MFDP Clarifies “Purported” Check Scandal

Monrovia, Liberia - The Ministry of Finance and Development Planning through the Comptroller and Accountant General Department clarifies that a purported “Check Scandal” information circulating on various social media platforms is false, misleading, and has no iota of truth.

The ministry believes that the information is not only from the depth of falsehood, but with a sinister motive, meant to tarnish the impeccable and trustworthy character of the Comptroller and Accountant General of Liberia Atty. Janga A. Kowo.

The Ministry of Finance and Development Planning urged the public to be sensitive to “Fake news” or information trending on social media platforms in the country.

However, the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning is calling on individuals who are in the constant habit of publishing fake information via social media platforms to desist or be prepared to bear the full consequences for their actions.
