MONROVIA, Liberia – Thomas Fallah, the man once branded as a “thief” and state looter by partisans of the Unity Party (UP) has become a man of integrity, substance and value-following the Lawmaker’s pledge of support formally to President Joseph Nyumah Boakai at the just ended fundraising rally in Congo Town.
A once staunch and loyal confidant of former President George Weah, Fallah who has been a legislator for about 20 years was brutal and unapologetic with his words condemning Boakai the then former Vice President seeking Liberia’s highest political office-the Presidency. The two barely coexisted, especially so when Fallah moved to Foya, the President’s hometown, campaigned and extended his Representative role on Capitol Hill.
At the rally in Congo Town aimed at raising over US$2 million dollars for the purchase of the building the Unity Party was once evicted from for inability to pay rent, Fallah showed up and, did not only declare his support to Boakai, his kinsman but also led a group of lawmakers and former lawmakers to join the Unity Party.
He argued that his desire to support Boakai and the Unity Party today is simply based on the President’s productive leadership which is leading the country in the right direction.
“Before there was any political party, there was Liberia; before any of us here came into being, there was Liberia,” he said, justifying that his action is based on support for national development rather than party loyalty.
The Lawmaker fell apart with the former ruling Congress for Democratic Change when he supported the removal of J. Fonati Koffa from post of Speaker of the House of Representatives. Onward, he built relationship with the President and began initiating projects in Lofa with the Liberian leader recognized at every level, something that was not done before when Fallah earlier moved to Foya prior to the 2023 elections.
He presented to the UP executive leadership Representative Sumo Mulbah of Montserrado District #3, Representative Prince Koinah of Bong County, Alex Grant of River Cess County and Austin B. Taylor of Maryland County District #2 as recruits-later granting them the full membership into the Unity Party fraternity.
Others also joining the Unity Party was Solomon George, the formed CDC lawmaker of Montserrado District #7.
Introducing Fallah on the stage, Mo Ali, a one time uncompromising critic of the lawmaker said Fallah is a man of integrity, honesty and value-emphasizing that the lawmaker is an asset welcomed to the UP family.
