-G. Gedeh Bar urges LACC
The Grand Gedeh Bar Association (GGBA) reminds the Liberia Anti-corruption Commission (LACC) that delaying investigations into internal allegations of corruption against its Vice Chairperson, now acting Executive Chairperson, Cllr Kanio Bai Gbala, further bruised the anti-graft institution that has long struggled to win public confidence.
The Bar advises the commission to heed calls for a probe and make findings public as a clean start after the gloomy era of Cllr A. Ndubusi Nwabudike who resigned recently under public pressure.
The Commission could not rightly move forward pursuing wide ranging prosecutorial power to address public sector and related corruption without the commission dealing with its own internal allegations of corruption.
The Bar is concerned not, only that the allegations made by LACC Executive Director, Mohammed E. Fahnbulleh further tainted the image of the LACC, and potentially undermined its standing to fight corruption, but the reputation of Cllr Gbala, who`s also Vice President of the Grand Gedeh Bar.
The outcome of an impartial probe would serve a valuable purpose to establish whether Cllr Gbala was wanting or whether Atty. Fahnbulleh was engaged in a libelous campaign to undermine the prospect of Cllr Gbala taking over the LACC as Executive Chairperson proper.
