President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., has commended the Civil Service Agency (CSA) for its decisive action in ensuring compliance with the national asset declaration mandate.
In line with the Administration’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and good governance, the CSA has effectively blocked the salaries of government officials who have failed to adhere to the directive as issued by the President.
To maximize the impact of these funds, the Liberian Leader has directed the CSA to collaborate with the Ministry of Finance & Development Planning (MFDP) to establish an escrow account for the cumulative blocked salaries, amounting to approximately $90,808.56. These funds will be allocated toward the “One Child, One Chair” Presidential Initiative to enhance learning conditions in primary and secondary schools across the country.
Additionally, the President has mandated the CSA to work alongside the Ministry of Education (MOE) to ensure the timely procurement and distribution of chairs to schools in need.
Furthermore, the Bureau of State Enterprises (BSE) has been instructed to implement similar measures for officials of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) who remain suspended due to non-compliance with the asset declaration mandate. The funds derived from these actions will also be redirected to the “One Child, One Chair” initiative.
The President believes that this move reinforces the steadfastness in the mission to uphold integrity in public service while prioritizing policies that directly benefit the people of Liberia, particularly school-going children.
The Liberian Leader calls on all public officials to comply with asset declaration regulations to foster greater accountability.
