Liberian Govt. Gains 12 Points on '08 Perception Corruption Index Print E-mail

ellenLiberian Government Gains Twelve (12) Point on 2008 Perception Corruption Index - Drops from 126 - 138 -Transparency International – Anti- Corruption Watch Dog Group Declares

The West African nation of Liberia has gained twelve (12) points on the county scale of 180 countries rated as effecting actions in the fight against corruption, the International Anti-Corruption watch dog group – Transparency International has disclosed. The gain made by Liberia is contained in the Organization’s 2008 Report.

Liberia ranks 138 on the scale of 180 countries and listed 30 out of 47 countries on the regional country scale and scored 2.4 on the Country Perceptions Index (CPI) respectively. Somalia ranks 180 on the country scale, listed as 47 on the regional country scale and scored 1 (one) on the Country Perception Index.

The TI 2008 Report revealed that" Cape Verde, Ghana, Mali, Benin, Niger, Mauritania, Nigeria, Togo, and Liberia, improved their ranks, with Benin, Nigeria and Togo making significant gains." Founded in 1993, Transparency International has challenged the inevitability of corruption, and offers hope to its victims.President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf 

The 2008 Transparency International (TI) Report revealed that although overall, corruption and lack of transparency clearly remain a serious challenge across the region, Transparency International’s (TI) 2008 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) shows that results in the fight against corruption are mixed. While Benin, Mauritius and Nigeria scored significantly higher this year, Burundi and Somalia saw a significant worsening in their perceived levels of corruption.

The Report added that out of the 47 countries reviewed, 30 scored below 3 indicating that corruption is perceived as rampant there and 14 scored between 3 and 5 indicating that corruption is perceived as a serious challenge by country experts and businessmen. Only three countries scored above the mid-point level of 5: Botswana, Cape Verde and Mauritius.

Political corruption, the Report asserted, also has the power to alter the perceived level of corruption in a country. Nigeria’s score of 2.7 in 2008, up from 2.2 in 2007, reflects increasingly positive domestic and international perceptions of the new government after elections in April 2007 might have facilitated the increase. Recent developments, however, show that Nigeria’s reputation as seriously committed to transparency and accountability, is dependent on the resolve of political leaders to back anti-corruption pledges with concrete action, including ensuring the independence of anti-corruption agencies,.

According to its website, Transparency International is a global civil society organization leading the fight against corruption that brings people together in a powerful worldwide coalition to end the devastating impact of corruption on men, women and children around the world. It adds that Transparency International is a global network including more than 90 locally established national chapters and chapters-in-formation. These bodies, according to the website, fight corruption in the national arena in a number of ways. They bring together relevant players from government, civil society, business and the media to promote transparency in elections, in public administration, in procurement and in business. Established in 1993, Transparency International has its Secretariat in - Berlin, Germany.

The organization continues to play a leading role in improving the lives of millions around the world by building momentum for the anti-corruption movement by raising awareness and diminishes apathy and tolerance of corruption, and devises and implements practical actions to address it.

Founded in 1847 by ex-slaves from the Americas, Liberia has witnessed fifteen years of civil war that vandalized the country’s educational system, disintegrated its health care delivery service and dislodged every fabric of the country’s infrastructures. A Peace accord brokered in 2003 by West African Leaders with support from western governments and the United Nations facilitated the holding of presidential and general elections in late 2006. The Sirleaf administration inherited institutionalized practice and patronage of corruption which has its original to founding of the Liberian state.

The country voted Mrs. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf a former World Bank Executive as the post-war President. Reconstructing schools, health care facilities, providing security and maintaining honesty and fiscal discipline in government are among the challenges facing the new regime.

One of the major challenges facing the Sirleaf administration is the fight against corruption.

Addressing the United Nations General Assembly recently in New York, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf said "Today I come to renew that pledge. I come to report how much progress has been made in the light of what we inherited. "Remember that we inherited a situation where almost two thirds of Liberians lived below the poverty line, with an even higher share in rural areas. "The economy collapsed with GDP falling 90% from 1987 to 1995, one of the largest economic freefalls ever recorded in the world. Indicators on health, education, water and sanitation, food security and infrastructure were very poor, sometimes beyond measure."

