Liberia News: LACC Takes Seize Of Bribery Allegation
Liberia-The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) has taken seize of what is called ‘serious allegations’ regarding the involvement of certain members of the House of Representatives in acts of bribery aimed at influencing the removal of the Speaker of the House.
An LACC statement issued Monday said it is also made aware of sources of fundings in the total amount of US$750,000.00 (Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand United States Dollars) which was allegedly made available to the Lawmakers through the accounts of the Ministry of Transport and the Liberia Water and Sewer Corporation (LWSC) respectively.
“We wish to address these concerns publicly and transparently,” the integrity entity stated, noting that it has received complaints from several stakeholders calling for investigation into these allegations.
“These allegations, if proven true, represent a grave threat to the integrity of Liberia’s legislative processes and the principles of democratic governance. Bribery and corruption in any form undermine public confidence in elected institutions and disrupt the rule of law,” the statement said.
The Institution reaffirmed its commitment to upholding its mandate to investigate the conduct of any person irrespective of status or office if the conduct of the person constitutes acts of corruption.
It said it has initiated preliminary assessments to ascertain the facts and gather evidence, adding that the “investigation will be carried out in collaboration with relevant institutions, including the Ministry of Justice (MOJ), the Financial Intelligence Agency (FIA), and other integrity bodies where necessary.”
“We wish to assure the public that our investigation will be conducted with utmost fairness and impartiality. We will seek to ensure that all parties involved are afforded due process, and that no premature conclusions are drawn. Our goal is to establish the facts based on evidence, and we will not hesitate to take the necessary actions if wrongdoing is uncovered,” the statement added.
LACC emphasized that bribery in any form is illegal and unacceptable, and that any individual, regardless of their position or status, found to have participated in corrupt practices will be held accountable to the full extent of the law.
It called upon all Representatives, public officials, and individuals who may have information relevant to this investigation to fully cooperate with our inquiries, stressing “We also urge the public and the media to exercise patience as we carry out our duties. Speculation and premature judgments could jeopardize the integrity of our investigation.”
The national integrity institution said it remains steadfast in its mission to uphold transparency, accountability, and the rule of law, noting that the allegations, if substantiated, would signal a breach of the trust placed in elected representatives by the people of Liberia.

Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
