ADNews-Monrovia, Liberia: The political pressure group, The Green Revolution of Liberia, has issued a strongly worded statement calling for immediate government action over what it describes as a “national embarrassment” involving alleged embezzlement by National Port Authority (NPA) Managing Director, Sekou Hussein Dukuly.
In a statement released Tuesday, December 2, 2025, in Monrovia, National Chairman of the group, Manja Varney Gbassey Kromah said the allegations made by Chinese investor Yang Dan represent not only a corruption scandal but “a stain on Liberia’s investment climate and a direct assault on the credibility of the justice system.”
According to Kromah, Yang has for more than a year sought justice through the Liberia National Police’s Financial Crimes Investigation Division (FCID), which he accused of “silence, compromise, and political shielding.”
“This is not confusion. This is an open wound of corruption, bleeding national dignity,” Kromah said.
Kromah said documents submitted by the Chinese investor and his legal team contain detailed claims, including:
Large sums transferred for joint ventures allegedly diverted or unaccounted for.
Machinery and assets purchased with Chinese capital allegedly seized or controlled by Dukuly.
Factories built under the partnership allegedly made inaccessible to the investor.
Intimidation, threats, and political interference.
Attempts by Dukuly to allegedly use his public office to evade accountability.
Kromah said the FCID has “ignored clear evidence” and failed to pursue a case that “any serious investigative body would act on immediately.”
He added that Yang had submitted written complaints, bank transfer records, investment agreements, asset purchase documents and witness statements, but the FCID “buried the file” while Dukuly “walks untouched under political protection.”
“This is not only injustice — it is economic sabotage,” Kromah said.
The group outlined six demands:
- Indictment or Public Explanation:
The FCID must either indict Dukuly based on the evidence or publicly explain why the case remains inactive.
- Immediate Suspension:
Dukuly should be removed from the NPA pending investigation, arguing he “cannot morally or legally continue to oversee a national port” while implicated in a major scandal.
- Independent Forensic Audit:
The group called for an international audit of funds, assets and factories linked to the case.
- Intervention by the Chinese Embassy:
Kromah urged China’s Embassy to demand transparency and accountability, noting China is the country’s second-largest trading partner.
- Government Clarification:
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs must clarify Liberia’s position on investor protection and explain the prolonged delays in the case.
- Prosecution Regardless of Status:
Kromah said that if evidence proves criminal diversion, Dukuly must face charges “without fear or favor.”
The Green Revolution warned that the scandal has already discouraged investors from Asia, raised diplomatic concerns and threatened future bilateral agreements.
“Liberia cannot attract investment when foreign partners are robbed, ignored and mocked by the very agencies meant to protect them,” Kromah said.
Kromah reaffirmed the group’s commitment to justice and to protecting Liberia’s reputation and economy.
“We will not allow public office to become a private ATM or foreign investment to become political prey,” he said. “Justice must prevail, and it must prevail now.”
