Liberian president suspends all govt officials govt asset declaration non-compliance

Liberian President Joseph Boakai has taken a firm stance against financial opacity within his administration, suspending all government officials who failed to disclose their assets within the required timeframe.

The affected officials will face a one-month suspension without pay or remain suspended until they submit the mandatory asset declarations.

President Boakai emphasized that asset declaration is not just a legal obligation but a fundamental step toward promoting transparency and restoring public trust in government institutions.

“This is not merely a bureaucratic requirement; it is a commitment to accountability and good governance. Public officials must lead by example and assure Liberians that their leaders have nothing to hide,” he stated.

Africa Parrot correspondent gathered that the move aligns with Boakai’s broader anti-corruption agenda, which has been a key pillar of his administration since taking office.

The suspension signals a zero-tolerance approach to corruption and non-compliance, reinforcing Liberia’s efforts to uphold ethical governance.

This development is expected to serve as a wake-up call for other public officials who have yet to comply with asset declaration laws. It remains to be seen how many officials will swiftly adhere to the directive to avoid prolonged suspension.
