-UNMIL’s SRSGs Reveal in Separate InterviewsA book published about the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) has synchronized views of the Special Representatives of the Secretary-General and concluded that corruption, tribal and sectional divide and poverty pose challenges to Liberia’s stability. Jacque Paul Klein, the first SRSG to serve as head of UNMIL, has a background in a military career. GEMAP was meant to tackle corruption in high places and to set the pace for good governance in financial management. The SRSG noted that widespread poverty was not only the problem responsible for the health crisis, but also corruption was another factor. Farid Zarif, the last SRSG for UNMIL in Liberia, led the mission to a close on March 31, 2018.
