โMonrovia, July 4, 2025 โ The Liberia Agriculture Commodity Regulatory Authority (LACRA) has strongly denied reports of a go-slow action by its employees, branding a recent story by the Daily Observer newspaper as false, misleading, and damaging.
โ
โIn a press release issued on Friday, LACRA clarified that contrary to the Daily Observerโs July 2 publication, employees of the institution are not on any form of strike or go-slow action. The management asserted that all staff are actively engaged in carrying out their duties in support of the new leadership headed by Acting Director General, Hon. Dan Saryee.
โ
โโThis report is malicious and baseless. It was published without any attempt to contact the institution for verification,โ the statement read. โWe categorically deny the existence of any go-slow and view this as a deliberate attempt to undermine the credibility and growing progress of LACRA.โ
โ
โThe press release further accused certain individuals of conspiring to tarnish the image of the institution by feeding the public misinformation, and it urged the Liberian public to disregard the Daily Observerโs report in its entirety.
โ
โAccording to the release, LACRA employees have instead rallied around the new management team, expressing their commitment to the agencyโs mission of regulating and improving Liberiaโs agricultural commodity sector. โOur workers remain fully supportive of the leadership and are focused on building a vibrant institution for the benefit of the Liberian people,โ the statement added.
โ
โTo address recent developments and present its forward-looking agenda, LACRA announced that it will hold a major news conference soon. During the event, Acting DG Dan Saryee is expected to outline his vision for institutional reform and modernization.
โ
โThe statement comes amidst mounting allegations that its suspended Director General Christopher Sankolo is financing media outlets to publish damaging reports about the agency.
โ
โThe release signed by Gordon G. Garway, Director of Public Relations at LACRA, comes in the wake of public concern surrounding the recent suspensions of Director General Christopher Sankolo and Deputy Director for Administration Chea B. Garley.
โ
โPresident Joseph Nyuma Boakai suspended the two officials on June 26, 2025, citing financial mismanagement and administrative malpractice.
โ
โIn light of the suspensions, the public has turned its attention to the newly appointed acting leadership of LACRA, watching closely to see whether they will uphold transparency and accountability or follow in the footsteps of their predecessors.
