Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The General Auditing Commission (GAC), has indicted the Ministry of Justice for misappropriation of U$19,000, intended to feed inmates at the Monrovia Central Prisoners.<\/p>\n

Justice Ministry authorities claimed the money was used for security operations in Gbarpolu County during the 2020 Special Senatorial Elections.<\/p>\n

The Justice Ministry management of the prison system in Liberia has been termed poor and conditions in prisons deplorable.<\/p>\n

A GAC report to Liberia\u2019s Legislature said several recommendations intended to improve conditions in prisons have yet to be implemented by the Justice Ministry.<\/p>\n

The report said the Monrovia Central Prison, intended for 374 inmates, has over 1,236 inmates, a serious problem of overcrowding and fear of outbreak of communicable diseases.<\/p>\n

Prison authorities said the quality of food for inmates is poor, with one meal a day, due to limited government budgetary support.<\/p>\n

The monthly budget of US$5,000 for food has been cut to US$3,000.00.<\/p>\n

Water supply and health care service at various prisons in Liberia are said to be poor due to insufficient funding by the government, which recently announced a national budget of over US$785. million for fiscal year 2021-2022.<\/p>\n
