President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr. launched the Performance Management and Compliance System (PMCS) at the EJS Ministerial Complex in Congo Town, Liberia. This event was attended by government officials, development partners, and stakeholders.
In his address, President Boakai stated that the PMCS represents Liberia’s commitment to responsible governance. “The launch of the PMCS signifies not just the introduction of a new system but the strengthening of a major commitment: our dedication to delivering effective and accountable government for every Liberian citizen,” he said.
The PMCS is part of the Administration’s ARREST agenda focusing on accountability and governance. It sets performance standards for ministries, agencies, and commissions for real-time monitoring.
“We want our citizens to see a government that listens, responds, and delivers,” President Boakai added. He also addressed public concerns about corruption, promising integrity in dealing with accusations. “Our approach will be vigilant and thorough, but also fair, ensuring that due process is upheld as we address any allegations of corruption,” he noted.
He recognized the role of development partners like the United Nations Development Programme in implementing PMCS. The success of this system depends on collaboration among public servants and partners.
President Boakai called for public support: “Let us move forward with determination, knowing that today marks a turning point in our journey toward good governance, integrity, and accountability.”
The PMCS aims to hold officials accountable for resource use and fulfilling promises to Liberians. The Administration encourages collective effort from all parties toward improving governance in Liberia.
