Monrovia , Liberia: — In a scathing rebuke of the current administration, exiled Liberian Trokon Dorbor, a strong supporter of the Unity Party (UP), has publicly hit out at the leadership of the Liberian Legislature over the expulsion of Montserrado County District #10 Representative Yekeh Y. Kolubah. Dorbor characterized the move as a desperate attempt by the governing UP-led government of President Joseph Nyuma Boakai to “silence critical voices.”
In a sharp and adamant response to friends in and out of Liberia, Dorbor made it clear that his allegiance to the state supersedes any party mandate. Addressing critics and fellow UP partisans who have reportedly flooded his inbox with pleas for “party unity,” Dorbor asserted his independence, citing his personal investment in the very tools he uses to dissent.
“My loyalty belongs to my country, not a failed political system,” Dorbor wrote on his Facebook page. “This phone I paid $1,643 USD… I didn’t ask any government official to contribute to enable me to buy my phone. So, I am at liberty to post whatever and support whoever. I owe no politician loyalty.”
Dorbor believes the expulsion of the outspoken Montserrado County District #10 lawmaker appears to be a calculated move aimed at silencing critics of the administration. He did not mince words regarding the President’s performance, describing it as “far below the belt” and accusing the administration of sliding into authoritarianism.
The exiled Liberian labeled President Boakai a “complete dictator,” alleging that the mission of the current executive is to suppress anyone who opposes the official narrative. He further targeted the leadership of the House of Representatives, referring to the Speaker as a “rubber stamp” for the executive branch.
Dorbor went on to hail the expelled Montserrado lawmaker as he doubled down on his support for Kolubah, calling him a “true patriot” and a “hero” for his role in bringing the current government to power—only to be cast out.
“Hon. Yekeh, I salute you with my two hands, sir,” Dorbor declared, pledging his support for Kolubah in any future election. To signal the seriousness of his endorsement, Dorbor even committed a “10-gallon petrol” contribution to the lawmaker’s cause.
Dorbor’s support comes days after the former Montserrado County District #10 lawmaker held a major press conference in Monrovia, calling on his supporters to begin sending contributions toward his planned county tour.
The Supreme Court earlier last week placed an injunction on the expulsion of Kolubah, however, 49 lawmakers from the House of Representatives signed a resolution on Friday, April 17, 2026, to expel the Montserrado County District #10 Representative over remarks he made about the Guinea-Liberia border.
Kolubah’s expulsion has since stirred mixed reactions, with his supporters terming the move as a crackdown on free speech.
