Africa-Press – Liberia. MONROVIA, April 21, 2026 – Former Bong County District #3 Representative, Cllr. George Mulbah has raised concerns over the validity of a Supreme Court stay order in the case involving former Representative Yekeh Kolubah, arguing that improper service of the writ on the House of Representatives may undermine its legal effect.
Mulbah’s comments come amid ongoing controversy surrounding Kolubah’s attempted expulsion, with the former lawmaker contending that the court’s directive to halt proceedings cannot be enforced if the House was not properly brought under the court’s jurisdiction.
According to Mulbah, the stay order issued by the Supreme Court carries the full force of law and is intended to immediately suspend all actions, including any vote on expulsion, once it is duly served on the appropriate authority.
Drawing on his legislative experience, he explained that official court communications directed to the House must be received by the Chief Clerk or a duly designated deputy, in line with established administrative procedures.
He cited Chapter 3, Section 3.8 of Liberia’s Civil Procedure Law, which requires that legal documents be served directly on a party or its authorized agent for the court to properly establish jurisdiction.
However, Mulbah noted that his review of the return of the writ suggests the document was served on an individual described as a “computer boy,” who reportedly did not identify himself as a staff member within the Office of the Chief Clerk.
“In serving the writ on a computer boy, it means service was not properly made on the House,” Mulbah argued. “Therefore, the House was not brought under the jurisdiction of the court and could not be compelled to halt the expulsion proceedings.”
The development introduces a new legal dimension to the Kolubah matter, raising broader national questions about due process, adherence to judicial procedures, and the balance of power between the Legislature and the Judiciary in Liberia’s democratic framework.
