Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission Clarifies Issuance of Clearance to Individuals Following Investigations
The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) wishes to clarify recent public discussions and media reports regarding the issuance of clearance to individuals who were previously investigated by the Commission for alleged acts of corruption.
The Commission notes with concern that the issuance of these clearances has been widely politicized and, in some instances, mischaracterized as an action intended to benefit a single individual. This interpretation is inaccurate and does not reflect the facts surrounding the Commission’s actions.
The issuance of clearance is a standard administrative practice undertaken by the LACC following the conclusion of investigations where no evidence is found to establish wrongdoing or to support further legal action. In keeping with the principles of fairness, transparency, and due process, the Commission formally communicates the outcome of such investigations to the individuals concerned.
It is important to emphasize that the recent clearances issued by the Commission were not limited to one person. Rather, they were granted to a number of individuals who were investigated by the Commission at different times and whose cases were concluded with findings that did not warrant prosecution or further action.
The following individuals were investigated, and the commission did not find probable cause to prosecute 2024-2025:
1. Hasson A. Kobeissi, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of BMC Group Construction Company, Liberia Telecommunications Corporation Case

The Commission remains committed to conducting its work in a professional, impartial, and non-political manner. Our mandate is to investigate allegations of corruption wherever they arise and to ensure that matters are resolved based strictly on the evidence available.
The LACC therefore urges members of the public and the media to avoid politicizing the Commission’s routine administrative processes and instead support the broader national effort to strengthen integrity, accountability, and the rule of law in Liberia.
