Is NPA sincere to compensate whistleblower?

The Board of Directors of the National Port Authority has announced the establishment of what it called whistleblower fund.

In a statement issued, the Chairman of the NPA Board, William Allen said the decision is intended to fight corruption at the Free Port of Monrovia and other ports around the country.

Dr. Allen said he would suggest to the NPA Board for ten thousand U.S. to reward persons who disclose credible information about corruption at the ports.

The NPA Board Chairman spoke Thursday at the close of a two-day National Workshop on Cargo Shipping and Clearing at Liberia’s Seaports.

However, observers say Dr. Allen is being political as a worker who alarmed about corruption at the port was dismissed by the management.

The dismissed staff recently staged a one man peaceful demonstration in Monrovia in demand of justice.
