Government issues warning over asset recovery efforts

Liberian President Joseph Nyumah Boakai's Assets Recovery Taskforce (ART) has warned officials of the former ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) that government's assets recovery efforts will not be thwarted. The New Dawn reports that ART chairperson Edwin Kla Martin issued the warning in Monrovia following consistent threats by CDC secretary general Jefferson Koijee that his party would resist asset recovery. Koijee and several officials of the past regime led by former President George Manneh Weah are sanctioned by the US for acts of corruption and serious human rights abuses, among others.
