This is not a witch hunt, as some quarters have suggested. Our approach is steadfast,\u201d Minister Piah affirmed.<\/p>\n<p>Acknowledging the perception of a political rift surrounding the assets recovery endeavors, Minister Piah emphasized the importance of accountability in governance.<\/p>\n<p>He stated, \u201cOur fight for accountability, whether through asset recovery or establishing a war crimes court, is integral to our nation\u2019s progress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese efforts are interconnected; we cannot prioritize one over the other,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Despite challenges and criticism, Minister Piah assured the public of the government\u2019s steadfastness in ensuring the success of the asset recovery process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegardless of the obstacles we face, our resolve remains unyielding. We will continue to pursue what is right for our country,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, Minister Piah reaffirmed the government\u2019s commitment to its rescue mandate, citing President Boakai\u2019s leadership as a guiding principle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Boakai\u2019s administration is dedicated to the rescue mission. Every action we take, including the comprehensive audit and accountability measures across all government entities, is with the intent of advancing this cause,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
