NAKEMOR condemns a Supreme Court ruling rejecting their petition concerning a ban on motorbikes and tricycles, threatening nationwide protests. They claim the decision infringes on riders’ rights and label it unjust. The group demands the repeal of the ‘NO-GO ZONE’ policy and calls for support from citizens and international bodies, expressing no confidence in Justice Clinton-Johnson. If demands are unmet, they plan to escalate their protests.
The National KEH-KEH and Motorbike Riders Welfare and Advocacy Organization of Liberia (NAKEMOR) has expressed disapproval of a recent ruling by Supreme Court Justice Ceaineh D. Clinton-Johnson, which rejected their petition. This group represents numerous riders and threatens nationwide protests if the government does not revoke the ban on motorbikes and tricycles.
NAKEMOR President Solomon G. Jolokleh Jr. argued that the ruling infringes on the rights of motorbike and KEH-KEH riders, describing it as an unjust act that threatens national peace and stability. The organization alleges collusion between the Inspector General of Police, Gregory Coleman, and the Minister of Justice, claiming justice has been denied to riders.
The group highlighted the economic role of motorbike operators, stating they contribute millions in tax revenue and offer crucial transportation services. They demand an immediate annulment of the “NO-GO ZONE” policy, asserting it harms their livelihoods. Jolokleh urged citizens and civil society for support against this perceived injustice.
Moreover, NAKEMOR has expressed a lack of confidence in Justice Clinton-Johnson, alleging she prioritizes government interests over the law. They are calling on the Liberian government, the Legislature, and international bodies for intervention. If their demands to remove the ban are not met, they plan to escalate their protest, potentially leading to a nationwide indefinite shutdown.
The NAKEMOR group is actively opposing a Supreme Court ruling deemed unjust towards motorbike and KEH-KEH riders in Liberia. They emphasize the vital economic contributions of these riders while threatening protests if their demands are ignored. Their appeal for support from the government and international partners highlights the significant impact of this situation on the livelihood of thousands across the country.
