Liberia-The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Cllr. J. Fonati Koffa has signed the National Code of Conduct with the Ombudsman Office in Monrovia.
Speaker Koffa signing the public document at the Capitol Building Tuesday, 17 September said the signing of the National Code of Conduct is the first step towards good governance and a change in governance in Liberia.
He encouraged all public officials in Liberia to sign the National Code of Conduct as a way of committing and upholding to high ethical standards and advancing good governance.
The Ombudsman, as stipulated by Article 90 (c) of the Liberian Constitution, is an independent official tasked with investigating and addressing complaints against government agencies and institutions concerning violations of the code of conduct. This role is vital for holding public officials to high ethical standards, promoting fairness in dispute resolution, and advancing good governance.
The Ombudsman office was officially created during President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf’s administration, with its legal framework established in 2014. However, its full operationalization has faced delays due to challenges such as insufficient funding and political resistance.
For his part, the head of the Ombudsman Office, Cllr. Findley Kangar thanked the Speaker for his commitment and being the second public official after the President of Liberia to sign the National Code of Conduct.
The signing ceremony was witnessed by scores of lawmakers and the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives.
