Monrovia, Liberia — The Rule of Law Caucus in the House of Representatives has issued a strong rebuttal against widespread rumors suggesting secret negotiations between its members and the Majority Bloc. The Caucus labeled the claims as “entirely false and misleading,” emphasizing its unwavering commitment to awaiting the Supreme Court’s ruling on the pending legal matter.
Recent reports alleged that the Council of Chiefs and Elders (EDOs), operating under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was mediating discussions between the Rule of Law Caucus, House Speaker J. Fonati Koffa, and the Majority Bloc. However, in an official statement, the Caucus firmly denied any such negotiations, calling the rumors an attempt to distort public perception.
“At no point have the Speaker or any member of the Rule of Law Caucus engaged in discussions or negotiations with any group regarding the matter before the Supreme Court,” the statement read.
The Caucus reiterated that its stance remains grounded in legal principle rather than political maneuvering. “This case is not about individuals—it is about the sanctity of our laws, the authority of our institutions, and the future of our democracy,”! the statement emphasized.
With the Supreme Court set to rule on the contentious issue, the Caucus urged the public and political stakeholders to exercise patience and respect the judicial process.
Amid rising tensions, the Caucus cautioned against narratives that could undermine Liberia’s rule of law. “We call on all Liberians to remain calm, trust in the legal system, and reject any attempts to manipulate public opinion,” the statement concluded.