The Liberian Chief Executive reported that "The Government in collaboration with civil society undertook broad consultations with the people in all parts of the country." President Sirleaf disclosed that "This resulted in the framework to reduce poverty and to make progress toward the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). The Poverty Reduction Strategy (2008-2011) is anchored on four pillars: Consolidating peace and security; revitalizing the economy; strengthening governance and the rule of law; and, building/rebuilding infrastructure and delivering basic services." President Sirleaf further emphasized that "The people are seeing that the economy has started expanding rapidly, with growth accelerating to over 9% in 2007, roads and buildings sprouting in many places, health clinics and schools reopening or being established where they did not exist before, agricultural production increasing, and a huge external debt well on the way to being cancelled."

She maintained that "There is growing confidence when there are concrete efforts at decentralization to encourage popular participation in the governing process and when corruption is being fought relentlessly, especially where a new Anti-Corruption Commission is, just last week, established with a very strong mandate."

The establishment is an Anti-Corruption Commissioned that is evolved from an Act of the Liberian Legislature provides a legal framework for the fight against corruption. Never before in the history of Liberia has the fight against corruption taken seriously than the Sirleaf administration. For example, fifty cases of alleged corrupt practices are currently being reviewed within the framework of the country’s criminal justice system; senior level officials of a former interim government are answering corruption charges before the country’s court system.

It is important to note that corruption is institutionalized in a country that is classified as a failed state. Therefore the attainment of twelve points on a scale of 180 countries perceived to have challenges of corruption in a relatively short period is a welcome development which certainly must be built upon.

In an interview with the Brown University Herald recently in the United States, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf declared that corruption remains one of her government’s biggest challenges.

President Sirleaf added "I mean we’ve got the laws. We’ve got the regulations. She emphasized that we’ve got all the enforcement procedures." The Chief Executive observed that the foundations of corruption are just so many because it’s so embedded in the many years of depravation, many years of poverty, many years of indiscipline and lawlessness. 

Touching on steps toward fighting corruption, President Sirleaf said "It’s got to be a combination of many things: better working conditions, better compensation, more of the marriage system and then the enforcement of the laws too, so you know there’s a penalty when you betray the public trust."

She told the paper that" people feel ‘Get what you can get!’ when the opportunity exists." adding "So our biggest challenge is how do we turn that around? :It’s got to be a combination of many things: better working conditions, better compensation, more of the marriage system and then the enforcement of the laws too, so you know there’s a penalty when you betray the public trust."

The Brown University Herald quoted President Sirleaf as saying that those involved in corruption can’t see the bigger picture of how it actually impedes her effort to be able to accelerate development and deliver to them the basic services and jobs that they need.

According to UN a supported news agency, IRIN, International donors, including the International Finance Corporation, had called for an anti-corruption commission to fight the legacy of graft and embezzlement following a 14-year brutal civil war that ended in 2003.

In August 2008 the Government of Liberia created an Anti-corruption Commission chaired by former Chief justice of the Liberia’s Supreme Court Mrs. Francis Johnson Morris. The Commission has since begun work.. The TI 2008 Report is in far contrast to critics that dismiss the Government’s gains in the fight against corrupt practices and behaviors in a country graduating from fifteen years of civil war and over hundred and fifty years of institutionalized corruption. Meanwhile, attached is a pdf version of the TI 2008 Corruption Perception Report for your review to enable readers to collaborate this article with reports from other news outlets.

NOTICE THE GARBAGE!!!
Do you see the difference between this story by Mr. Wleh and the FPA garbage, Mr. Wilson? 
 
Here is the headline from this story : Liberian Govt. Gains 12 Points on '08 Perception Corruption Index  
 
Here is the headline from you and FPA garbage: Most Corrupt Nations in the World: Transparency Index- Liberia Among Worst 
 
These are two headlines supposedly from the same report - how can that be Mr. Wilson? Only a gullible person will not notice that the FPA story is a garbage.

