LACC

Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) is at the forefront of combating corruption in Liberia. Established in 2008, the LACC plays a crucial role in investigating and prosecuting corrupt practices while also emphasizing education and prevention. The government's commitment to fighting corruption is evident through the National Anti-Corruption Strategy, where the LACC was mandated to address corruption issues.

The LACC has made significant progress despite challenges, including a lack of resources. Recent legislative amendments have empowered the LACC with prosecutorial abilities, allowing for more efficient handling of corruption cases. Additionally, the Whistle Blower Act and Witness Protection Act have been passed to encourage public participation in reporting corruption.

With a focus on transparency, the LACC now oversees assets declaration for all branches of government, streamlining the process to enhance accountability. The LACC's work is pivotal in upholding integrity in Liberia and fostering a corruption-free society.
