Samuel K. Doe Legacy Foundation Denounces Misrepresentation of the Doe Family

The Samuel K. Doe Legacy Foundation, representing 18 of the surviving biological children of the late President Samuel Kanyon Doe, is compelled to address and correct recent public statements made by a small minority of siblings from another branch of the family. These individuals have wrongfully claimed to speak for “The Doe Family” while issuing threats and political ultimatums to His Excellency President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr. Such statements are reckless, unrepresentative, and damaging to the dignity of our father’s legacy. They do not speak for the majority of President Doe’s children, and they hold no authority to represent the Doe lineage in any official capacity. The Foundation was established precisely because of repeated public misrepresentation and the erosion of respect for our father’s name caused by these actions. We stand as the legitimate and united voice of the majority committed to preserving his legacy through service, charity, and a constructive relationship with the people and Government of Liberia. President Doe led with courage and a vision for Liberia’s progress. It is not in keeping with his values to engage in public threats, disparage national leadership, or seek personal gain through intimidation. The Samuel K. Doe Legacy Foundation categorically disassociates itself from such behavior. We take this opportunity to affirm our full and unwavering support for President Boakai’s leadershipand his administration’s goals of peace, reconciliation, and development. Our mission is to give back toLiberia not to perpetuate division or tarnish the nation’s image before the international community. We call on the media, the Liberian public, and the international community to distinguish clearly between isolated personal grievances and the united, forward-looking agenda of the Samuel K. DoeLegacy Foundation. Any statement not issued directly by this Foundation should not be regarded as the official position of President Doe’s children. "Our father’s name is not a weapon for personal gain it is a legacy to be honored through unity, service, and respect for the nation he led." Kuly T. Kimba, Founding Member & Spokesperson, Samuel K.
