CSA MOVES TO ENFORCE BOAKAI’S SUSPENSION OF OFFICIALS OVER ASSET DECLARATION

Date:

MONROVIA – The Civil Service Agency (CSA) has announced immediate enforcement measures against government officials suspended by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai for failing to declare their assets.

In a circular memorandum issued on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, CSA Director General Josiah F. Joekai informed all heads of government spending entities that officials who remain non-compliant will be blocked from receiving their salaries for February. The memo, under the subject “Enforcing the President’s Mandate on Non-Compliance with Asset Declaration,” warned that the salary freeze will persist until the affected officials submit their financial disclosures.

“This measure is intended to ensure that all officials of government adhere to the necessary regulations and maintain the trust placed in us by the public,” the CSA stated. It also instructed suspended officials to immediately turn over all government assets under their control to designated personnel within their respective institutions.

Earlier today, President Boakai took decisive action by suspending non-compliant officials, citing their failure to adhere to Article 2, Section 10.2(h) of the revised Code of Conduct. The decision follows a previous directive issued on November 27, 2024, which granted an additional ten-day grace period for officials to submit their disclosures. The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC), responsible for monitoring compliance, submitted a list of those who failed to meet the deadline. As a result, the officials have been suspended without pay for one month or until they meet the declaration requirement.

President Boakai stressed the importance of asset declaration as a critical tool for transparency and accountability in public service. He warned that any official who neglects their legal and ethical obligations will face firm disciplinary action, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to upholding good governance and combating corruption at all levels.
