President Boakai Calls on Former Gov’t Officials To Turn Over Government Assets

Monrovia,, Liberia – The President of Liberia Joseph Nyumah Boakai has with immediate effect mandated all former government officials to turn over public assets that are still in their positions.

According to the Presidential Press Secretary Madam Kula Fofana on Friday, February 2, 2024, during a press briefing, all public assets are to be delivered to the General Services Agency (GSA).

She stated that the President has constituted a government assets retriever team, the team will among other duties identify, trace, and retrieve all assets in Liberia or abroad.

The assets retriever team will be charged with investigating assets and working with the relevant agency to prosecute those found criminally liable.

“The President is asking all former government officials, in and out of Liberia, to please turn over assets belonging to the government if you have not done that.”

This move by the President is based on the delay by ex-government officials to turn over government assets to the General Services Agency.

President Boakai has placed a premium on the highest standards of commitment, integrity, and patriotism as hallmarks of public service, and has been urging officials of government to exercise and demonstrate these principles at all times.
