LACC Rejects, Condemns Koijee’s Allegation

Monrovia-December 5, 2025: The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) has categorically rejected and condemned what it calls baseless, misleading, and politically motivated allegations made by Mr. Jefferson T. Koijee against the Commission.

In a relese LACC noted that it is unfortunate and deeply regrettable that an individual who once occupied a position of public trust would intentionally mislead the Liberian people with false narratives crafted to incite public confusion.

“Mr. Koijee’s assertions regarding alleged “diversion of public funds” and payments purportedly made under the banner of “December 6 Mobilization” are entirely false, reckless, and unsupported by any factual basis. The LACC has made no such payments, has engaged in no such scheme, and has never participated in or endorsed any illicit financial activity as alleged,” the release added.

The release noted that the Commission operates under strict legal, administrative, and financial procedures, all subject to internal controls, external audits, and the law. Any insinuation that the LACC is part of a criminal network or political patronage system is not only false but a deliberate attempt to drag the integrity institutions of the state into political theatre.

“The LACC remains committed to its mandate, investigating acts of corruption without fear or favour, upholding the standards of transparency and ccountability, safeguarding the public interest through lawful and professional conduct.”

The release added, “We call on the public, international partners, and stakeholders to disregard Mr. Koijee’s fabrications and rely on verified information from credible institutions. The Commission will not be deterred by calculated attempts to undermine its work, and we remain focused on serving the Liberian people with integrity.”

LACC noted that any individual with legitimate evidence of corruption is encouraged to follow the appropriate legal channels and present credible information not propaganda in the interest of justice and the rule of law.

“The truth cannot be distorted by political desperation. LACC stands firm, focused, and unshaken.”
