This brief has been necessitated by a misleading article authored by the former Minister of Finance and Development Planning, Mr. Boima Kamara, profiling Liberia’s debt situation and comparing debt performance before and after 2018. Mr. Kamara’s conclusions are fatally flawed and as a former minister, he was offered the opportunity to revise those conclusions to avoid the MFDP issuing a clarification, on the fact that he either may not have had the information that led to the faulty conclusions or did not discern the anomaly in the debt data. Mr. Kamara turned down the opportunity and asked the MFDP to issue the clarification.

Dear Minister,  

On behalf of the Global Initiative for Fiscal Transparency and the International Budget Partnership, we recognize the effort that Liberia has made to promote budget transparency. Although this work has sometimes not yielded the expected results and inevitably challenges remain, we know that your leadership has always strongly advanced the disclosure of information on the use of public resources and the expansion of the possibilities for public participation in the budget process. In the 2019 edition of IBP’s Open Budget Survey, Liberia had a 6% increase compared to the 2017 results (link).
