- Liberia's President-elect Joseph Boakai says he plans to declare his assets once his tenure begins, as part of an effort to weed out corruption in the West African nation. Boakai, a former vice president in Liberia, won the November presidential run-off election defeating incumbent President George Weah.
Boakai sat down with VOA’s Peter Clottey for an in-depth interview on his plans as he takes office in January 2024.

Wow, finally we have a CIC that speaks with clarity and integrity! Liberians are ready to help Mr President elect. We have a whole lot to do to catch up and we can count on your leadership sir! 🇱🇷🙏🏾
I concur!!! it is like a breath of fresh air
I am glad to hear president elect Joseph boakai speak for the first time and I hope everything he spoke about will be implemented
Thank you Mr. President Elect for that interview. We pray that all you have said, will be inplemented.
As we worked so hard to protect our votes, so we're looking up to you JNB to protect our revenue. That's one of our biggest challenges as a country.
What a wonderful presentation, Mr. President Elect 👏 🙌 ❤❤
Just to say Thank you Mr. President for your vision. There are many of us who share your vision and want the best for the Liberian people.
Now.. I am hearing something good. Declare your assets and audit outgoing officials and routine audits for incoming government officials as well.
With this, I hope to achieve my dream as an entrepreneur. Wish you God's wisdom and knowledge as you lead us. Liberia will raise again
I respect you Mr. President elect. and I am hopeful that you will change many things in Liberia. And your leadership alone will bring Liberians together.
Sir, you spoke well. I strongly agree with you to strengthen the rules of laws and adulting the current government. We have no trust in the public sector. With this our citizens won't see government officials as thieves.
My beloved president in whom I trust JNB aka humble man on the move 💪🙏🙏
I live for this! Prices to travel to Liberia have dropped dramatically! People are coming!
A true and authentic voice. Mr. President❤💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Mr. President, I salute you for those important discussion ongoing with VOA. We pray 🙏 and hope that your government bring jobs opportunities and please strength the Health sector, Security, School and as well as making Liberian to work with these Allen's in the stores here in Liberia 🇱🇷🙏
Good message to Liberian 🤝🤝
Thank very much mr. President I believe you will deliver our country for sure
Excellent speech, Mr. President Elect. Please implement ....🙏
This man seems like his heart is pure and really wants to transform Liberia. He seems like he really care about his people and want to empower them in a way where we all can win!
Okay Mr. President I see you looking sharp. What a beautiful time to be back home.❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
We need sidewalks, trash cans, dumpsters put in place, and public toilets, just to name a few. I Strongly believe that these items and facilities will help to maintain good a clean environment, hence improving sanitation and the overall health of our citizens. I like what I'm hearing so for from our honorable president-elect and eager to see them become a reality/put into action.
We NEED education on how to appreciate these things. All these things can only make a clean, sanitary environment if the people know their purpose and utilize them appropriately.
Thanks you Mr President elect JNB, that you will audit
Thanks... The Lord bless you Mr. President ❤
JNB speaks with clarity and detail! Liberia 🇱🇷 is not a new country! We just have to follow the instructions and systems set up!
I am down loading this interview 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷👍👍👍👍
My main concerns is cleaning. Please bring back our former City Major who made Monrovia a clean city during her time in office. And she also created job opportunities for so many people.
He's talking with authority this mam about to turn LIB around period.!
Yes, powerful interview, incredibly good.
thanks for such interview for we are waiting for the implementation
President elect Joseph Boakai, I wish you the Best to become a remarkable leader of Liberia after taking office next month in 2024❤❤❤Congratulations to you for defeating President George Weah in November of 2023❤❤❤
We love you President Elect ❤JNB ❤️😘🌟✨✨
The declaration of assets he spoke about will be a good start. As a leader strive to lead from the front with exemplary character.
You live in Liberia?
President elected Boakai, I wish you a very prosperous year.
Management is different from friendship and family: good statement, you are a leader.
Congratulations to you, JNB, for winning the just ended election in liberia as president elect. Please remember that our country is the 2nd oldest country in Africa but no good pave road connections in almost every part of the country, I hope that you will connect our road network in liberia because without good road, inflation will always take place. As a result, our people suffer the consequences, mostly poor people in the interior part of the country.
Mr.Boakai i work with him in 1985 COMPANY LASTA He is Great person my X Boss
May the Lord guide you and give you wisdom to lead your people
Thanks for appreciating the out going president 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes, coming to serve the people and /or not themselves.
Well spoken, our Pa.
I'm so proud of you Mr. President JNB
Now I know that are made the right choice to vote for JNB, he had said it all and Liberians deserve better ❤❤❤, I have no doubt that you going to lived up to the expectations of the Liberian people ❤.
Auditing should not just start with the Weah government rather your vice presidential tenue in the Ellen government.
U are a fool. U are not to tell him whether to starts from. Wisdom. This is no witch hunt; but process every sound government will do.
Why Weah and his gang of thieves didn't do it.
