Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Center for Transparency and Accountability in Liberia (CENTAL) Executive Director Anderson Miamen says the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC)-led government has continued to decline drastically in the fight against corruption.<\/p>\n

Mr. Miamen made the claim while speaking as a special guest at the Borough Intellectual and Development Forum over the weekend in New Kru Town, Bushrod Island.<\/p>\n

He said the country continues to decline in the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) report.<\/p>\n

CENTAL is a civil society institution that champions the fight against corruption and promotes transparency and accountability in national governance.<\/p>\n

Mr. Miamen said the CDC regime met Liberia\u2019s score in the fight against corruption at 32 as reported by the CPI and other international institutions in 2018.<\/p>\n

He detailed that in CPI\u2019s 2021 report launched in 2022, Liberia dropped to 29 and again declined by 3 points, thus scoring 26 in the CPI report released in 2023.<\/p>\n

Mr. Miamen noted that the highest score Liberia ever had was 41 as quoted by the CPI, and ranked 75 among 175 targeted countries.<\/p>\n

Mr. Miamen stressed that the CPI report is done in such a way that countries will have low scores, indicating a high increase in the practice of massive corruption. He said the higher the score, the lower corruption is practiced.<\/p>\n

The CENTAL Boss told the forum that it is so frustrating that corruption persists despite the availability and efforts of several integrity institutions across the country.<\/p>\n

He called on the citizens to demand accountability and transparency from their national leaders.<\/p>\n

Miamen said it is worrisome that those in power continue to abuse the country\u2019s resources to the detriment of the ordinary people.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the October 10, 2023 presidential and legislative elections, Mr. Miamen admonished Liberians to examine themselves and determine what is best for them.<\/p>\n

He said the citizens have the responsibility to critique those wanting state power and try to graduate from begging them for handouts in the name of poverty.<\/p>\n

He urged them to set high standards and project people who have a track record in terms of transparency and accountability before entrusting them with national leadership.<\/p>\n

Mr. Miamen also called on Liberians to rate the performances of previously elected officials, while most of them are seeking re-election in the October 10, 2023 polls.<\/p>\n

At the same time, he encouraged citizens to express their feelings to their leaders without the use of invectives.<\/p>\n

According to him, it is the responsibility of the people to be civil, respectful, and bold to speak truth to power in the faces of their leaders.<\/p>\n
