Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>US Ambassador Michael McCarthy has disclosed it is Liberians and not the US government that are responsible for ensuring good governance in Liberia, using the ballot box as a tool to punish corrupt officials.<\/p>\n

He claims that the US sanctions of three Liberian officials in August demonstrated his government\u2019s will to employ sanctions as needed on an ongoing basis, in support of \u201cour shared development, democracy, and security goals,\u201d but if Liberian opt to elect or reelect sanctioned officials as their leaders, that will send a very clear message about how they feel about the battle against corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cSanctions can help, but the ballot box is a far more important tool for holding officials accountable,\u201d he said. \u201cIn the upcoming 2023 elections, however, it will be the turn of the people of Liberia to let their voices be heard on this topic, especially since several of those sanctioned officials may be running for office.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUltimately, it is Liberians and not the U.S. government that are responsible for ensuring good governance in Liberia. Sanctions can help, but the ballot box is a far more important tool for holding officials accountable. If Liberians choose to elect or re-elect sanctioned officials as their leaders, that will send a very clear signal about how they truly feel about the fight against corruption and the future of their country.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCarthy noted that Liberians have generally agreed with the US analysis that corruption is the primary cause of Liberia\u2019s failure to thrive; most in the international community share that assessment, and so, the upcoming 2023 election, for holding officials accountable.<\/p>\n

The Ambassador\u2019s position comes at a time when many Liberians are calling for additional sanctions after the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of Treasury sanctioned three important members of the Weah led administration (OFAC).<\/p>\n

Nathaniel McGill, Sayma Syrenius Cephus, and Bill Twehway were sanctioned for their alleged involvement in ongoing public corruption in Liberia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough their corruption these officials have undermined democracy in Liberia for their own personal benefit,\u201d said Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian E. Nelson. \u201cTreasury\u2019s designations today demonstrate that the United States remains committed to holding corrupt actors accountable and to the continued support of the Liberian people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even though the three officials willingly left their positions, the public still thinks that many more officials of the current administration need to be sanctioned because there has since been speculation of corruption ever since they took office in 2018.<\/p>\n

Before the issuing of the ambassador\u2019s open letter to Liberia yesterday, there had been rumors both on social media and other public places that the U.S government could release more sanctions on December 9, the international An-ti Corruption Day.<\/p>\n

He added that while corruption is not unique to Liberia \u2013 the onus is on the country\u2019s citizens to fight this scourge, saying the US Department of the Treasury took the extraordinary step of sanctioning five senior Liberian officials in only three years under the Global Magnitsky Act led to some positive results, including the resignation of the three most recently sanctioned officials.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I\u2019ve said many times before, corruption is not a uniquely Liberian problem \u2013 it is a global issue, and one that we suffer from in the United States at all levels of governance. We must together acknowledge that corruption in Liberia can be immediately and dramatically curtailed BY LIBERIANS, without any assistance from the United States or other donors, if that is something the government and people of Liberia truly want. Where there\u2019s a will, there\u2019s a way.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe all important goal of transparent, free, credible, and peaceful elections in October (2023) will be one important factor in decisions about additional sanctions in the months leading up to the vote.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the Ambassador revealed his government is not announcing any new sanction, but assure citizens that his government anti-corruption efforts remain robust and continuous. International Anti-corruption Day raises public awareness for anti-corruption, and encourages the public to work on innovative solutions aimed at winning the battle against corruption. Corruption is defined as dishonest or fraudulent conduct.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the Global Magnitsky sanctions of three Liberian officials in August demonstrated, the U.S. government can and will employ sanctions as needed on an ongoing basis, in support of our shared development, democracy, and security goals, guided by the U.S. Strategy on Countering Corruption,\u201d said ambassador McCarthy.<\/p>\n

However, it is McGill, the former Minister of State for Presidential Affairs and chief of staff to President George Weah; and Twehway, the former managing director of the National Port Authority (NPA), who are reportedly eyeing political seats in Margibi and Rivercess counties, respectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe all important goal of transparent, free, credible, and peaceful elections in October will be one important factor in decisions about additional sanctions in the months leading up to the vote,\u201d the ambassador said.<\/p>\n

According to him, Global Magnitsky is a tool the United States uses to protect itself from particularly corrupt actors, not a punishment against a country or government.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is also in no way a substitute for a domestic judicial process in the host country, including prosecution. Ultimately, \u201cdue process\u201d or an accused\u2019s \u201cday in court\u201d can only happen under Liberian law, in Liberian courts.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, ambassador McCarthy believes that in the upcoming 2023 elections, it will be the turn of Liberians to let their voices be heard.<\/p>\n
