Shortly after a high-level meeting with President Joseph Boakai, CMC Political Leader and Representative Musa Bility pledged his commitment to working with Speaker Richard Koon and the broader leadership of the House of Representatives. Bility stated that his cooperation will be guided by the best interests of the Liberian people, adding that he will continue to provide constructive criticism where necessary to ensure transparency and accountability.
“I am ready to work with Speaker Koon and the leadership of the House,” Bility said. “But where there is a need to speak truth to power, I will not hesitate. Our loyalty must be to the Liberian people.”
Also speaking at the event, Deputy Speaker Thomas Fallah—formerly of the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC)—acknowledged the recent tensions and divisions at Capitol Hill. He expressed optimism that the legislature can now move forward in unity to support the government’s development agenda.
“We recognize the impasse that has existed, but today marks a new beginning,” Fallah stated. “The House of Representatives stands ready to work with President Boakai and his administration to bring peace and development to Liberia.”
The lawmakers made these remarks during a strategic meeting between Members of the House of Representatives and President Boakai. The meeting, led by Vice President Jeremiah Koung and Speaker Richard Koon, aimed to build cohesion and collaboration within the legislature, ensuring a stable and effective governance structure moving forward.
The engagement is seen as part of President Boakai’s broader initiative to foster political reconciliation and unity across party lines for the betterment of the nation.
