Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Finance and Development Planning Minister, Samuel D. Tweah Jr, has said the government of Liberia remains committed to fiscal transparency.<\/p>\n

He made the disclosure on Tuesday, July 19, at the official inaugural meeting of Liberia\u2019s Fiscal Transparency Advisory Group.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Government remains committed to fiscal transparency by making all of its financial reports and documentation available to the public, for example, these reports are in the print and electronic media outlets, as well as on government\u2019s websites\u201d, Minister Tweah explained.<\/p>\n

The erudite Finance Minister revealed that the government will continue to involve civil society organizations in the budget process to increase fiscal transparency and accountability.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019Because citizens\u2019 participation is key, it\u2019s important for them to know how the government generates and spends public resources \u2018\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n

Hon. Tweah said that public participation gives citizens an opportunity to participate in decision-making, strengthens oversight and improves policy choices.<\/p>\n

The aim of the advisory board is to allow citizens to increase their participation in the government process and to know how the government generates, spends public resources and how they could participate in decision-making.<\/p>\n

For his part, the Open Government Partnership (OGP), Representative, G. Ralph Jimmeh said the establishment of the board is a great achievement and knowledgeable venture in fiscal transparency and open governance.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019 No government has succeeded without the participation of its citizens\u2019\u2019, said Mr. Jimmeh.<\/p>\n

According to him, citizens\u2019 participation is a driver to inclusive national development and sustainable ownership. It also gives citizens access to government, improves governance and solves public participation challenges which promote transparency and accountability thereby making government more efficient.<\/p>\n

He added\u2018\u2019 We believe that the inauguration of the fiscal transparency advisory board is a very fundamental action towards increasing citizens\u2019 participation that produces an open government and stimulates more constructive dialogue between CSO and government.<\/p>\n

It is my hope that the establishment of this fiscal transparency board will increase citizens\u2019 trust and improve public service. Again, these small steps towards fiscal transparency are commendable and intentional delivery of actions that will improve governance.<\/p>\n

This is a positive collaboration between increasing citizens\u2019 participation and the fight against corruption. We called for a more cooperative and collective engagement and we believe that this inauguration board work has begun.<\/p>\n

The fiscal transparency advisors group is established to meet routinely to provide the MFDP with feed and recommendations on the selection, design and implementation of participation mechanisms.<\/p>\n

The advisors\u2019 group has the role of providing the MFDP with feedback and recommendation on the selection, design and implementation of the participation mechanism to be adopted in Liberia.<\/p>\n

The meeting was attended by Government representatives and civil society representatives.<\/p>\n
