Within less than two years, another report has uncovered corruption in the Liberia National Police with misconduct in addition to the report of the Action for Genuine Democratic Alternative (AGENDA).
But the United States Human Rights Report, which uncovered the act, said police authorities instituted several measures to stamp the act.
A research on public perception index conducted by AGENDA in collaboration with the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) declared the Liberia National Police as the most corrupt institution in the country.
Mr. Cummeh noted that the research implored series of tools including; focus group discussion, three population surveys, external actions for civil society, coupled with the desk review of civil society literature, and a national workshop. The nine month project, he said was funded by Trust Africa based in Dakar in Senegal, Humanity United based in California the USA and CIVICUS-World Alliance based in South Africa.
In similar vein, the US States Department report said "during the year the LNP investigated reports of police misconduct or corruption, and authorities suspended or dismissed several LNP officers."
The report added that in April LNP authorities fired an officer for criminal activities and prohibited conduct.
Another LNP officer the report said was detained at the same time and was undergoing investigation on charges of fraud and theft for the alleged withdrawal of salaries of four other officers from Ecobank amounting to $1,730.
