A major corruption scandal has emerged within the Monrovia City Corporation (MCC), implicating two high-ranking officials in what is being described as a deliberate scheme of forgery and financial misappropriation.
According to a statement from the City government, preliminary investigations have revealed that Mr. Weemongar P. James, Financial Comptroller of the MCC, allegedly falsified revenue receipts, while Mr. Solomon J. Blayee, the Manager of Community Outreach, is accused of forging documents and engaging in revenue theft.
The initial findings indicate that both officials allegedly conspired to forge the signature of Mayor John-Charuk Siafa to unlawfully withdraw funds from the corporation’s account. The fraudulent transactions are reported to have taken place at Afriland Bank in Monrovia, reportedly with the collaboration of an employee at the financial institution.
The City government has launched a formal investigation into the matter, and there are growing public calls for full transparency. “Mayor John-Charuk Siafa, please make the investigative report public because we already have the information,” one concerned citizen said, urging immediate disclosure of the findings.
While no official charges have yet been filed, the case has sparked widespread concern over governance and accountability within the MCC. Citizens and civil society groups are calling for swift action to ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
The MCC has not issued a timeline for the completion of the investigation, but authorities assured the public that the matter is being treated with urgency and seriousness.
