The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) has renewed its call for stronger collaboration between investigators and prosecutors as part of efforts to improve the prosecution of corruption cases and strengthen the administration of justice in Liberia.
The call was made during the opening of the Ministry of Justice’s three-day Quarterly Prosecutors’ Training Workshop held in Grand Bassa County.
Representing LACC Executive Chairperson Cllr. Alexandra K. Zoe, the Commission’s Commissioner for Prosecution, Cllr. Oretha Snyder Davis, stressed the importance of continuous professional development for prosecutors, noting “enhancing prosecutorial knowledge and skills is critical to ensuring effective case management, promoting accountability, and upholding the rule of law.”
According to Cllr. Davis, closer coordination between investigators and prosecutors is essential for building stronger corruption cases and improving conviction rates. She emphasized that effective collaboration throughout the investigative and prosecutorial process contributes to a more efficient and credible justice system.
The three-day workshop, organized by the Ministry of Justice, concluded on Wednesday and brought together prosecutors from across Liberia. The training focused on strengthening legal knowledge, improving prosecutorial practices, and fostering greater coordination among justice sector institutions.
The initiative also sought to enhance the capacity of prosecutors to effectively handle complex criminal cases while promoting consistency and professionalism in the delivery of justice.
The training was supported by several development partners, including the Ministry of Justice, the Center for Transparency and Accountability in Liberia (CENTAL), OHCHR Liberia, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and NAYMOTE-Liberia, reflecting a shared commitment to strengthening Liberia’s justice system and the fight against corruption.
