The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) has brought in several officials from the National Insurance Company of Liberia (NICOL) for questioning in connection with alleged financial malpractice.
The action follows the officials’ failure to produce key financial documents requested by the commission as part of an on-going investigation into suspected irregularities at NICOL.
Those invited for questioning include Dweh Thomas Bedell, Chief Financial Officer; Prince T. Freeman, Account Clerk; and Charlotte Y. D. Kpanah, Comptroller. Despite an earlier invitation, the officials failed to submit the required financial records within the two-week period granted by the commission.
Following repeated follow-ups and continued noncompliance, the LACC took lawful measures to ensure their cooperation and presence to aid the investigation.
The commission emphasizes that the invitation and subsequent actions are consistent with standard investigative procedures. They are intended to provide the officials with the opportunity to clarify their roles and submit relevant information critical to the case under review.
