Monrovia – The Better Future Foundation (BFF), the proponent of Liberia Democracy Sustainability Platform (DSP), has called on President George Weah Administration to adopt alternative and practical strategies aimed at winning the fight against corruption in the public sector. In a release issued in Monrovia over the weekend, BFF proposed to the Government to launch a thorough assessment of all state apparatuses through comprehensive forensic audits gear toward promoting the fight against corruption. According to the BFF release, signed by its Founder/President, Augustine S. Arkoi, this would ensure transparency, accountability and probity in the implementation of national development programs and activities which over the years have been heavily dependent on foreign aid and donors’ support. The Foundation further proposed to President Weah that any current or past public officials who voluntarily return stolen assets/funds into the custody of the state should be given presidential clemency. BFF further expressed serious concern that a whopping US$449 million has been taken out of Liberia.
