I want to be very clear. I do not support the way Prophet Key handles political issues. Insulting women, attacking people personally, and verbally abusing anyone he accuses of corruption or anyone who disagrees with him is wrong. That behavior does not strengthen democracy; it weakens it.
However, his recent judgment before the Supreme Court of the Republic of Liberia raises a serious concern for me and many other Liberians.
We observed how quickly his case was heard and how swiftly he was sentenced to six months at Monrovia Central Prison. The speed of that process stands in sharp contrast to many other serious cases in Liberia.
There are cases involving:
• Alleged r**e of minors
• Killings and unresolved murder cases
• The deaths of government auditors
Many of these cases have dragged on for years without resolution. They have not received the same urgency or decisive action.
So the issue is not about defending Prophet Key’s conduct.
The issue is consistency in the application of justice!!
If justice can move swiftly in one case, it should move swiftly in all cases especially those involving loss of life, sexual violence, and corruption.
Justice should not appear selective. It should not depend on who was insulted or who was offended.
The concern many of us are raising is simple:
Justice in Liberia must be consistent, impartial, and not reactive only when powerful individuals are personally affected.
