Monrovia – The Liberia National Red Cross Society is now facing a massive task of rejuvenation as a result of a declined reputation created by a major corruption scandal. The ramification is gravely impacting the level of support from numerous international partners, as they remain skeptical about contributing to the LNRCS. And the International Federation of the Red Cross (IFRC) said US$2.7 million was lost to corruption in Liberia, misappropriated by officials who headed the LNRCS during the outbreak. In June 2017, the Secretariat General of the National Society was recruited. While the new management team continues to lobby with the Legislature for budgetary increment, it is making amends for the discrepancies of its predecessor.
