Honesty on the March?


According to today’s edition of The News, President Johnson-Sirleaf has returned the amount of more than US$33 thousand dollars to government coffers, money left over from payouts for travel expenses. Traditionally, payouts justified as travel expenses have been one of the main sources of illicit income for Liberian leaders. The article says this is the first time a Liberian president has ever given money back to the government.
