Monrovia – Members of the House of Representatives have voted to suspend Montserrado County District 10 Representative, Yekeh Kolubah, for thirty session days without salaries and benefits.
The decision was made during the House’s regular sitting, following a report from its Rules, Order, and Administration Committee.
