Suspended NCD Executive Director Condemns Exclusion of PWDs From Nimba Infrastructure Conference
By Amos HarrisSamuel Dean, the suspended Executive Director of the National Commission on Disabilities (NCD), has sharply criticized the organizers of a major infrastructure conference held in Nimba County, accusing them of deliberately excluding Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) from discussions critical to Liberia’s development future. The conference, which brought together policymakers and key stakeholders to deliberate on national infrastructure planning, reportedly proceeded without any representation from the disability community despite PWDs accounting for an estimated 20 percent of Liberia’s population. Dean further warned that infrastructure planning carried out without disability perspectives inevitably results in public facilities that are inaccessible and discriminatory. The exclusion has reignited concerns among disability rights advocates that national development forums continue to treat PWDs as an afterthought rather than as equal stakeholders. Dean concluded by questioning how genuinely inclusive Liberia’s infrastructure agenda can be when a significant segment of the population is consistently and systematically left out of critical national conversations.

Audit Slams NDMA For Ignoring Oversight, Exposing Disaster Response To Serious Risk
By Amos HarrisLiberia’s National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA) is under intense scrutiny after a damning follow-up audit by the General Auditing Commission (GAC) revealed a near-total disregard for oversight recommendations intended to strengthen accountability and protect public resources. According to the Auditor General’s Annual Progress Report on the Implementation of Audit Recommendations, the NDMA implemented only one out of 82 audit recommendations between August 30, 2024, and August 31, 2025. Auditor General P. Garswa Jackson has warned that the NDMA’s continued failure to act on audit findings places public funds at significant risk. The report highlights that this noncompliance is not an isolated incident but a pattern spanning multiple audit cycles. Because audit recommendations are designed to address undocumented or missing funds and weak oversight, the GAC cautions that ignoring these vulnerabilities creates fertile ground for systemic abuse.
