Monrovia – President Joseph Nyuma Boakai Sr., has suspended three senior officials of the Liberia Refugee Repatriation and Resettlement Commission (LRRRC) over serious allegations of financial impropriety.
The officials suspended are Executive Director Patrick Worzie, Deputy Executive Director for Operations Richard Hoff, and Deputy Executive Director for Administration AJ Armah Karneh. Their suspensions take immediate effect and will be without pay pending an investigation by the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC).
The decision according to E-Mansion follows a report submitted to the Office of the President, which detailed questionable financial transactions involving the suspended officials and others at the LRRRC. In light of these findings, President Boakai has ordered that all involved personnel return government and LRRRC assets to the Commission’s Human Resource Director.
The LACC has been tasked with conducting a full investigation into the allegations, with the expectation that the suspended officials will fully cooperate to ensure a transparent and timely inquiry.
President Boakai emphasized his commitment to ethical governance and accountability, reinforcing the need for transparency within government institutions. As the investigation unfolds, stakeholders are watching closely to see how this situation will impact operations at the LRRRC and the broader efforts to combat corruption in Liberia.
