Monrovia – In the wake of health officials’ admittance that some testing agents are receiving bribe to change the results of people testing positive for COVID-19, the National Civil Society Council of Liberia (NCSCL) has called on the Government of Liberia to immediately outsource the testing processes to a more professional and trusted group like the World Health Organization to stop people from dying unnecessarily. This, the council believes, will give Liberians and its international partners confidence in the handling of the COVID-19 situation on the ground. The NCSCL: “It would make the world to know that, like other countries around us, Liberia is serious about our fight against this deadly virus. Speaking on the issue for the first time, the Civil Society Council said it is troubled and appalled by the revelation made by NPHIL, alluding to the unprofessional, unethical and dangerous practice of extortion and fraud in the national COVID-19 testing and results processes. The Council said this is more compelling when global health experts are predicting terrible future for the African people in the face of the fight on COVID-19.
