MONROVIA – President Joseph Nyuma Boakai has taken decisive action against public officials who failed to declare their assets within the legally mandated timeframe, suspending them from duty effective immediately.
An Executive Mansion statement released on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, confirmed the suspensions, citing the officials’ non-compliance with 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 financial disclosures.
The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC), tasked with monitoring compliance, submitted a list of individuals who failed to meet the deadline. Those named in the report have been suspended without pay for one month or until they fulfill the declaration requirement. Government assets under their control must be turned over immediately to designated personnel within their respective institutions.
President Boakai highlighted the significance of asset declaration as a critical tool for promoting transparency and accountability in public service. He warned that any official who neglects their ethical and legal obligations will face firm disciplinary measures. His administration, he stressed, remains committed to upholding the highest standards of governance and combating corruption at all levels.
