— LACC’s asset declaration reports say Kruah is worth US$1.9 million. Counselor Cooper Kruah, the Justice Minister- and Attorney General-designate, on Tuesday, February 6, declared his assets with the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) worth US$1,942,240 plus LD$7.00. The assets covered the period from 1980 up to and including February 2024, according to the LACC's Assets Declaration and Verification Section dated February 6, 2024. Kruah’s declaration comes just a day before he appears before the Senate for his confirmation hearing scheduled for Thursday, February 7. Many believe his nomination contradicts the role of the Attorney General and undermines President Joseph Boakai’s expressed quest for accountability and the rule of law.
