By Monrovia– Senator Darius Dillon of Montserrado County has expressed disapproval towards the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) for imposing a six-month deadline on public officials who fall under the Code of Conduct to disclose their assets.
Senator Dillon questioned the LACC’s jurisdiction to issue an ultimatum to public officials during his appearance on OK FM in Monrovia on Thursday. The Code of Conduct defines the precise time frame that these officials must declare their intentions.
Noting that the Commission will be required to legally support its authority of ultimatum given to those officials, the Senator from Montserrado County underlined his undistracted position to beseech the indulgence of the Liberian Senate plenary to invite the LACC upon their return. Senator Dillon insisted that instead of the six months the LACC had stated, all public officials now have 30 days under the new Code of Conduct to report their assets.
