CDC’s Isaac Doe Questions LACC Over USD 180,000 Payment to single Individual…
CDC stalwart Isaac Doe is demanding clarity from the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) after the institution failed to explain why a check valued at USD 180,000 was issued in the name of a private individual instead of an entity. According to Doe, rather than addressing the core corruption concerns raised, the LACC chose to launch political attacks against the whistleblower who exposed the questionable transaction.
Doe noted that any serious reader of the LACC’s press statement would have expected answers to key questions: Why was the check issued? For what purpose? Why to an individual and not a registered institution? Who authorized the transaction—and what service, if any, was performed for such a large sum? Instead, he said, “the once corruption‐fighter has gone rogue, responding with insults and strange political slangs.”
Sources within the LACC—three employees who reportedly spoke on condition of anonymity—told Doe’s team that such payments to individuals are “highly unusual” and not part of the institution’s operational practices. They further revealed that the payment was allegedly made shortly after a meeting between senior officials of the Unity Party and LACC management, raising even more suspicion. “Why would LACC issue such a huge payment to a non-business individual immediately following that meeting?” Doe questioned.
Adding to the concern, Doe says his team has obtained information about another multi-million Liberian-dollar payment, also made to an individual on the same date. Verification is ongoing, but he insists the pattern is troubling.
Doe stressed that the reckless handling of public funds—particularly involving institutions meant to protect integrity—poses a grave danger at a time when ordinary Liberians continue to struggle in “shameful poverty.” According to him, every citizen should be alarmed by the emerging signs of financial misconduct and political interference in the country’s anti-corruption systems.
