MONROVIA — The concerned staff of the Financial Intelligence Agency (FIA) has issued a formal demand to the inter-ministerial committee calling for the immediate suspension of Mr. Stanley Ford, the current Director General of the FIA. This call to action stems from ongoing investigations into alleged internal corruption amounting to a staggering US$6.2 million.
The allegations, centered around financial misconduct, have prompted the staff to insist on Mr. Ford’s suspension to ensure a fair and unbiased investigation. The staff members, led by Nyema Tarley, underscore the necessity of Mr. Ford’s removal to prevent any potential interference or manipulation of the investigation process.
“At this critical juncture, it is imperative for the integrity of the FIA to be upheld,” stated Nyema Tarley, reflecting the sentiments of the concerned staff. “Allowing Mr. Ford to continue in his role while under investigation casts doubt on the credibility of the entire process.”
The investigation, spearheaded by the LACC (Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission), focuses on a sum of US$6.2 million allegedly deposited into the FIA account without proper authorization in the national budget fiscal 2022/2023.
