Ganta, Nimba County | August 4, 2026 – Liberia's Minister of Justice and Attorney General, Cllr. N. Oswald Tweh, has reaffirmed the Ministry of Justice's commitment to strengthening the country's justice system, announcing that the government has secured funding to place more than 90 prosecutors on its payroll, effective August 2026.

Speaking at the ongoing Quarterly Training Workshop for Prosecutors in Ganta, Nimba County, Minister Tweh said the decision is aimed at recognizing the dedication and sacrifices of prosecutors who have served the Ministry for years on a voluntary basis without receiving salaries.

According to him, the Ministry is aware that some of these prosecutors have volunteered for years, and it was only prudent that they be placed on the government payroll for the service rendered to their country

He acknowledged that reaching this milestone was not easy and expressed appreciation to the relevant government authorities whose support made the initiative possible.

Minister Tweh also urged prosecutors across the country to uphold the highest standards of integrity, professionalism, and impartiality in the discharge of their duties.

He emphasized the importance of administering justice without fear or favor and assured participants that, despite the many challenges confronting the justice sector, the government remains committed to addressing those obstacles through meaningful reforms.

Highlighting the crucial role prosecutors play in Liberia's justice system, the Attorney General noted that County Attorneys, and Prosecution Monitors, serve as the Ministry's direct representatives in counties, courtrooms, and communities; urging justice actors to demonstrate fairness, accountability, and unwavering commitment in the performance of their responsibilities.

Also speaking at the workshop, Liberia's Solicitor General, Cllr. Augustine C. Fayiah, commended Minister Tweh for his leadership and steadfast support for the prosecution department.

According to the Solicitor General, the Ministry of Justice has implemented several significant reforms under Minister Tweh's leadership to improve service delivery and strengthen public confidence in Liberia's justice system.

The ongoing Quarterly Training Workshop continues to equip prosecutors with the knowledge, skills, and practical tools needed to enhance the effective administration of justice throughout Liberia.

Monrovia, Liberia; July 31, 2026-Atty. Gabriel F. Ndupellar, Assistant Minister for Rehabilitation at the Ministry of Justice's Bureau of Corrections and Rehabilitation, has returned to Liberia following his participation in a regional conference on "Prisoner Classification and the Use of Technology in Prison Settings in Africa."

The conference was held in Abuja, Nigeria, from July 15–23, 2026, and featured a Learning Exchange Program as well as study visits to selected Nigerian correctional facilities.

Participating countries included Liberia, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, The Gambia, Ghana, Mali, Namibia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Togo, and the host nation, Nigeria.

The conference was organized by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) with support from the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) through a partnership with the Africa Correctional Services Association (ACSA).

Atty. Ndupellar was accompanied by Corrections Officer Madam Korpo Vekie Karbbar, Assistant Coordinator for the Prisons Database and Records.

During the plenary and panel discussions, the Liberian delegation reaffirmed the country's commitment to integrating technology into its correctional system, noting that efforts in this area are already underway.

However, the delegation emphasized that effective prisoner classification will remain difficult unless the persistent challenges of prison overcrowding and prolonged pre-trial detention are adequately addressed.

The delegation also informed participants that, in addition to the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (the Mandela Rules), Liberia has several legal and policy frameworks that govern inmate classification and humane custody.

These include Article 21 of the Constitution of Liberia, Chapter 34 of the Criminal Procedure Law of Liberia, and the Standard Operating Procedures of the Bureau of Corrections and Rehabilitation, all of which provide guidance on prisoner classification, separation, and reclassification.

At the conclusion of the conference, participants adopted a communiqué outlining key recommendations for strengthening prisoner classification systems and promoting the effective use of technology across correctional services in West Africa.

The communiqué was subsequently presented to the organizers for consideration and implementation by correctional institutions throughout the region.
