as healthcare, roads, infrastructure and education can only happen when Liberians are united.
"If Liberia is to make meaningful progress in healthcare, road connectivity, infrastructure, education, and other critical areas, we must be willing to put our differences aside, engage in honest dialogue, and work together for the common good," Kolubah stated.
He clarified that his call for reconciliation is not about compromising principles, but about choosing national interest over political division.
"Reconciliation does not mean forgetting our differences or abandoning our principles. It means choosing peace, dialogue, and national development over division," he explained.
Kolubah further announced that on Sunday, he will give more details on his decision and present his roadmap on how national healing can happen.
According to him, what Liberia needs now is unity, dialogue and a shared vision for a better future.
His statement comes at a time when there are widespread rumors in Monrovia about a possible reconciliation between him and President Joseph Boakai.
