*📰Liberian President Suspends Over 450 Officials for Asset Declaration Failures* *FOLLOW THIS CHANNEL✅* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaCpFg0ICVfdASZ22l39 Liberian President Joseph Boakai has suspended more than 450 high-ranking government officials, including ministers, for failing to declare their assets to the anti-corruption agency. They will be off work without pay for one month or until they submit the required declarations. Boakai stated that these officials violated the code of conduct by not being transparent about their assets, undermining efforts to combat corruption and ensure accountability. The suspended officials include ministers of education and health, special envoys for tourism and investment, and staff from the Executive Mansion. The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) published the names of all affected officials, as legally required. Boakai highlighted that asset declaration is essential for promoting transparency and rebuilding public trust. Some suspended officials have begun complying with the requirement, while reactions to the suspensions have been mixed. Political analyst Abdullah Kiatamba supports the president’s stance but notes challenges in asset declaration. Meanwhile, civil society group Solidarity and Trust for a New Day criticized the suspensions as a "symbolic gesture" lacking seriousness. -BBC
