The Editor, When it comes to lifting Liberians out of poverty, our government programs and policies have had disastrous consequences on the poor— but yet Governor Jones calls those who are opposed to our Central Bank’s highly risky loan program (micro-finance loans) … “enemies of progress”! (“Enemies of Progress”, Liberian Daily Observer Online) Ok, let’s see who are the real enemies of progress, shall we? #1) Since June 2009, the Central Bank of Liberia (CBL) started a micro finance program to promote access to capital, reduce poverty and finance Governor…

The Editor, Why is the Central Bank afraid of a real audit? (Re “PPCC COMPLAINS OF CENTRAL BANK NON-COMPLIANT POSTURE”) Every time you talk about auditing the Central Bank of Liberia (CBL), Dr. Mills Jones, the CBL Governor, gives you the middle finger, and declare that the Bank has already been audited!.. But there’s one big problem, Governor. We’re NOT talking (and he knows it) about a financial audit of CBL’s books, which was done by your external auditors (PricewaterhouseCoopers)! When we talk about auditing the CBL, we’re talking about…

Probing Mills Jones

The Editor, Why is the CBL Governor (Mills Jones) running for cover when lawmakers shine the light on him! (Re “Probing Mills Jones….”) According to the Governor Jones, the Central Bank is already being audited yearly by a reputable and professional external auditors (PricewaterhouseCoopers). But so what? Just because the Bank is audited yearly by external auditors, does that mean that we, the people (shareholders), cannot require our internal auditors (General Auditing Commission) to audit the CBL, especially its Micro-freebie Loan program, oops, I meant to say Micro-finance!
