MONROVIA– As investigations unfold regarding the removal of the House Speaker, troubling allegations have surfaced implicating government forces in the controversial saga. The Ministry of Transport (MoT) and the Liberia Water and Sewer Corporation (LWSC) are under scrutiny, raising questions about the integrity of high-level officials linked to the incident.
Information Minister Jerolinmek M. Piah addressed these serious concerns during a press briefing at the Ministry of Information, Cultural Affairs and Tourism (MICAT) on Thursday. He acknowledged the ongoing investigations by the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) and the General Auditing Commission (GAC), emphasizing the gravity of the situation.
“Reports indicate a potential involvement of government forces in the events leading up to the Speaker’s removal,” Piah stated. He confirmed that both the MoT and LWSC have requested audits to address allegations of misconduct, underscoring the government’s commitment to uncovering the truth.
Critics have voiced concerns that these developments reveal deeper issues within the government, particularly regarding accountability and governance. Piah sought to reassure the public, stating that President Joseph N. Boakai, Sr. is focused on ensuring the integrity of his administration, in stark contrast to the previous government under George M. Weah, which was criticized for its lack of transparency.
Despite these reassurances, the connection of government forces to the Speaker’s removal has sparked widespread debate and raised fears about the implications for Liberia’s political stability. As the investigation continues, the government faces mounting pressure to demonstrate its commitment to justice and accountability in the face of serious allegations.
