The lecture provided a platform for Cllr. Zoe to expand the young women’s understanding of corruption, its impact on society, and the importance of recognizing and preventing corrupt practices from an early stage. Cllr. Zoe encouraged the participants to develop a strong sense of integrity and understand that the fight against corruption begins with individual choices and responsible citizenship.
A Corruption Risk Assessment is a preventive process that examines an institution’s policies, procedures, systems, and operations to identify weaknesses or vulnerabilities that could create opportunities for corruption. It is not an investigation of individuals or a determination that corruption has occurred; rather, it is intended to identify and address risks before they materialize.
Mr. Fumbah travelled to South Africa from September 14–20, 2026, representing the LACC as one of Liberia’s three permanent Authorizers under the SecFin Africa Project, a €46.5 million, four-year initiative co-financed by the European Union, Germany, and France and implemented with key international partners, including the Swedish Tax Agency.
The exercise focused on reviewing the Commission’s existing investigation procedures and proposed amendments to ensure that the SOPs remain responsive to the operational needs of the Monitoring and Investigation Department and continue to effectively support the LACC in carrying out its anti-corruption mandate.
The engagement focused on strengthening the LACC’s institutional capacity, including asset verification, investigation and prosecution, legal sanctions for non-compliant asset declarants, and resource mobilization.
