Liberia, especially its densely populated and seemingly clean capital Monrovia, has been gripped with mixed reactions and political in-fights since the exposure of a corruption syndicate report by a renowned UK-based corruption watchdog group, Global Witness.

Ordinary people walking the streets of Monrovia and riding in taxis and other modes of transport as well as in other parts of the country that have been informed about the report, are not only hearing what is going on, but are engaging in self-explanation and analysis; thus widening the dissemination of the document like a wide fire.

It is quite interesting to note how this report gained such an instantaneous interest even more than that most recently gruesome and mysterious death of President Sirleaf’s former “Oil Company” Liberia Petroleum Refining Company’s Managing Director Harry Greaves.