I've been saying this all along that Frontpage has political and sensational agendas in its reportage on Liberia. This is why I do not only rely on them for sources of information. It is a sensationalistic attempt at spurning negative sentiment.

My point all along..................
The Frontpageafrica twisted the facts to paint the Government bad. That's yellow journalism. 
 
Frontpageafrica in an attempt to maintain its offensive the government has resulted to engage in yellow journalism at all levels. What a disservice to Liberia and the reading public. 
 
Such story as published by Mr. Kai Wleh to provide a clear line between falsehood and the truth. 
 
The government is making progress, Bravo tl President Sirleaf.

Headline News......
There is not a great difference between the TI Report and that of FPA. 
 
TI REPORT: 
If Liberia gained twelve points than before on the scale, it could simply mean: 
1. Liberia is slowly improving or 
2. While improving slowly, Liberia is still on the list of corrupt nations. Either way, that's not too good. 
 
FPA REPORT: 
If Liberia is on the list of "most corrupt nations", it simply means that we should: 
1. Hurriedly clean up our mess and 
2. Nothing is being done to hurriedly clean up our mess. 
 
Motives: 
Does FPA have a motive? No one knows for sure. Anyone can assume that, but do we really, really know about FPA's motivations? Maybe, FPA is being aggressive unlike other news outlets.  
 
Is the TI Report biased against the government of Liberia? Again, this is a sticky issue. No one can rule in or out anything. Is the TI Report unbiased? It's a bitter pill to swallow. Maybe, maybe not. Let me know if you have solid facts. You can assume because it's human to do so, but, I need solid facts. 
 
Aready Done: 
Would you say that damage has been done because Liberia is exposed as being on the list of corrupt nations? The reputation of Liberia is badly damaged under Ellen Johnson Sirleaf because of these revelations. But it is not damaging per se for the report itself to have been done. If you love someone, you'll do a "constructive engagement" on them. The report was done, it cannot be reversed and so it becomes a fiat accompli. 
 
Room For Compromise: 
TI's report is similar to that of FPA, but the wording is where the trouble seems to be. You see, some people like to be told the truth in the "dark" and some people resent "hiding" behind the bush. The best way to deal with this is to agree that "corruption" is not a mirage (although it cannot be physically seen) it exists in Liberia. Because of this fact, supporters on both sides need to set aside their presuppositions and give reason a chance to prevail. 
Does that mean everyone should sit and do nothing or even ask questions about FPA or TI's report? No, that's not what I mean. Everyone is very honorable, or so I think. 
 
Plan of action: 
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf needs to actuate a plan that will not get stuck in the swamp. It must so aggressive that opponents and supporters of hers will remember that at the end of the day, Liberia can do better than going up by only 12 points. 
 
Headline news can be misleading sometimes. It's the way in which some people frame their words that causes others to think otherwise. Finally, the headline news from TI's report and that of FPA have told the truth..... 
 
Guess what? All of you are proud winners.

Headline News......
Walpo, 
It is nearly 9:00 P.M. in monrovia bit I cannot wait to leave this Internet Cafe before responding to you cheap shot. 
 
I beg to disagree with you. In your attempt to provide a somethwhat objective analysis of the story, you decided to pass judgment that the TI story and the Frontpage story are identical. 
 
That is not the case. For example, in reading Mr. Kai Wleh's article, TI said " Cape Verde, Ghana, Mali, Benin, Niger, Mauritania, Nigeria, Togo, and Liberia, improved their ranks, with Benin, Nigeria and Togo making significant gains."  
 
It did not say Liberia performed worst. Furthermore, the TI report also said that "Burundi and Somalia saw a significant worsening in their perceived levels of corruption." 
 
The report indicated that Burundi and Somalia were worst because they declined. 
 
Do you see the logic? Some of us who live in Liberia are appreciating and seeing what is happenning here. 
 
Compared today's Liberia with the days of Charles Taylor and the war lords governments, we are making progress, even if is one point progress. 
 
But for Frontpageafrica to negate what TI called improvements to non-improvements and you called it the same? Then you need to re-read and check your understanding between improvement and lack of efforts. 
 
