-Replaces Seboe, Cole, and others
from key committees
By Jerromie S. Walters
The “Majority Bloc” of the House of Representatives has initiated a restructuring of the House of Representatives’ leadership, with major replacements on key committees. On Tuesday, November 19, 2024, the bloc removed Representative Dixon Seboe from his position as Chairman of the House Committee on Ways, Means, Finance, and Budget, along with Margibi County Representative Ellen Attoh Wreh, who served as Co-Chair.
Taking over as acting chairman of the committee is Representative P. Mike Jury from Maryland County. In addition, Bong County District #3 Representative Marvin Cole has been ousted from his role as Chairman of the Rules, Order, and Administration Committee.
He will be succeeded by Representative James Kolleh, who has been appointed as the acting chairman. The restructuring has also affected other committees including the Committee on Public Accounts.
Meanwhile, the self-styled “Majority Bloc” has urged the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank, and all commercial banks to refrain from conducting any business on behalf of the House of Representatives.
This restructuring comes as one of the many surprises that have occurred on Capital Hill today as the bloc previously suspended three lawmakers while an additional two lawmakers joined them.
