The Assets Recovery and Property Retrieval Taskforce (AREPT), under the leadership of Cllr. Edwin Kla Martin, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Financial Intelligence Agency (FIA) of Liberia to deepen collaboration in the national fight against corruption and theft of public resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This<\/a> strategic partnership aligns with President Joseph Nyuma Boakai\u2019s mandate to retrieve every stolen asset and promote transparency and accountability across government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking<\/a> during the signing ceremony, the Officer-in-Charge of the FIA, Mohammed Ali Nasser, reaffirmed the agency\u2019s commitment to the taskforce\u2019s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are here to fight corruption and will give AREPT all the necessary support,\u201d Mr. Nasser said. \u201cThere are predicate offences that lead to money laundering that we are targeting, and those are some of the things AREPT is after too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For<\/a> his part, Cllr. Edwin Kla Martin lauded the FIA, describing the agreement as a bold step toward changing the narrative around corruption in Liberia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we can’t curtail it, we must initiate a process that stops it,\u201d Cllr. Martin stated. \u201cWe have the endorsement and support of the President to fight corruption, and as foot soldiers in this process, we must take the bull by the horn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#This<\/a> MoU lays the groundwork for improved data sharing, joint investigations, and a united front in recovering assets that rightfully belong to the Liberian people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
