In presenting his elaborate findings, the country’s anti-graft Chief said Agriculture Minister Jeanie Cooper awarded contracts to her brother Zubin Cooper and diverted agriculture materials to her personal use. She also awarded contracts to Farbrar- a company in which she has beneficial ownership.

At the Liberia Institute of Statistics and Geo-Information Services, the Executive Chairperson Cllr Martin informed the Liberian people that Director General Francis Wreh, his deputies Wilmot Smith, and Lawrence George violated several laws in the purchase of second-handed generators, and the procurement of tablets for the upcoming census.
