Liberia is a West African nation in which there has been corruption since its inception as a nation. As a Digital Ambassador that digested the history of Liberia with clarity and distinction, I have understood During the Tolbert administration in the 1970s, he identified three enemies to combat: ignorance, disease, and poverty. Tolbert also established the Anti-Corruption Bureau; however, the bureau did not administer any blow to the corruption it was established to fight. In fact, Liberians trivialized the fight by calling the bureau a "corruption bureau" since itself was very corrupt.
Then came President Doe who overthrew Tolbert in a coup d'état because of "rampant corruption." Then Doe Government became an embodiment of rampant corruption and dictatorship. Doe replaced nepotism from the Tolbert regime with tribalism which was very dangerous. Taylor launched the civil war to get rid of Doe for "corruption, financial malfeasance", and with the help of Prince Johnson, Doe was brutally murdered by Prince Johnson.
