Some executive members of the opposition political party, Movement for Economic Empowerment have frowned at news circulating on social media about the expulsion of its Political Leader, Dee Maxwell Saah Kemayah.
On Thursday, June 6, local media reported that the MOVEE National Executive Committee has removed Amb. Kemayah as its Political Leader for misapplication of funds intended for the party operations and programs, suspension and expulsion of key party members without any respect for the Bi-laws and constitution among others as some reasons behind their action against their political leader.
The decision according to media report, was consonant with Article 19, Section 5(a) of the 2016 Bi-laws and Constitution, which provides that a simple majority of members of the National Executive Committee (NEC) is legally and sufficient to take to binding decisions for the party; the Movement for Economic Empowerment has unanimously taken disciplinary actions against executives and members of the party who are said to be in total violation in violations of the party’s Bi-Laws & Constitution.
According to the report, Kemayah was endorsed as political leader on September 22, 2022, at an emergency National Convention, which has allegedly elapsed.
The report noted that a group, under the banner, “Majority National Executive Committee Members,” made the statement during a major press conference in Paynesville, on Tuesday, June 4, which was read by one Matthew Shan, claiming the National Chairmanship of the Movement for Economic Empowerment.
However, MOVEE Acting Chairman, Prince Mehn, providing clarity during the media on an inquiry, noting that the information is faked and being spewed by “envious minds of defeated and confused individuals,” who have been expelled and suspended from party for gross violations of the Party’s constitution.
Mehn said the removal of the Chairman is the decision of the National Executive Committee and no member of the National Executive Committee has endorsed the said decision.
According to him, MOVEE went to a convention in 2023, electing a new corps of leaders, in which Amb. Kemayah was also elected as Political leader and that tenure runs for six years, running to 2029, before another convention is held.
However, he said the National Executive Committee can make said decision for probable cause, but no member of the National Executive Committee has made such a decision.
According to him, information in social media and other platforms, that Ambassador Kemeyah Sr., has been removed from MOVEE as Political Leader is sinister and a clever tactic to gain popularity at his expense.
“The information is a blatant lie. Ambassador Kemayah continues to enjoy the confidence of MOVEE, and we do not intend to remove him through unconstitutional means.
“The Party is strong and our Leader, Ambassador Kemayah has had a series of meetings with National leaders and coordinators of Montserrado County for the past weeks ,” Mr. Mehn stressed
Mehn noted that those behind said information has decided to spree falsehoods who do not want to adapt to discipline. He described the party as one that values discipline, as such it cannot unduly remove Kemayah, who continues to support the party in all aspects.
Meanwhile, MOVEE National Youth Wing Chair, only identified as Winston Gaye noted that Kemayah still enjoyed the confidence of the party’s National Executive Committee, as such the information is untrue.
“That information is from the belle of the devil and there is no time saidndecision was made. No one should take said information seriously,” Gaye berated.
