The Civil Service Agency (CSA) has directed all government Ministries, Agencies, Commissions (MACs), and other public institutions to immediately process the dismissal of civil servants named in President Joseph Nyuma Boakai Sr.’s recent directive linked to ongoing narcotics investigations.
The move follows an official communication from the Executive Mansion announcing the President’s decision to dismiss, suspend, and investigate several public officials and government employees allegedly connected to drug-related activities.
In a statement issued Friday, the CSA said it fully supports President Boakai’s actions, describing them as a strong demonstration of the government’s commitment to accountability, integrity, the rule of law, and the fight against drug trafficking within the public sector.
The Agency instructed all institutions employing civil servants identified in the Executive Mansion’s release to process the appropriate dismissal instruments in accordance with the Civil Service Standing Orders and established Human Resource Management policies.
According to the CSA, once the dismissal process is completed, the affected institutions must immediately forward executed dismissal letters and all supporting personnel documents to the Agency. The documents will enable the CSA to update official personnel records and implement payroll actions to remove the dismissed employees from the Government of Liberia’s payroll.
The Agency emphasized that the directive is intended to ensure the prompt implementation of the President’s orders while preserving the integrity of the country’s civil service system.
“The Civil Service Agency remains committed to working closely with all Government institutions to ensure the timely and smooth implementation of presidential directives while safeguarding the integrity, credibility, and accountability of Liberia’s public service,” the statement said.
The CSA further stressed that there is no place in the public service for individuals whose actions undermine public confidence, national security, or the rule of law.
It noted that Liberia’s personnel and payroll management systems must continue to reflect the highest standards of professionalism, transparency, and accountability, adding that swift administrative action is essential to maintaining public trust in government institutions.
