MONROVIA, Liberia — The Liberia Anti‑Corruption Commission (LACC) on Wednesday launched its Five‑Year Strategic Plan (2026–2030) at the Royal Grand Hotel in Monrovia, outlining a renewed push for integrity, accountability, and transparency across the public sector.
Senior Presidential Advisor Dr. Augustine Konneh officially launched the plan and reaffirmed the government’s support for the LACC’s mandate. LACC Executive Chairperson Cllr. Alexandra K. Zoe highlighted achievements and challenges, and said the Legislature is reviewing the Commission’s request to establish a Specialized Anti‑Corruption Court—an objective the LACC expects to realize within the plan period.
Vice Executive Chairperson Ernest R. Hughes called the strategy “a call to action for all Liberians,” stressing that the roadmap depends on collective responsibility, collaboration, and courage. He thanked the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), diplomatic missions, and international partners for technical and moral support, describing the launch as “the beginning of a new chapter—one defined by courage, collaboration, and unwavering resolve.”
UN Resident Representative Aliou Mamadou Dia commended the milestone and noted Liberia’s movement on Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index—from 25/100 to 27/100, and from 145th to 135th of 180 countries—calling it “a historic breakthrough, the first notable progress in many years.” He cautioned, however, that corruption remains a major obstacle to growth and urged united action. The event drew representatives of donor and development partners, civil society, integrity institutions, UNDP, and the Government of Liberia, all reaffirming support for the anti‑corruption drive.
