Fonati Koffa, once a formidable force in Liberian politics is now facing something he's forever feared: political obscurity. The court's ruling has effectively shifted the balance of power, providing a legal endorsement to those seeking to oust Koffa from his position as Speaker. This unprecedented move by the President, combined with the court's decision, paints a picture of what the future of Koffa looks like. The Constitution, which Koffa had long cited as the foundation of his legitimacy, now appears to no longer be in his favor. By not submitting the budget to him, the President has effectively stripped Koffa of his primary function as Speaker, signaling a loss of legitimacy.
