Suspended NOCAL CEO Demands Swift Release of LACC Corruption Investigation Report
Liberian Oil Executive Questions Anti-Corruption Commission’s Delayed Findings
Monrovia, Liberia – Rustonlyn Suakoko Dennis, the suspended President and CEO of Liberia’s National Oil Company (NOCAL), has publicly criticized the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) for its prolonged delay in releasing findings from its corruption investigation against her.
Social Media Outcry Over Investigation Timeline
The former Montserrado County Representative took to Facebook on May 14, 2025 (Unification Day) to express frustration with the LACC’s handling of her case. Dennis noted the commission moved quickly to initiate the investigation but has since failed to publish results after four months.
“I chose silence during my allegations of malpractice and corruption because they were grave charges,” Dennis wrote. “Being loquacious in such an investigation was perilous and could be highly detrimental to my person.”
Reputation at Stake
The suspended executive emphasized the investigation’s outcome is crucial to restoring her reputation. She called on President Joseph Nyuma Boakai and NOCAL’s Board of Directors to ensure transparency in the process, matching their initial swift action in her suspension.
“These allegations have caused me great reputational damage,” Dennis stated. “I can’t live with those charges hanging over me.”
Background of the Suspension
President Boakai suspended Dennis on February 10, 2025 following allegations of:
- Financial mismanagement
- Abuse of public office
- Questionable $75,000 vehicle procurement (with alleged $30,000 price inflation)
Political Fallout
The case has drawn criticism from activists, including Martin Kollie, who questioned Dennis’s qualifications following her 2023 electoral defeat. Dennis maintains her innocence, calling the allegations politically motivated and welcoming an independent audit by Liberia’s General Auditing Commission.
