According to the index, Liberia has declined six points in West Africa over the last five years. 

He accused Weah of failing  to fight corruption and ending  the culture of impunity but encouraged  corrupt  officials  in his circles. 

Speaking in an interview with the Voice of America DayBreak Africa on Thursday, Miamen called on President George Weah to lead by example in the fight against corruption by going after alleged corrupt officials including his confidants. 

He urges  the Liberian leader  to demonstrate sincerity by investigating and prosecuting officials of the government suspected of corruption and make sure that the government fully funds anti-graft institutions to go after them.
