The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) Pushes Forward with Corruption Cases in Grand Bassa and Gbarpolu
The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) wishes to inform the public that its prosecution teams continue to make significant progress in advancing two major corruption-related cases currently before the courts in Grand Bassa and Gbarpolu Counties.
In Grand Bassa County, trial proceedings in the matter involving the LACC, the former Chief Executive Officer of TAMMA Corporation, Abdullai L. Kamara, and TAMMA Corporation through its CEO Fabien Lavelanet, have officially commenced before the 2nd Judicial Circuit Court in Buchanan.
Following the successful selection and empaneling of the jury, State Prosecutors formally opened the case and have begun presenting witness testimony and documentary evidence before the court.
Meanwhile, in Gbarpolu County, the LACC has reached an important procedural milestone in the Gbarpolu County “Yellow Machines” procurement case involving:
• Sam K. Zinnah, Superintendent of Gbarpolu County
• Omaru Sheriff, CEO of City Lion (Vendor)
• J. Keyah Saah, Former Superintendent of Gbarpolu County
• Anthony Yorkor, Former Fiscal Superintendent
• Robert Benda, Former Chairperson of the Gbarpolu Project Management Committee (PMC)
On Tuesday, May 19, 2026, the mandate from the Chambers Justice of the Supreme Court of Liberia was formally read before the 16th Judicial Circuit Court in Bopolu, thereby paving the way for the matter to proceed. The Commission remains prepared to argue the merits of the case as soon as the court concludes a previously scheduled matter currently taking precedence on its docket.
The LACC remains steadfast in its commitment to ensuring transparency, accountability, and the rule of law. The Commission will continue to actively monitor proceedings in both jurisdictions and pursue all appropriate legal actions to ensure justice is served.
