The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) said it is actively monitoring the final stages of the long-delayed renovation of the Outpatient Department (OPD) at Bong Mines Hospital.
The work, LACC says was originally abandoned by the contractor, Blessing Engineering and Construction Company.
In 2024, Blessing Engineering and Construction Company, led by Barkollie Kollie, was awarded a government contract to upgrade the OPD of the Bong Mines Hospital, a vital facility that serves thousands in the Bong Mines community.
While refusing to let impunity prevail, the LACC, working alongside the 9th Judicial Circuit Court in Gbarng, Bong County, filed an indictment against the company for failing to deliver on its public mandate.
The construction company, LACC says, while facing legal consequences, entered a pre-bargaining agreement with the court in May 2025, promising to complete the renovation within three weeks by Friday, June 20.
“This case is a stark reminder of the need for accountability in public infrastructure projects, especially in the health sector, where lives are at stake,” the Commission emphasized in a release.
The LACC assures the public of it dedication to fighting corruption at every level and ensuring that taxpayers’ money truly serves the Liberian people.
“No institution or individual will be allowed to hide behind broken contracts and unkept promises,” the Commission warned.
