LWSC and Transport Ministry Linked to Alleged Bribery Plot to Oust House Speaker

Monrovia – The Liberia Water and Sewer Corporation (LWSC) and the Ministry of Transport are now at the center of an investigation for allegedly funneling US$750,000 used to bribe lawmakers in a scheme to remove the Speaker of the House.

The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) has confirmed it is investigating these claims. In an official statement, the LACC revealed it had received multiple complaints from stakeholders, prompting the launch of a formal investigation.

Cllr. Alexandra K. Zoe, Executive Chairperson of the LACC, stated that the Commission is treating the matter with utmost seriousness, emphasizing that such bribery attempts pose a severe threat to the integrity of the country’s democratic processes. “These allegations represent a grave breach of trust in our elected officials and a disruption to the rule of law,” said Zoe.

The alleged US$750,000 payment is believed to have been coordinated through the accounts of the Ministry of Transport and the LWSC, sparking public outcry and a demand for thorough scrutiny of the financial dealings of both entities. The LACC is working alongside the Ministry of Justice (MOJ), the Financial Intelligence Agency (FIA), and other relevant bodies to gather evidence and establish the truth behind these allegations.

Cllr. Zoe emphasized that the investigation will be conducted fairly, with due process for all parties involved. The LACC called on the public, lawmakers, and officials to cooperate fully with the inquiry, while also urging patience to allow the investigation to proceed without interference or speculation.

The LACC’s chairperson further reiterated the institution’s zero-tolerance policy towards corruption, stating, “Bribery is illegal and unacceptable, and anyone involved, regardless of status or position, will face the full weight of the law.”

The LACC vowed to take swift action against any individuals found complicit in this alleged corruption scheme.
