By Amos HarrisThe Center for Transparency and Accountability in Liberia (CENTAL) has expressed qualified support for President Joseph N. Boakai’s anti-corruption agenda, noting that while several policy commitments are promising, significant gaps remain in translating these intentions into tangible accountability. CENTAL Executive Director Anderson Miamen acknowledged specific improvements in financial oversight, particularly the work of the General Auditing Commission (GAC). The GAC successfully completed 94 out of 105 planned audits, including a high-stakes Domestic Debt Audit covering 2018 to 2023. CENTAL argued that after more than a year of operation, the task force should have produced more visible results, especially given the various audit reports and U.S. sanctions targeting former officials. The group further aimed at the Legislature’s Public Accounts Committees, accusing them of undermining the GAC’s credibility by delaying reviews of audit reports and failing to enforce accountability.
