Days after the Center for Transparency and Accountability in Liberia (CENTAL) through its Executive Director Anderson Miamen called on President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, to immediately suspend Stanley Ford, director general of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), the Liberian Leader has taken said action.
The involvement of Stanley Ford and others over alleged misappropriation of one million United States Dollars being disbursed in the name of the Comptroller of the institution continues to spark concerns thereby prompting the Anti-Corruption institution to have made said call.
The call by the CENTAL and other anti graft institutions prompted President Joseph Boakai to suspend with immediate effect, Stanley Ford, Director General of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) for allegations of financial and other malpractices at the institution.
The President’s latest decision is in line with commitment made during a BBC interview where he assured that there is no tolerance for any form of malpractice.
President Joseph Boakai directed the Ministry of Justice to undertake a comprehensive investigation into the matter. The Liberian Leader expressed confidence that the investigation will ensure that justice is served.
According to an Executive Mansion Release , the President urged Mr. Ford to submit himself to the investigation and cooperates fully to make sure that the matter is resolved expeditiously.
The release indicated that the move by the Liberian Leader is a clear demonstration of his commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that public officials are held accountable for their actions.
