While Karngar resigned shortly after the report’s release, CENTAL faulted President Boakai for merely accepting the resignation without referencing the investigative findings or initiating further legal action. In light of these developments, CENTAL is urging the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) to take full control of the matter. Furthermore, the organization demands the full implementation of the investigative report’s recommendations, including the recovery of extorted funds and the filing of criminal charges. CENTAL highlighted that the contrasting handling of the Karngar and Hughes cases reflects an emerging and dangerous pattern of selective enforcement. This perceived inconsistency, CENTAL warns, could erode public trust and embolden corrupt practices across the bureaucracy.
