Liberia's police force says it is cracking down on officers demanding and accepting bribes, following the release this month of Transparency International's 2013 Global Corruption Barometer report.
Highly paid people are still corrupt in Liberia. Just take a look around
and see all the ministers and their "underlings" who demand bribes. Don't
look at the Liberian legislature because that's just plain ridicules.
Bribery and corruption are curtailed when they are meaningful negative
consequences to receiving same or positive reinforcement for not do so.
(Pavlov's dog)
What I can not get is how long will it take people to understand that those
in public are the most corrupt one. what do we expect from the foreigners.
How long will it take the people in public office to stop taking tax payer
money for the Owen used, why can these people leave the pass? and help to
build our country. If you came to Liberia to do business you will have to
bribes to make your way. No Liberian will go to China or Lebanon and be
able to set up a business but we open the door to ever one which is good
but the tax that pay go into Mr John or David Pocket Minister need to grow
up we are been taking for granted you was elected by the people so stop
taking them for granted and do your Job.
We shouldn't blame Police receiving bribes because they have not been paid
their salaries. The government is an institute where input and output are
rotational.The police had been charged to protect and enforce government
orders.In the later, that is if anyone caught violating government's law
should be forwarded to the appropriate authority for persecution or be
issued a receipt to pay fine in government's revenue.How will then
government generate revenue if a police officer deemed it necessary to
request for a bribe instead of issuing the violator a receipt? Let say if
all ships entering the Free Port of Monrovia don't pay custom taxes how
will the government function and pay their servants?
