MONROVIA – The Citizens Movement for Change of Nimba County Representative Musa Bility says President Boakai’s late Thursday evening response to the Supreme Court ruling into the Bill of Information is not just a deviation from legal and democratic norms—it is a deliberate act of defiance against the highest court in the land.
“There is no provision in the Liberian Constitution that grants the President the authority to redefine judicial rulings or to create new constitutional interpretations to justify political expediency. This moment is grave. Liberia stands at a crossroads between constitutional order and creeping authoritarianism.”
The CMC in a sharp response to the President address, said The President’s actions are an affront to the doctrine of separation of powers, a betrayal of the oath he swore to uphold, and a dangerous signal to those who believe in the supremacy of law over men.
According to the CMC of Musa Bility, the President’s primary duty is to uphold, defend, and abide by the Constitution—not to subvert it when it becomes inconvenient.
The opposition party then call o the all well-meaning Liberians civil society organizations, religious and traditional leaders, political stakeholders, and Liberia’s international partners to reject the president submission.
“The CMC calls on all well-meaning Liberians, civil society organizations, religious and traditional leaders, political stakeholders, and our international partners to reject this dangerous posture and urge the President to respect the Supreme Court’s ruling and recognize the authority of the Speaker as duly affirmed by the Court.”
“We are indeed in a trying time. But the resolve of the Liberian people is firm. The CMC will not waver in its commitment to democratic governance and constitutional order. We will not allow anyone—no matter their title or status—to plunge this country into chaos or lawlessness. We are watching. And we stand with the Constitution.”