Am I pleased with with what is happening in Liberia, I know because I live through it that progress is being made. I can see what is happening around me - improvements. 
 
The government is working hard to turn the tides around. It is better to call a spade a spade. But to live overseas and condemn every progress even as little as it counts is just disservice and yellow journalism. 
 
To this end, Frontpageafrica and TI do not have the same reports. For example, Front page says Liberia is listed on the regional scale of 47 countries as 47. That is not true. Liberia is number 30 and Somalia is 47. At least that what the TI Report says. 
 
So you still think Frontpageafrica and TI have the same report? Is 30 the same as 47? Which report is the Frontpage reading? 
 
Re-read Mr. Kai Wleh article and read Frontpage Article and you will see the misleading trend of Frontpageafrica. 
 
From my mathematical circulation, Liberia was counted at 126 which was 70% now Liberia is 138 or 76%. Is 76 a worst grade in the logic of Frontpage? 
 
The President is making progress, small, small, we are getting there. I hope we will all encourage our government to keep up the heat on corrupt officials and citizens whereever they are. 
 
Liberia is getting back on its feet. We can all be winners if we all use the same lenses to see Liberia objectively. Otherwise, we all cannot be winners but victims of lies and misinformation.

Looking at the last 25 yrs record.......
Liberia’s pre-war and 14 year civil war performance in tackling corruption was already rated amongst the lowest in the world. Have people forgotten when Samuel Doe wanted to force Liberian tax payers to pay down on Liberia’s $500 million debt to the United States...money that his administration had squandered in four years? I remembered in 1984 when Liberia was blacklisted as unqualified for further US development assistance because of default on previous loans received between 1980 and 1984. Therefore, it is false to give the impression that Liberia was performing well economically and it is just now that we are facing corruption problems. This is why the progress made in tackling corruption between 2007/08 is measured and noted in comparison with prior years of even worse performance. Looking at Liberia's the 12 point upward move on the corruption index implies that some progress is being made. However, it must acknowledged that there is a lot of room for improvement since we are starting from the bottom of the index.

Headline News & Realities........
Wolo, 
This response of mine is about realities. I will appreciate it if you would take your time to analyze the issues before you act and react. You and others who may not have scrutinized my analysis in Headline News in post #4, need to take another look. 
 
First, I am a staunch supporter of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. I am an iron-clad pillar behind her. Sometimes, I get disappointed in her, still I firmly remain an ardent supporter of hers. 
 
Realities: 
* I did not say that the Johnson-Sirleaf's government is not making any progress. There is a tendency for some people to misconstrue others for their own selfish interests. I hope that's not the case here.  
 
Let me give you an example: 
There's a seal in the city of Chicago that says, "Chicago is a city that works." True. In Chicago, people get paid on time, hospitals treat people, some people get richer, roads are neatly done, there is a 24-hour electrical service and a host other goodies. On the flip side, sometimes people get murdered, cops write tickets and corrupt individuals get caught by the the FBI or other law enforcement agencies. 
 
My point: 
Despite the fact that the City of Chicago is a city that works, everything doesn't go well always. Chicago is not an egarlitarian society. But the city works. Chicago does work mightily well, but everything there is not honky dory. 
 
The headline news of FPA and TI paint a picture of Liberia that most people feel uncomfortable with. That's understandable. It's the way in which the reporting agencies label the "headline" of their newspapers or report that sometimes causes confusion.  
 
Reality: 
The reality is you or any thin-skinner should not be agog to dismiss the fact that corruption is massive in Liberia. Irrespective of the scale Liberia is on, the truth remains that corruption looms over the heads of the city dwellers of Monrovia. 
 
There are some people who despise Johnson-Sirleaf. In their courts of public opinion, Johnson-Sirleaf's critics will never be happy even if she gives each of them a million dollars.  
 
Room for optimism: 
Scores of people, including this writer, are very proud of Johnson-Sirleaf. We know darn well that she did not bring corruption into government. We also know that instead of fighting crime, the criminals are fighting her back with extraodinary tenacity. They (meaning the criminals) seem to be on the winning side and we the supporters are saying No, No, No, No. Like Chicago, the city that works, Ellen "rocks" and is "determined", but the there is corruption in the ranks of her government.  
 