It seems people are beginning to get warry already. Weah had the opportunity to conduct an audit when he took over as president but he wasn't interested; WHY? Instead, officials within his government were busy KILLING AUDITORS. All auditing firms in Liberia begin silent and fearful to attempt anything like an audit during the Weah's presidency; WHY? This an opportunity for Liberia to take a meaningful step forward and set up a system that no future president can ignore. Let's put aside the distractions so Liberia can at least make some progress.
No it will start with the Weah government..if you vex go sue the government..and stop making noise
🌍👏🏼👏🏼👊🏽Hope for Africa🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
You are the most honest Liberian I ever seen in this country. Imagine, one wife through out his life until present,no spreading children around that is the very evidence to know that this president elect is the best of all. You are a decent father JNB.
Well said Mr. President elect we pray that God in his love and mercy grant you the wisdom to lead for the better of Liberia
I love every part of this interview please audit them JNB
yes! we are may a positive change. watching from my elwa belts
Declaration of assets will be the best way forward Mr. President.
Congratulations our President and I'm so proud of you and we pray that God bring those investors that will help your leadership to succeed.
Thank you Mr. President elect.
We finally have a president who knows how to articulate his plans. I am optimistic you will do better than your predecessor.
MR. PRESIDENT!!!! A BREATH OF Fresh AIR. I HAVE WAITED LONG TO EXHALE!
Thank you Mr. President elect
Investigating corrupt officials is not witch hunting. It’s accountability and transparency in a democracy. Liberia has more than five billion dollars in embezzled funds and other assets overseas. Therefore, JNB need to setup a reliable economy development commission that will investigate, prosecute and recover all embezzled funds and assets, and to establish an economic development partnership with Japan, EU and United States. Let them help you develop.
I joy watching this old man because him has the wisdom and I wish him implement it bravo president elect. Liberia will gain respect again
Our President elect, Hon. JNB, kindly speak a little about reconciliation from the grass root to the National Level pls
May the almighty God bless you
Thank you Mr. President elect, we look forward to your stewardship of our beloved country, Liberia.
Congratulations Mr. President, may God grant you more wisdom to lead our country in the right path
I support the visions of president elect Ambassador Joseph Nyuma Boakai and vice president Jeremiah kpan Kung.
I feel so very bad for the people of Liberia.. I live in California, and it’s so sad to see you guys don’t have toilets or sidewalks or even basic sewer system.. and it’s 2024.. if anyone needs help reach out please
We need positive change in Liberia, I love you JNB
This is what we want for our leader to do.
❤
Love this 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Respectfully, Mr President
Excellent 👍
Liberia has shown maturity and civility
Congratulations 👍👏👏👍 to our president elect J N B, for that powerful interview, we need a visionering leader, not rulder like out going president George M Weah.😢😢😢
This is my president, I voted for the future of my country and I am proud to be amongst the change makers 💪🙏
At least we have an incoming president who can speak in well an articulate his goals succinctly. Thank God.
Excellent
I didn't vote JNB, but I love this press release today because it's about our country as a youth, but what's about the issues drugs that is spoiling our youths because if you are providing the jobs, there should be people to do those jobs as well.
We are so excited with this brilliant interview with you president elect, that is why we voted for you we trust ur abilities,ur integrity,ur commitment mr president elect.
Thank God. 🙏🙏🙏
My expectation is that the incoming Government live and implement those elements of their platform
Mr.president elect please focus on the Agriculture sector.
I have no regrets electing this statesman as my president. With God's help you'll succeed.
We trust your ability Mr. President elect.
Liberia will rise now and forever in God's name
I believe that the Trust of the Liberian Citizens first has to be establlished. This means that they have to be fully informed through meetings and any other means locally. "Understanding leads to acceptance"!
Thanks my dad
Let our African leaders depends more of ourselves than foreign investment, how long do we want to put the growth of our economy in the hands of foreigners, that won't work any longer, discard that Mr president.
He’s not. Watch his other interviews and not just one. He’s not giving everyone to foreigners absolutely not. That’s what Weah did so the old man won’t do the same. Let’s just watch and see what happens by the end of the year.
@@herbertgibson1808 Okay, let's pray for him, for he must open his eyes and collaborate with his colleagues in Africa and let them know they can come together and work for the good of Africa.
God bless you papa
Thank you Jesus
Good 👍
Thank you Mr president elect
Uncle Joe God 🙏 🙏 bless you Congratulations
That's our president elect❤❤❤❤
Bravo my president freedom to our people ❤❤❤
He speaks like his from Ghana. Liberians have something in common with Ghana. The ascent sounds Ghanish
Great
Really our pa? Than some people will 😭😭😭 cry.
Also go for our natural resources and use it for the benefits of Liberians and Africa at large, no more slavery again. When is Africa have her freedom honestly not the same system again, open your eyes.
Our president ❤❤❤
That's great please don't forget to rescue the refugees .or the stateless people of sierra leone
Liberia need to build up it army with more women and train more women as nurses and doctors build roads and better houses and drinking water and light in every house u need to drill for oil and gas in the ground in your country stop letting the west tell u what to do work for your people and not for the west
🎉🎉🎉
