Authorities of the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) say it comptroller, J. Bernard Nagbe, resigned to escape being entrapped in a pending audit at that anti-graft entity. “The LACC is shocked and astounded by the abrupt, and unprofessional nature of the resignation of its former Comptroller, which occurred at the commencement of a financial and institutional audit being conducted by the General Audit Commission (GAC),” the LACC said in a statement signed by its Executive Director, Attorney Mohammed Fahnbulleh. “I am constrained to tender my resignation on grounds of uncertainty with my salary and benefits. “Giving the critical nature of the role previously occupied by Nagbe, a role indispensable to the completion of the pending GAC audit, the BOC strongly advises its former comptroller to remain in-country, and to truly cooperate with the GAC for the speedy completion of the ongoing audit. Meanwhile, the LACC has called on the public to know that as a government institution, it is not immune to the effects of an ailing economy.
