Today marks international anti-corruption day. On this day we ask all Liberians to take a moment to reflect on what corruption has done to the people of Liberia. Corruption was the primary reason for the civil conflict that caused the death of over three hundred thousand Liberians. Transparency International’s 2021 Corruption Perception Index (CPI) has ranked Liberia among the poor-performing countries in the fight against corruption. As a result of this high level of corruption, Liberia has a poor health system, poor educational system, bad roads, and more hungry people than most countries in Africa.
