MONROVIA – The Board of Commissioners of the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) has sharply reacted to the Liberian Senate’s claim that they did not declare their assets prior to their confirmation. Alexandra Kormah Zoe, said contrary to Senator Dillon’s claims, the current members of the Board of Commissioners declared their assets. They clarified that only the Code of Conduct of 2014 mandates public officials and employees of Government to declare their assets. Despite report of widespread corruption in public sector, public officials accused of corruption are rarely prosecuted. Zoe reiterated the LACC’s mandate and called on all public officials concerned to declare on or before December 12.