Has Ellen made any progress?  
It was reported that since her ascendancy to the throne of presidency, most employees of Liberia have received their paychecks on time. So the answer to my question above is "Oh Yes" !!!!! It's not just me saying yes, that's what most of her supportes are saying..... she is doing a pretty good job! 
 
The Bible states that "For all have sinned and come short of God's glory". That's true. But how long will a few people continue to sin without any action being taken? Even God takes action if we continue to do some negative stuff over and over. Knuckles' sexual escapade was news in Liberia for some time. One would have thought that his close association with Ma Ellen would have driven some "senses" in his head in terms of getting out of trouble. It didn't work! The emails exposed his butt in the open. He's a dirty man. Ma Ellen needs to stay away from him. He's is a criminal fighting Ma Ellen!  
 
The Kuncklegate affair stinks. Will God forgive him if he confesses? Yes! But, it doesn't look like Knuckles and his band of kleptocrats are begging for God's pardon. They are determined to drive Ellen in the mud by all means. 
That's where her problems emerge and escalate. 
If she does not disassociate herself from these people, she be considered as an "accomplice". That is a terrible label that should be attached to a good woman like Ellen who wants to leave behind a strong legacy of leadership. 
 
Some people: 
There are some people who escape reshuffling in her government. Richard Tolbert is such a person. In a good government, if there arises a cloud of suspicion over any individual, he or she needs to be transferred or terminated. But, it seems that the heels of Tolbert are dug in the ground about 100 feet. In the first place, the NIC should be merged with the Ministry of Planning and Economic Affairs as a bureau. The NIC's existence as an absolute entity makes it look like a ministry, but yet, it is not. During the time it came into existence, it was good then, but this is now. Something is not too right up there at the NIC. Something! Somebody please do something! Please make a change. Whew! 
 
You will agree that being critical is not an act of hatred. R. Tolbert is very educated, and I am very proud of him. In my view, his late uncle, W.R. Tolbert was the best president Liberia has had before Ellen. But, we have to put certain things aside sometimes in order to test patriotism. 
 
Finally, does FPA need to shut its mouth because Ellen is doing a fantastic job or as you said because progress is being made day by day in Liberia? No way. 
 
I was semi-critical of FPA when the "headline news" of Knuckles' emails were being exposed. I wanted to know if these revelations were accurate. It turned positively in FPA's favor. Guess what? As a consequence of the FPA's aggressive reporting style, a commission has been set up that will investigate Knuckles at last! Thanks to Ellen for listening! 
 
If the TI report says there is corruption in Liberia, there must be some veracity. That's exactly what FPA is doing, except the "headline news" of FPA sounds a little harsher. But, so what? There is corruption in the ranks of government and that's why the sreet criminals are multiplying. Shoot, the street criminals know exactly what's going on in the offices, even if you, Wolo do not know. The street criminals have no lipstick (or the power, influence, money) to cover up. On the other hand, the biggies can find their own wiggle room and slip out of the mess! They have what it takes! 
 
While Ellen is doing a pretty good job, corruption is searing into the walls of her government. She is not responsible, but she gets blamed because she's the leader. Something has got to be done! 
 
 
Despite the fact that progress is being made, corruption is escalating. Fortunately, Ellen is not the culprit. Some of her trusted mimions are. 
 
Thanks.

Looking at the last 25 yrs record.......
"Compared today's Liberia with the days of Charles Taylor and the war lords governments, we are making progress, even if is one point progress".  
 
I disagreed, the current Monrovia government is also a Warlord government. I believe that the Taylor warlord government was far better then the Ellen Johnson warlord government of today. 
 
Both governments have one thing in common. That is to steal liberia resources and invest in other countries. 
 
Taylor's last account was in the billions. Waite until Ellen's accounts number is out. Not to mention the amount spend on travels. 
 
These people are using Liberia as their private farm. 
 
Arresting people without the provision of law has just started. Another common factor.
