The Faith and Justice Network has urged the Liberian government to enhance anti-corruption measures by prosecuting offenders and recovering stolen wealth.

The Faith and Justice Network, a pro-democracy organization in Liberia, has called on the government to strengthen anti-corruption efforts. They advocate for strict prosecution of corrupt individuals and the confiscation of their illegal assets to deter corruption. This approach aims to ensure that corrupt practices do not result in personal gain for perpetrators, but rather in the loss of their ill-gotten wealth.
During a press conference in Monrovia, Reverend Doctor Tolbert Jallah, the Network’s Executive Director, highlighted the importance of redirecting funds obtained through corruption towards vital public services such as infrastructure, education, and healthcare. He stated, “Those who abuse their positions of power for personal gain must face severe legal consequences that reflect the magnitude of their crimes.”
The Network is committed to promoting accountability through rigorous enforcement of existing regulations and supporting the creation of new anti-corruption laws. Reverend Doctor Jallah acknowledged President Joseph Nyumah Boakai’s recent suspension of officials who failed to declare their assets as per legal requirements, signaling progress toward transparency.
Advocating for justice, integrity, and ethical leadership, the Network encourages governmental and civil entities to collaborate for a more equitable Liberia. “It’s time to hold those in power accountable and reclaim what has been stolen from the people of Liberia,” declared Reverend Doctor Jallah, emphasizing the need for a collective commitment to reform.
The organization also urged all officials to comply with legal standards to enhance transparency and governance. Reverend Doctor Jallah stated, “We stand in support of transparency, justice, and good governance,” calling for prompt, effective actions against corruption across all sectors.
