Liberia: Executive Mansion Still Unusable, Incomplete After U.S.$33.4 Million Payout

The seven man special committee set up by the legislature to investigate the ongoing renovation at the Executive Mansion said Wednesday that the presidential palace was still not ready to be used.The report was made to the House Plenary on Wednesday. Fire gutted the mansion on July 26, 2006 when some visiting head of states had gone for reception with former Liberian president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. Since then, money has been put into various budgets passed for the renovation.

The renovation is incomplete and artifacts of historic significance preserved at the Executive Mansion before and after the armed conflict, have not been found and are yet to be accounted for, the report said.
