As if the legal battle hanging above his head as a result of a House of Representatives speech isn’t enough, self-proclaimed ruling party chairman Richard Nagbe Kuhn is caught up in another legal battle against his 25-year wife.
Just a day after the Supreme Court reserved a ruling on the legitimacy of his speech, Angeline Mammy Warro Coon filed a lawsuit in the commercial court. However, Mrs. Coon’s lawsuit has nothing to do with her husband’s speech.
Instead, she requires her to properly explain the money her husband has generated from the joint property that the speaker has managed over the past 19 years.
The lawsuit was filed by Mrs. Coon’s attorney Cllr. Moriah Yeakula Korkpor requires proper accounting to maintain 50% ownership and make sufficient profits from apartment rent revenue.
Mrs. Coon claims that in 2005 she and her husband developed the land, building five duplexes each, including two apartments, creating a total of ten apartments.
According to court records, Angeline is Speakercoon’s legal wife and has been married for 25 years since 2000.
Angeline also claims she acquired the joint property in March 2004 in the Unity Conference Centre Community, Hotel Africa Road, Virginia, Montserrado County, Liberia.
The court documents were inspected in April 2004 and were subsequently registered in Vol 03-04 on pages 270-272 of the archive, with the deeds being named both Angeline W. Koon and Richard W. Koon.
Initially, Mrs. Koon claimed that in 2007 they mutually agreed to use the property for rental purposes to generate funds and support families.
Since then, she claims that Koon Speaker has failed to provide information about the income generated.
“But up until now, as someone who manages the property, Kuhn refused (and) failed (and) to inform his wife of the money from his wife and leases and how such proceeds are being used, and how its profits were.
She said in 2007 she and her husband would calculate their estimated income for the year at US$5,110.00. She has since argued that (2007) there is no clue as to whether the projected income was met or exceeded, or whether income over the past 19 years was income taking into account inflation.
Mrs. Kuhn’s argument is that the purpose of renting the property is not met. This is because Chairman Kuhn had no accounting for her before he had separate residences, and he still has no accounting for her. She said Speakercoon was unable to properly maintain and manage the apartment. However, the properties belong to both.
She also accused the speaker of overseeing the property on his own, choosing a tenant, and collecting rent without mentioning her.
Speakercoon claimed he ran and managed their apartments for her complete exclusion. She said that she has no knowledge of the tenants who currently occupy all of the apartments, according to Mrs. Coon., as her husband was unable to report any form to her.
“He has not had any consequences over the years in his efforts to obtain information about my rights to the revenue generated and revenue generated from rentals and leases,” Mrs. Coon argued.

She argued that attempts to seek accountability from her husband always plunges into confusion. “In 2015, there was a heated debate over his lack of accounting and reports of revenue from rent.”
Following that argument, Angeline claimed that her husband told her to go to the apartment and asked her to ask the tenant for a copy of the receipt.
But before she could get there, her husband had instructed the tenants not to deal with her, despite their joint ownership.
“This is taking her share from the rent,” the lawsuit alleges.
This is why she will file a lawsuit in the court, grant a proper accounting petition, maintain 50% ownership and receive her appropriate profit from the proceeds of apartment rent.
