The devastating blaze at Liberia's parliament occurred amidst rising political tensions and legislative impasse involving Speaker Fonati Koffa, raising suspicions about a connection between the two events.
President Joseph Boakai termed the fire as politically motivated, suggesting it aimed to create division within the country. The backlash from protests against Speaker Koffa's removal further fueled speculation about the blaze's motives.
The fire incident, which caused significant damage to essential offices and archives, coincided with heightened tensions from protests seeking adherence to legal processes regarding the speaker’s position.
Over the recent weeks, there have been two fires, including the December 18 incident, that raised serious concerns about the safety and integrity of Liberia's political institutions.
