In Liberia, tensions between the executive and legislative arms of government are raising concerns about the country’s governance framework.

Representative Sumo Mulbah of Montserrado County, District 3, says oversight, a key role of the legislature, is being sidelined due to growing executive influence.

He warns that this power imbalance undermines accountability and weakens democratic checks and balances.

Mulbah argues that preserving the separation of powers is essential to safeguard Liberia’s democratic principles.
