Frances Johnson-Allison, seemed to have suggested one more reason for the failure when she pointed at ‘friendship’ as one of the challenges in the corruption fight. Though President Sirleaf admitted failure in the corruption fight, her administration succeeded essentially in laying the foundation not to fight corruption with lethal weapons again, but to do so through integrity institutions and instruments. How is he going to fight corruption and improve the economy for instance? I submit to you that government has all the machineries and instruments at its disposal to regulate the population and fight corruption. Until those structural imbalances or political corruption are addressed in the governance process, there will be no victory over corruption.
