House ‘leadership’ moves to enforce Koffa’s eviction from Speaker’s Office

Senate Freezes Relations with House

CAPITOL HILL – The leadership of the House of Representatives has formally assumed control of the eviction standoff involving embattled Speaker J. Fonati Koffa, following heated deliberations during a tense legislative session on Tuesday.

Koffa, who was controversially removed from his position, has steadfastly refused to vacate the Speaker’s office. He had informed the Chief Clerk Mildred Sayon to inform the majority bloc to seize the office by force if they desired it.

Dismissing Sayon’s official communication as an “unlawful usurpation” of legislative authority, Koffa accused the majority bloc of orchestrating an illegal takeover of the Speakership.

“Please inform those who instructed you to write such a letter that they should obtain the office in the same manner as they obtained the Speakership illegally and with the force of the executive,” he wrote defiantly.

House Leadership Takes Control

Following intense exchanges, the House’s leadership took charge of the matter. However, the specific measures they plan to implement remain undisclosed.

The House Committee on Rules, Order, and Administration has documented multiple failed attempts to resolve the issue, including official eviction notices. Justice Minister Oswald Tweh also recommended a five-day ultimatum for Koffa to vacate the premises or face removal in the presence of media and civil society representatives.

Despite the deadline, Koffa has reportedly traveled to the United States, leaving the Speaker’s office locked and inaccessible.
