The LACC delegation, comprising Vice Executive Chairperson Mr. Ernest Hughes, Executive Assistant/Program Manager to the Executive Chairperson, Ms. Vivian Akoto, and the Program Manager for Education & Prevention, Mr. John Tommy, spent the week engaging with Anti-Corruption Commission Sierra Leone_Official and other critical stakeholders.
During the welcome ceremony at ACC’s Integrity House in Freetown, LACC Vice Executive Chairperson Ernest Hughes emphasized the importance of beginning institutional reforms with a trusted neighbor, citing the strong historical ties between Liberia and Sierra Leone. He also expressed interest in formalizing a twinning arrangement with the ACC to enhance joint efforts in combating corruption.
On Friday, July 25, 2025, the two institutions formalized their collaboration through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at the LACC headquarters in Monrovia. This strategic alliance marks a significant step toward enhancing coordination in the prevention, investigation, and prosecution of financial misconduct.
Earlier this year, LRA Commissioner General Mr. James Dorbor Jallah issued a directive mandating all LRA staff to declare their assets to the LACC, recognizing the importance of transparency in a revenue-generating institution that must lead by example. That exercise has now concluded, and the results are historic.
