As the World celebrates Anti-Corruption Day today, December 9, 2022, the Liberia Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (LEITI) is calling on all Liberians to unconditionally participate in the fight against the menace of corruption in the Country’s Extractive industries. The Secretariat believes Liberia is no exception to countries losing so much of their Domestic Resources from the Extractive Sector to Illicit Financial Flows, Tax Evasion, Corruption, and Fraud. The Secretariat is firmly convinced that revenue from the extractive sector can double in Liberia if the fights against Illicit Financial Flow, Tax Evasion, Corruption, and Fraud in the extractive sector change from Words to Deeds!! Consequently, changing from words to deeds will require strong political will, independence, sincerity, commitment, and budgetary support for Integrity Institutions.
