Governance Commission Receives Excellence Performance Award
Monrovia, Liberia – The Governance Commission (GC) has received the Performance Excellence Award under the 2025 Performance Management and Compliance System (PMCS), recognizing the institution as one of the country’s top-performing government entities.
The award was presented on Tuesday in Monrovia by His Excellency, President Joseph Boakai, for the Ministry of State for Presidential Affairs, Office of the Cabinet, in recognition of the Commission’s successful achievement of its performance targets under the PMCS framework.
Introduced by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai in October 2024, the PMCS aims to strengthen accountability, transparency, and effective public service delivery across government institutions. The system also supports the government’s ARREST Agenda, which promotes accountability, responsiveness, efficiency, sustainability, and transparency.
The Governance Commission, which chairs Pillar Four of the ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development (AAID) on good governance and anti-corruption, earned high marks in the latest PMCS assessment.
Speaking during a general staff meeting on Thursday, Acting Chairperson Professor Alaric Tokpa credited the achievement to the collective efforts of the Commission’s staff. “Every staff member of the Governance Commission must be applauded for playing a pivotal role in this accomplishment,” he said.
Commissioner Sianeh Sackie Juah praised the staff for their dedication and encouraged them to strive for even greater achievements in the years ahead.
Also speaking, the Oversight Commissioner of the National Integrity System Mandate Area, Hon. Matthew Ballah Kollie Jr., commended staff for their hard work but cautioned against complacency. He urged employees to remain committed so the Commission can continue improving and compete for the top position in future assessments.
