Representative Kolubah was denied a request for medical leave by the court on February 12 this year when Judge Willie ruled that he could not grant the lawmaker the medical leave for the second time because the court was not given sufficient notice to study his request. Tuesday’s ruling of the court makes it the second time the Montserrado County lawmaker, who is a staunch critic of President George Weah, will leave the country to seek treatment in Ghana. His first medical leave was granted in August 2019 after his lawyer and doctor had pleaded with the court, submitting that he had been diagnosed of an unnamed illness that would require treatment abroad. This latest move by Judge Willie to grant the lawmaker medical leave comes after a heated argument between Representative Kolubah’s lawyer, Cllr. Findley Karngar and Montserrado County Attorney Edwin Martin.
