The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) said it has booked an official of the Monrovia Consolidated School System (MCSS) for suspected corruption.
The entity confirms that Madam Sonita Dangan, Head of Instruction and Curriculum at the MCSS, was brought in for questioning on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, after she reportedly refused to appear following a formal written invitation to do so.
Madam Dangan, according to a release, was invited by the Commission as part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of financial malpractice, official corruption, and misapplication of entrusted property within the MCSS.
“The invitation was in line with standard procedures to afford her the opportunity to provide relevant information and clarify her role in the matter under review,” the release said.
“Despite receiving the invitation,” LACC release said, “Madam Dangan failed to comply with the request, prompting the Commission to take necessary legal steps to ensure her presence.” The LACC emphasizes that this action was taken strictly within the bounds of the law, after all options for voluntary cooperation were exhausted.
The Commission underscores that Madam Dangan’s testimony is vital to advancing the investigation, particularly as it concerns the proper management of public resources within the educational sector.
The LACC remains committed to upholding the principles of due process, transparency, and fairness.
The LACC: “All individuals involved in this or any other investigation will be accorded their full legal rights throughout the process.”
