Monrovia – The Center for Transparency and Accountability in Liberia (CENTAL) has expressed enthusiastic support for the reform agenda of the new Chief Justice, His Honor Yamie Quiqui Gbeisay to continue and even improve upon reform efforts of his predecessor.
In a statement today in Monrovia, CENTAL highlighted Justice Gbeisay’s commitment to tackling corruption and instituting a “credential audit” of all judiciary staff.
Speaking at his August 20, 2025, seating ceremony, Chief Justice Gbeisay promised “Chief Justice Gbeisay will be a man of few words. I intend to talk less but do more. … We will cautiously continue with the Rebranding Program of our predecessor and will however, make appropriate changes where we think necessary. We will conduct what I call ‘credential audits’ to ensure that all staff of the Judiciary have the required academic qualification and experience to effectively perform their assigned duties. I assure you that during my tenure, there will be zero tolerance for corruption and ethical malpractice by judicial actors, whether a judge, a lawyer or support staff. Whether the constant talk of corruption in the Judiciary is real or perceived, we will put systems in place and take necessary actions as preventative measures.”
CENTAL sees these declarations as a strong and necessary signal that the new leadership is serious about addressing the numerous allegations of corruption that have long plagued the Judiciary. The anti-graft body views these proposed reforms as a crucial step toward restoring public trust and confidence in the judicial system.
