Montserrado County District #10 Representative Yekeh Kolubah has publicly voiced concern over what he believes could be obstacles in the process of renewing his diplomatic passport, raising fresh questions about administrative procedures surrounding official government travel documents in Liberia.
According to Representative Kolubah, he visited the Capitol Building on Tuesday morning following instructions from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to secure an attestation letter from the Office of the Chief Clerk — a requirement reportedly needed to complete the renewal of his diplomatic passport.
The outspoken lawmaker suggested that he was prepared for possible difficulties in obtaining the document, but emphasized that he would remain calm regardless of the outcome.
“I will not fight if I am denied my right because these are things we already expected,” Kolubah stated publicly, hinting at concerns over what he perceives as potential resistance within the process.
While the District #10 Representative stopped short of confirming whether he had officially been denied the attestation letter, his statement has sparked public discussion over transparency and equal treatment in the handling of diplomatic documents for elected officials.
In Liberia, diplomatic passports are typically issued to senior government officials and individuals traveling on official state assignments. The process generally requires verification and approval through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs alongside supporting documentation from relevant state institutions.
As of the time of publication, neither the Ministry of Foreign Affairs nor officials at the Capitol Building had publicly responded to Representative Kolubah’s concerns regarding the renewal process.
Political observers say the situation could further intensify debate around institutional accountability and administrative fairness within government operations.
