| Liberia's House of Representatives is investigating how former President George Weah's asset declaration documents were leaked to the public. | |
| All senior government officials in the country, including presidents, are mandated to declare their wealth upon taking office before the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (Lacc). | |
| It is meant to ensure public officials avoid conflicts of interest and illicit wealth accumulation. But it is not mandatory for such declarations to be made public. | |
| The former president's asset declaration documents are said to have been leaked to the public without his consent. | |
| "Weah's asset declaration form is now all in the public space and on various platforms," Frank Saah Foko, a local legislator, said. | |
| He said publishing the former president’s declared assets without his consent was illegal. | |
| It is not clear who leaked them but legislators have summoned senior Lacc officials over the leak. They are expected to appear before the lawmakers on Tuesday. | |
| In February, President Joseph Boakai, who won the November presidential run-off election defeating Mr Weah, declared his assets vowing to fight corruption in the country. | |
| Mr Weah's presidency was plagued with accusations of corruption and faced criticism for the excesses of senior officials. | |
| After Mr Boakai's inauguration in January he asked former officials to turnover government assets they had in their possession “without delay and hesitation”. | |
