Monrovia – Former Deputy Minister at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Amos Tweh, has reacted to the special audit report of the Internal Audit Agency (IAA) which established that several Presidential appointees who either resigned or were dismissed received their regular monthly salary for several months after their dismissal or resignation. According to the IAA report, US$31,228.40 and L$872,816 were recovered from Tweh which were paid as salary from May 2015 until January 2016. When I showed my bank statement to the President she was shocked, she was surprised so she immediately commended me. The payroll of Presidential appointees is processed by the office of the Controller and Accountant General and the Assistant Minister of Expenditure at MFDP. Presidential appointees receive 80% of their salary in U.S. dollars and 20% in Liberian dollars.
