President Boakai Relieves Ambassador Sheikh Al-Moustapha Kouyateh of Duties

In a communication dated June 8, 2026, President Boakai informed Ambassador Kouyateh that recent events arising from public statements attributed to him concerning the Honorable House of Representatives, coupled with subsequent communications received from that body expressing a vote of no confidence in his continued service, have created circumstances requiring presidential attention and action.

The President emphasized that the success of Liberia’s national development agenda depends on constructive engagement, mutual respect, and effective collaboration among the three coordinate branches of Government. 

The Liberian Chief Executive noted that the implementation of the ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development requires strong working relationships among national institutions in pursuit of the common good.

The President thanked Ambassador Kouyateh for his service to the nation and wished him well in his future endeavors.
