Liberian President Joseph Nyuma Boakai called on members of his government to turn increased public revenue into measurable improvements in essential services, economic opportunities and living conditions. He stressed institutional accountability and the traceability of public spending during the 26th Cabinet meeting, on Thursday in Monrovia, according to The Liberian Investigator.
Boakai praised the efforts of the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning to increase domestic revenue, saying that this mobilisation could strengthen funding for national priorities and reduce dependence on external aid.
