Monrovia, Liberia – Jefferson Koijee, the former secretary general of the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), is urging the ruling Unity Party administration to punish him for crimes they allege he committed while the CDC was in disarray.
Speaking to journalists at the residence of Yekeh Kolubah, the representative for Montserrado County District Ten, after an alleged attack by an unidentified person on the legislator’s property, Koijee stated that the basis for his advocacy is the claims made by members of the Unity Party during his opposition that he was responsible for the unexplained deaths of citizens in the nation.
The former CDC Secretary General Jefferson Koijee has refuted every accusation made against him during the organization’s six-year tenure without resorting to court.
Koijee claims that in order for the UP to obtain governmental power, members of the party spread hate speech and propaganda against the former.
He alleged that since assuming power, the Liberian government has not brought charges against any former officials they claimed to have been corrupted and implicated in violent crimes.
“If you say Koijee was a murder yesterday, why are you not prosecuting Koijee” ? “Where are the proofs if Koijee was a criminal, as you claim? “Where are the family members and the people that Koijee killed?” “Yesterday, they could not come forth, apparently, Koijee was too powerful; today, Koijee is an ordinary person; bring the evidence and prosecute Koijee” he said.
Koijee did concede, though, that in spite of President Weah’s attempts to combat corruption, there remained other vices that were signs of corruption and called for government action.
Saying that the Collaboration will guarantee that the government takes the necessary action, he declared that the CDC will support Representative Yekeh Kolubah in his opposition to the administration.
Representative Frank Saah Foko of Montserrado County District Nine and CDC Secretary General Jefferson Koijee paid Representative Yekeh Kolubah a visit at his residence on Monday, July 22, 2024, marking the first such visit in seven years.
