President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr., has suspended three senior officials of the Liberia Refugee Repatriation and Resettlement Commission (LRRRC) amid allegations of financial misconduct. The individuals affected are Executive Director Patrick Worzie, Deputy Executive Director for Operations Richard Hoff, and Deputy Executive Director for Administration AJ Armah Karneh.
The suspensions are effective immediately and will continue without pay until a comprehensive investigation is conducted by the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC). A report submitted to the President’s office outlined questionable financial activities involving these officials and others within the LRRRC.
In response, President Boakai has instructed that all implicated personnel return government and LRRRC assets to the Commission’s Human Resource Director, who will assume immediate responsibility. The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission is tasked with launching a full investigation into these allegations. The suspended officials are expected to cooperate fully with the LACC to facilitate a prompt and transparent inquiry.
President Boakai emphasizes his commitment to ethical governance, accountability, and transparency in all government institutions.
