The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Cllr. J. Fonati Koffa, has responded to allegations and insinuations regarding his position as Speaker, noting that the Supreme Court ruling has definitively resolved the matter, and that he fully respects and upholds its decision.
Speaker Koffa noted that he has always maintained that the laws of the nation must serve as the ultimate foundation for resolving disputes, including the current impasse within the Legislature.
Even though the Speaker outrightly rejected his resignation claim, he announced that he is actively engaging in consultations with stakeholders across the country, including his colleagues from all sides in the Legislature, regarding his transition from the position and to determine the appropriate path forward.
Speaker Koffa writes, “I have become aware of statements circulating on social and other media platforms that make insinuations regarding my position as Speaker of the House of Representatives. While I am deeply touched by the outpouring of concern for my personal well-being and the integrity of the office I hold, I wish to address these matters with clarity and transparency.
“I have always maintained that the laws of our nation must serve as the ultimate foundation for resolving disputes, including the current impasse within the Legislature. The Supreme Court’s recent ruling has definitively resolved this matter, and I fully respect and uphold its decision.
“In light of this, I am actively engaging in consultations with stakeholders across the country, including my colleagues from all sides in the Legislature, regarding my transition from the position and to determine the appropriate path forward. I commit to keeping the public informed as these discussions progress. In the meantime, I urge all citizens to refrain from amplifying unsubstantiated claims that risk fostering unnecessary confusion or division.”
