Montserrado County District 10 Rep. Yekeh Kolubah
Montserrado County District #10 Representative, Yekeh Kolubah, has fallen into the trap of his adversaries after skipping the first time through a ruling by the Supreme Court.
Representative Kolubah came under a two-month suspension yesterday when he admitted insulting the President of the Republic and begged for pardon. He is to forfeit salary and benefits over the two months period.
The decision, taken firstly by the committee on Rules and Order, was overwhelmingly voted for and Rep. Kolubah came under suspension. It is not clear yet what will be his next step as the Supreme Court had earlier ruled in the same matter.

Reopens dying probe
The worsening relationship between the House of Representatives and APM Terminals has escalated further as the latter renew its investigation on the former operation in the country.
The tension, which has been on the low lately, has soared in recent days since APM Terminals out of surprise announced a 9.67 percent increment on all current charges of its services at the Free Port of Monrovia. In defense of its moves, the company said it violates no law and that the increment was necessary to raise more revenue to enhance its operations and equipment with more than US$3.3 million in 2021.
