Hails their Role in Strengthening Liberia’s Fight Against Corruption.
RELEASE
Monrovia, Liberia- Finance and Development Planning Minister Hon. Augustine Kpehe Ngafuan has hailed the arrival of two senior forensic experts from FTI Consulting as a significant step in President Boakai’s fight against corruption.
The experts will assist in tracing and recovering assets obtained through illicit means, a move Ngafuan describes as “good news” for the nation.
“The Assets Recovery and Property Retrieval Task Force (AREPT) is not working alone anymore. AREPT brought in independent partners, which is a clear sign of the government’s commitment to fighting corruption and recovering stolen assets,” Minister Ngafuan stated.
He emphasized that the success of this initiative would directly benefit the Liberian people, particularly the impoverished citizens who are eager for the government to recover stolen wealth.
Minister Ngafuan made these remarks during a courtesy visit from forensic experts Andrew Durant and Wayne Anthony Friday at the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning.
The Minister reiterated President Joseph Nyuma Boakai’s strong stance on asset recovery and anti-corruption efforts, praising the President as a man of integrity.
“Although corruption often fights back, good will ultimately prevail,” Minister Ngafuan asserted.
He pledged his full support and cooperation to the Assets Recovery and Property Retrieval Taskforce, wishing them every success in their mission.
On behalf of the team, FTI Consulting Senior Managing Director Andrew Durant expressed enthusiasm about joining the fight against corruption in Liberia.
The team was accompanied by Cllr. Edwin Kla Martin, Chairman of the AREPT.
