The lawmakers believe that the re-grouping of the ex-rebel fighters is unwanted, “because they are non-State actors. They should stop usurping power that is already assigned to state security agencies, whose officers are paid by Liberian tax payers’ money. “Therefore, the government should stop witch-hunting by dissociating itself from former fighters, since the country’s fragile peace prevails,” Rep. Gleekia said. It can recalled that ex-rebel generals from various defunct factions on Tuesday, April 16, 2019, distanced themselves from an allegation attributed to Rep. Kolubah. But shortly after the Kolubah’s statement, the ex-rebel fighters issued a joint statement threatening to arrest him on behalf of the government.
