LIBERIAN PREZ BOAKAI SUSPENDS OVER 450 GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS

Liberia is taking a bold stand against government corruption. Its president has just put 450 officials on unpaid leave - for failing to declare their assets. Many are already rushing to file their paperwork. It will go some way to appeasing a population angry at the perceived self-enrichment of crooked officials amid a cost-of-living crisis. It’s also in contrast to the previous administration of Gerorge Weah, which was mired in greed and graft scandals.

As Africa continues its march towards true sovereignty, this kind of leadership is crucial in dismantling Western-backed economic policies where a select few act as intermediaries for neocolonial plunder.
