MONROVIA, Liberia — Montserrado County District #15 Representative Aspirant Rev. Philip Blamo has raised concerns over the priorities of Liberian lawmakers, drawing attention to the contrast between efforts to remove legislative leaders and the need to address national security concerns along the Liberia–Guinea border.
Blamo’s statement refers specifically to lawmakers and the removal of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, questioning whether political leadership disputes are receiving more attention than issues affecting the country’s territorial integrity and citizens’ welfare.
“You can remove Speakers anytime, but you cannot peacefully and diplomatically remove the Guinean Army from our border,” Blamo stated.
His remarks call for lawmakers to place citizens’ interests first and give greater attention to diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving border concerns.
The statement also raises a broader question about legislative priorities, urging public officials to focus on matters of national importance alongside internal leadership disputes.
Blamo’s comments emphasize the need for lawmakers to balance legislative leadership decisions with national security, diplomatic engagement, and the protection of citizens.
“Seek Citizens’ Interest First” remains the central message of his statement.
