Tamba Taylor, also spelled 'Tailor', (September 1898 – October 2000) was a long-serving paramount chief of the Kissi people, Lofa County, Liberia.
[1][3] He would later claim to have sewn clothes for Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie and Ghanaian President Kwame Nkrumah.
[3] During Samuel Doe's period as leader of the People's Redemption Council ruling Liberia in the 1980s, Doe sought Taylor's support for the junta government but Taylor did not heed the call.
[6] Tamba Taylor became one of six members of the Council of State chaired by Wilton G. S. Sankawulo installed on 1 September 1995.
[8] However, Tamba Taylor's participation on the Council of State was largely symbolic; in practice he was often excluded from proceedings or unable to follow the conversations due to language barriers.
