Liberia, like many other countries, has some form of asset declaration requirement for public officials, but the declared assets of most essential government officials are often kept confidential and are prohibited from being made public, especially without their consent.

But this was not the case with former President George Weah, as information from his declared assets was recently brought to the public glare by panelists on Spoon Talk, a popular talk show that is hosted on Spoon Online/FM. The disclosure of Weah's asset information has sparked speculation about the source of the leak, bringing into the limelight the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission .

Zoe mentioned that ongoing investigations are underway to uncover the full extent of the leakages. Preliminary findings suggest that Verdier had requested the asset declarations of the former President and others, contravening LACC's ethical standards. The LACC boss indicated further that other prominent figures' asset declarations, such as former Vice President Jewel Howard-Taylor and former Finance Minister Samuel Tweah, were impacted by similar leaks attributed to Cllr. Verdier.There was a problem processing your submission. Please try again later.

The LACC boss' testimony has vindicated Cllr. Kla Martin, another former LACC Chairperson, was earlier accused of being the one who leaked the information.
