Liberia: LACC outlines several challenges
Jan 4, 2010
by Michael Kpayili / Staff Writer
Frances Johnson Morris
The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) has hailed its staff for the level of cooperation and dedication to duty during the year 2009. The commendation was made on Wednesday, December 30, 2009 during a year-end staff meeting held at the head office of the Commission on 10th Street, Sinkor.
Speaking during the forum, the Executive Chairperson of the LACC, Cllr. Frances Johnson Morris praised the staff for their patriotism and commitment to the fight against corruption as demonstrated by their tireless efforts in ensuring the implementation of the Commission’s mandate. Madam Morris said despite the challenges the Commission experienced in the implementation of its program, the staff stayed focused and resolute in the fight against corruption, which continues to destroy the country.
Describing the achievements of the LACC during the period, the Chairperson noted that the Commission submitted its first case involving the former Chairman of the Liberia Telecommunication Authority (LTA) to the Ministry of Justice for prosecution, and the formulation and implementation of the assets declaration regime for public officials. The Commission also formulated a three-year work plan and met the IMF benchmark of being operational in one year following its establishment.
The Liberia Anti Corruption Commission has consistently requested officials of government to disclosed their assets but members of the government particularly the Legislative and Judicial Branches of government are yet to comply by the regulation which is impeding the quest to succeed in the fight against corruption.
Of late, statement coming from LACC praised junior officials in Government for complying with government regulation of assets declaration.
The demands to declare assets has been overwhelmingly welcome by ordinary Liberians due to what they considered rapid stealing on government especially within the circles of the imported government officials from the Diaspora.
The Commission has however outlined several challenges including budgetary constrains as well as enough investigators to probe the preliminary aspect of corrupt cases brought before it.
