Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Mr. K. Boboh Kollie, the executive director of (organization name), attributed Liberia\u2019s underdevelopment to a lack of accountability and transparency in the management of the country\u2019s natural resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiberia, being the oldest African country, is underdeveloped at this time due to our own mismanagement of our resources,\u201d Kollie said at a one-day workshop that brought together civil society actors and the media.<\/p>\n

According to him, the intent of the workshop is to bring the media and civil society actors together to raise awareness of corrupt practices by key public and private officials in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that it will be difficult to control corruption, but with our collective efforts, we will minimize it,\u201d Kollie said.<\/p>\n

Kollie observed that the failure to adequately raise awareness around the issues of corruption has prompted concern among donor partners.<\/p>\n

He said the government has refused to investigate and punish several public officials accused by the US Department of the Treasury since 2014 up to the present.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Pulate Johnson, (position and organization), said the fight against corruption needs to begin from bottom to top.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot start fighting corruption from the top. We have to start from the bottom. This is how we can get to the root cause of corruption in the country,\u201d he maintained.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt should start from our very homes, workplaces by refusing to engage with issues relating to corrupt practices, to help make the anti-corruption stance work,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

The training was funded by the United Nations Development (UND), Denmark, Luxembourg, the Republic of Korea, and Sweden.<\/p>\n
