Thanks for your effort to promoting check and balance in the Liberian financial system. The accusations put forward against the General Auditing Commission demand serious attention by the Government, specifically the National Bureau of Investigation. But I must differ with you on your call for Mr. Morlu to be investigated or audited by internationally accredited auditors. I think it is naive for Liberians to engage in discrediting local professionals for international professionals. International professionals are not regulated by Liberian ethical codes and as such may lack social responsibility for the Liberian people. If Morlu breaks or allegedly violates laws or ethical codes of his auditing responsibilities to the Liberian people, he should be called to account for it from Liberian professionals. But again I applaud you for unveiling such information and hope it is true.
