Jefferson T. Koijee

politician Liberia

Jefferson T. Koijee is the Secretary General of the opposition Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) in Liberia, known for his vocal stance on political issues affecting the nation. Recently, he has garnered attention for criticizing a new U.S. immigration policy that pauses immigrant visa processing for citizens of 75 countries, including Liberia, framing it as a troubling shift from targeted sanctions against specific individuals to broad restrictions impacting the entire Liberian population. Koijee, who was sanctioned by the U.S. in 2023 over allegations of public corruption, argues that this policy disproportionately burdens ordinary Liberians and undermines their opportunities for family reunification and economic mobility.
