USAid's Mission Director, Jim Wright, recently denounced rampant "acts of fraud" in Liberia, revealing that approximately 90% of pharmacies in the country are trafficking stolen medicine donated by aid organizations.

He emphasized that such illicit practices deprive Liberians of access to vital donated medications, rendering them only available to those who can afford to purchase them.

In response to this alarming revelation, six Liberian civil groups have initiated a nationwide media campaign. The campaign aims to monitor the distribution of aid medical supplies and raise awareness that donated medicines are intended to be distributed free of charge and should not be sold.

Mr. Wright urged for heightened accountability measures, advocating for the prosecution of individuals involved in the theft and sale of donated health supplies.

As of now, Liberian authorities have not yet commented on the matter.
