The Civil Service Agency (CSA) has directed Ministries, Agencies and Commissions (MACs) and other public institutions employing civil servants, who were dismissed and suspended by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai for their involvement in drug trafficking, to immediately process the appropriate administrative dismissal and suspension instruments in accordance with established procedures.

On Thursday, July 30, 2026, President Boakai ordered the dismissal, suspension, and investigation of several public officials and government employees in connection with ongoing narcotics investigations.

In a statement issued Friday, July 31, 2026, the CSA acknowledged and announced its full support to the President’s decisive actions, which it said reaffirmed the Government’s unwavering commitment to accountability, integrity, the rule of law, and the fight against drug trafficking and other forms of criminal conduct within the public service.

In furtherance of the President’s directive, and in keeping with the Civil Service Standing Orders and applicable Human Resource Management policies governing the public service, the Civil Service Agency urged the concerned public institutions employing the affected civil servants to immediately take the appropriate administrative action to take full effect at the level of the Agency.

Upon completion of the dismissal process and transmitting copies of the executed dismissal letters and supporting personnel actions, the CSA will facilitate the immediate updating of official personnel records and the implementation of the necessary payroll actions to remove the affected employees from the Government payroll.

The Civil Service Agency said it remains committed to working closely with all Government institutions to ensure the timely and smooth implementation of presidential directives while safeguarding the integrity, credibility, and accountability of Liberia’s public service.

The Agency sternly warned that there is no place in the public service for individuals whose conduct undermines public trust, national security, or the rule of law.

The CSA concluded by emphasizing Government’s personnel and payroll systems must continue to reflect the highest standards of professionalism, transparency, and accountability in service to the Liberian people.
