CENTAL’s calls follows the just-released 2019 Corruption Perception Index (CPI) report, which ranked Liberia as one of the “Worst Decliners” worldwide in the fight against corruption. “Liberia now ranks 137/180 and sits further down the table compared to its 2018 rank of 120/180,” he noted. According to him, Liberia has therefore joined the list of countries significantly declining countries on the CPI since 2012. Also, recommendations contained in existing reports of LACC, GAC, IAA and other integrity institutions must be timely implemented. He further cautioned the government to increase the moral and financial support to public integrity institutions to operate fully and independently among other things.
