Monrovia, Liberia – The Internal Audit Agency of Liberia has designated several of its former employees as Integrity Ambassadors for their invaluable services rendered the institution over the years.
Those designated are former employees who have been appointed by the President of Liberia to various top positions in government. They include: Cllr. Charles Karmo, Deputy Minister for Economic Affairs at the Ministry of Justice, David K. Akoi, Deputy Minister for Planning and Research at the Ministry of Agriculture and Jefferson Tucker, Deputy Executive Director at the Liberia Agency for Community Empowerment (LACE). Others include: Amara M. Kamara, Commissioner at the Liberia Electricity Regulatory Commission (LERC), Antoinette F. Dukuly, Deputy Minister for Administration at the Ministry of Agriculture and Rudolph G. Natt, Deputy Minister for Land and Rails at the Ministry of Transport.
Performing the designation at the first General Staff meeting of the entity on the weekend, the IAA’s Director General congratulated the honorees, describing them as some of the best minds that the entity has produced over the years.
Hon. David A. Kemah however challenged the honorees to continue to remain a beacon of integrity and transparency in their newly assigned roles. He expressed optimism that compliance will be strengthened at the various entities where the honorees have been appointed, considering their past records of commitment to integrity, transparency and accountability.
In separate remarks, the newly designated Integrity Ambassadors expressed gratitude to the Executive Management Team of the IAA for bestowing such prestigious honor on them, while promising to uphold the standards that come with such honor.
The honorees also inspired their colleagues, internal auditors, to continue to exhibit integrity in the discharge of their professional duties. They defined integrity as doing the right thing even when no one is watching, and encouraged staffs of the IAA to work diligently without the sole intent of seeking acknowledgement; that way, their good works will justify for their recognition.
