Speaking to the press in an interview, President Boakai said, if the country is to succeed, the right thing must be done through transparency.

“As leaders, we have a challenge in this country because we need to lead by example. I declared my assets today because I think that’s the right thing to do. We must act morally and responsibly if we hope to advance, flourish, and leave this nation as a future for the next generation.”

“In order for them to evaluate me in the future, I therefore disclose my assets to ensure that they are aware of what I am bringing to the table. Thus, in fulfilling my pledge, this is what I’ve done.”
